Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

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

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $37,772. I have tried contacting their legal department 9 times with no resolution.

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

Illustrative response

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

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

Thanks for sharing. Dealing with something similar myself.
