Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

merchant account terminated without explanation. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $40,644. I have tried contacting customer support 3 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Oh god, another one of these.

Here's where people usually go wrong is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Following this thread closely. The amount of practical information here is amazing. Much better than the generic advice I've seen elsewhere.
