Legal Question in Consumer Law in Ohio

Hello.

I have paid for an online service for the last year, still with in my contract bounds to use service. But then I get a notice being accused of theft and my service is canceled and the money I paid for the service and the additional money put in to purchasing items through the service will not be refunded.

Now I have been accused of theft but they will not tell me what it is I have stolen from their online marketplace. Nor when I call do I get any answers as to why, often transferred and then transferred again. I have stolen nothing and quite feel I have been cheated as I can no longer use any of the digital content I did indeed legally purchase.

So I am getting no information on what I have supposedly done, and I am out a few hundred dollars. What can I do? And course of action can I take? Because I won't sit back and be accused of theft and then cheated out of what I have paid for.

What can I do?

In Ohio, you can sue them for violation of the Consumer Sales Practices Act and you can also sue them for breaching the contract you signed with them to provide you with the service for what you paid.

If you sued them in your local small claims court, they would likely want to settle rather than hiring a lawyer to defend a smaller claim.
