Hypothetical question

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

PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $11,788. I have tried contacting their legal department 8 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
