Payment Processor Issue — Apple Pay dispute with merchant

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

Apple Pay dispute with merchant. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $10,650. I have tried contacting customer support 4 times with no resolution.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

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.

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

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

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably state consumer protection laws, which requires showing unfair or deceptive.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
