Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Look, 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.

Oh god, another one of these.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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.

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.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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