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

Apple Pay dispute with merchant. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $23,233. I have tried contacting customer support 8 times with no resolution.

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

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

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.

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

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 state consumer protection laws years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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.
