This happened to me with a different processor. The demand letter approach works — cite their Terms of Service provisions about timely disbursement and threaten arbitration. Most processors settle to avoid the cost.

Keep in mind that payment processor disputes are governed by the contract you signed, not consumer protection law (since you're a merchant). Read your merchant agreement carefully for the dispute resolution process.

For anyone in this situation: don't rely on a single payment processor. Always have a backup processor ready to go. Diversification isn't just for investments.
