Quick background on my situation in California — any input appreciated.
Amazon suspended my seller account. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $23,882. I have tried contacting customer support 3 times with no resolution.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under Regulation E, an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.
Nolo and Avvo have directories if you need to find someone who does this type of case.
Dealt with this exact thing last year.
The trap most people fall into is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead ngl.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Of course the details matter a lot here.
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.
Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.
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.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
