Fees charged on an account you closed, a fraud claim refused on investigation, money moved without your authorization. Tell Eleanor what happened, about six minutes, and walk out with a demand letter built for your state.
Eleanor totaled the $1,060 still unrecovered for your demand letter.
These are the patterns that bring people to small claims against a company this size. If one of them is your story, you are in the right place.
Yes. Banks are corporate defendants like any other. What differs is that federal law usually runs first: the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E for unauthorized electronic transfers, and the Fair Credit Billing Act for card billing errors. The disputes people bring here are fees charged on a closed account, fraud claims refused on investigation, funds moved between accounts without authorization, and holds that never released. Keep the closure confirmation with its date, the statements after it, and the case number.
Charges that kept posting after a documented closure.
Reported in writing and denied on investigation.
A transfer between accounts you never asked for.
Line items that match nothing in the fee schedule you were given.
Funds frozen past every window quoted to you.
The same amount taken more than once.
A bank dispute has two tracks that most people never learn about until it is late. Federal law gives you a written dispute right with a short deadline. Court is the second track, and the first one usually builds the record for it.
Squabble is not a law firm and does not tell you which federal rule reaches your transaction or whether a deadline has passed. This is general information. Read your account agreement and check the notice windows on your statement.
You do not need a contract signed in ink. Ordinary records carry most consumer claims. The specifics live on your state guide.
The transaction line itself: the amount, the date, the merchant, and whether it posted as a card charge or an electronic transfer.
The deposit or cardholder agreement in effect at the time, including the fee schedule and the dispute procedure.
The gap between the two. Fees on an account you closed, a fraud claim refused, funds moved without authorization.
The written notice you sent, the date it was sent, the case number, and every answer you received.
A company answers a paper trail differently than it answers a support ticket. This is the file that makes a demand letter land.
Missing one of these does not close the door. Bring what exists, and note in writing what does not and why.
More consumer claims stall on this than on the facts. A company is not sued by its app name or its storefront sign. It is sued by the legal entity behind it, and that entity has to receive notice the way your state requires.
The registered business name of the party you actually transacted with, which is often a subsidiary rather than the brand on the receipt. It is identified during intake and confirmed against the state business registry before anything is filed.
Corporations appoint an agent in each state to receive court papers. Papers delivered anywhere else can be challenged. Squabble locates the current agent on file for your state at the time your claim is prepared.
Service of Process is formal notice delivered the way your court accepts, with proof filed back to the court. It is available with File Now and a Dedicated Case Agent for $88, or $128 if purchased later.
Squabble runs this lookup as part of preparing a claim. Doing it yourself first costs nothing and tells you early whether the party you have been dealing with is the party you would be suing.
Every state sets its own small claims limit, its own filing fee, and its own rules for serving a corporation. Open your state to see the numbers that apply to you.

That is a distinct problem from a transaction dispute and it usually runs through identity theft procedures as well as a written dispute. A police report or an identity theft report is often part of the file.
Venue rules vary by state. The ordinary options include where you live, where the account was opened, or where the institution does business.
Yes. Banks are corporate defendants like any other, named by legal business name and served through the agent for service in your state. What differs is that federal dispute rights usually run first and create the record.
It produces a written response from the institution, which is valuable, but it does not award money. People commonly file the complaint and pursue the claim in parallel.
Federal error-resolution windows are measured from the statement date and they are short, often sixty days. The deadline to file a lawsuit is a separate and longer clock. The short one governs the step it applies to.
Venue rules vary. The ordinary options include where you live, where the account was opened, or where the institution does business, and a national bank does business in most counties.
