A: Attorneys in Puerto Rico could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to reach out to local attorneys to discuss your interest in filing a case, you could gather your relevant documents for your dispute. Attorneys will want to see your agreement with the writer, bills or invoices, records of any communications if they involve pricing terms or changes in pricing terms, and other possible information. Good luck

A: If you believe a ghostwriter charged you an amount you never agreed to, you may have grounds to file a case. Start by gathering all the evidence, including any written agreements, emails, messages, or receipts that outline the terms you discussed. This documentation will be important to support your claim that there was no agreement on the amount charged.

Next, consider reaching out to the ghostwriter directly to discuss the situation and attempt to resolve it amicably. Sometimes, misunderstandings can be cleared up through communication. If you don't get a satisfactory response, let them know that you're considering legal action.

If the matter isn’t resolved, you can file a case in small claims court or consult with a legal professional for more detailed advice on how to proceed. In Puerto Rico, there may be specific regulations or processes to follow, so be sure to research these or seek local legal assistance to guide you through the process.
