Chargeback Dispute — client's check bounced after delivery

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

client's check bounced after delivery. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $5,634. I have tried contacting their legal department 5 times with no resolution.

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

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, Regulation E. Your state may provide additional protections.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
