I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

Zelle payment sent to wrong person. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $2,703. I have tried contacting their legal department 6 times with no resolution.

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

Honestly, been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it honestly.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

Most folks screw this up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
