PayPal Square terminated my account — Dispute Resolution

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

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $40,929. I have tried contacting their legal department 6 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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 state consumer protection laws. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct unfair or deceptive.

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

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 work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. 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 seen this play out several times in my field.

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

I've dealt with this before.

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

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

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

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

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
