Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

Stripe holding $15K for 90 days. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $42,728. I have tried contacting their legal department 6 times with no resolution.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Oh god, another one of these.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
