Hypothetical question

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

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $45,373. I have tried contacting customer support 10 times with no resolution.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Every situation is different so YMMV.
