Consulting a financial attorney may provide further guidance on pursuing legal action.Full Conversation
My balance on my brokerage account is wrong. I was advised over the weekend by two different representatives by balance would be rectified today and reflect $******. I am now being told it’s $******. I have screen shots of all the conversations and reference numbers. Is the brokerage legally obligated to restore my balance to what they stated it would be today ?
That sounds frustrating. In Florida**** brokerage firms must adhere to certain standards and representations. You might consider:
- Reviewing your account agreement for any relevant clauses.
- Contacting the brokerage's compliance department with your evidence.
- Filing a complaint with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) if necessary.

I am in communication with them now. My brokerage firm is Robinhood
It's good that you're already in communication with Robinhood's compliance department. Keep all your evidence organized**** like screenshots and reference numbers. If the issue isn't resolved**** consider filing a complaint with FINRA. Have you reviewed your account agreement for any relevant clauses regarding balance discrepancies?
No but what can FINRA do
Case Rating: *
FINRA can help by investigating disputes between investors and brokerage firms. They may:
- Mediate disputes.
- Conduct arbitrations.
- Issue sanctions or fines on brokerage firms for violations.
If Robinhood doesn't resolve your issue**** filing a complaint with FINRA could be a useful step.

Do you believe they would rather restore my balance to what they stated it would be or have me contact FINRA ?
Case Rating: *
It's likely that Robinhood would prefer to resolve the issue internally rather than face a potential investigation or sanctions from FINRA. Communicating your intention to file a complaint if the issue isn't resolved might encourage them to address your balance discrepancy promptly.

Then they would need to deposit an additional ****** in my account. Do you still believe that would be their preferred route.
Case Rating: *
While I can't predict Robinhood's exact actions**** it's likely they would prefer to resolve the issue internally to avoid a regulatory investigation. Continue communicating your concerns and willingness to contact FINRA**** as this may encourage them to rectify the balance discrepancy.
