I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

event venue cancellation policy dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $108,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Can confirm the demand letter approach works. I used a template from a legal website, customized it with my specific facts and statutory references, sent it via certified mail, and had a settlement check within 30 days. Total cost: $7 for postage.

For anyone dealing with a company that's ignoring your complaints: file a BBB complaint AND a complaint with your state's consumer protection agency. Companies often respond to BBB complaints because it affects their rating. It's not a legal action, but it creates pressure.
