Airbnb Holding My Money — client's check bounced after delivery

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

client's check bounced after delivery. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $1,788. I have tried contacting their legal department 10 times with no resolution.

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under Regulation E. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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

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

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've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
