I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

Reg D 506(b) compliance question. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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