Stripe Square terminated my account — How to Get Funds Released

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

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $22,918. I have tried contacting their legal department 7 times with no resolution.

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

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.

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

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
