Hypothetical question

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

FBAR filing for offshore accounts. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

PSA: many consumer protection statutes allow recovery of attorney fees and treble (3x) damages. This means even if your actual damages are small, the statutory multiplier can make it worthwhile to pursue. Check your state's consumer protection act.
