Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

Square terminated my account. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $43,987. I have tried contacting customer support 10 times with no resolution.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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 sadly.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the EFTA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct timely disputed.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
