Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
SAFE vs convertible note comparison. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
The key lesson I learned from my experience: DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Screenshots, emails, certified letters, photos — all timestamped. When it came time to prove my case, having a clear paper trail made all the difference.
Just want to share a positive outcome: after 3 months of back and forth, the company finally agreed to a full refund plus compensation for my time. The turning point was when I mentioned I'd be filing a complaint with the FTC. Document your communication timeline — it shows persistence and seriousness.
