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

bank won't reverse wire transfer. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $33,043. I have tried contacting their legal department 10 times with no resolution.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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 the EFTA, timely disputed.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

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

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.
