I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.
GoFundMe frozen campaign funds. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $49,302. I have tried contacting their legal department 9 times with no resolution.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
