Wire Transfer Problem — merchant account terminated without explanation

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

merchant account terminated without explanation. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $9,534. I have tried contacting their legal department 3 times with no resolution.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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.

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

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under Regulation E, an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I've dealt with this before.

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

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.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

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

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
