Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

ACH payment reversed after goods shipped. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $10,622. I have tried contacting customer support 6 times with no resolution.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

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

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 dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under state consumer protection laws. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct unfair or deceptive.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
