Hypothetical question

So basically i've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $12,442. I have tried contacting customer support 4 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Illustrative response

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