I’m facing a frustrating situation on Freelancer.com. A client confirmed the work and released payment, but then filed a dispute through the EDR system. Now, Freelancer has locked my funds. What can I do? The work is completed and the client has accepted it. It seems like they’re unfairly abusing the system.

In India, you can dispute the client’s claim with Freelancer.com, providing evidence of work completion and acceptance. If you have proof of the client’s confirmation and release of payment, you have a strong case to have your funds released. You can also consider consulting a lawyer to explore further legal options.
