Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $15,640. I have tried contacting their legal department 9 times with no resolution.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the EFTA years for this type of claim.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
