Sorry for the wall of text. 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 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $8,488. I have tried contacting their legal department 7 times with no resolution.

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

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.

The trap most people fall into is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager lol.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
