I'm in a difficult situation in Nevada and trying to figure out my next steps.

Shopify froze my payments. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $23,061. I have tried contacting customer support 5 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the EFTA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct timely disputed.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait 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.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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

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 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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
