I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

payment processor classified me high-risk. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $41,743. I have tried contacting their legal department 7 times with no resolution.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
