payment processor classified me high-risk — absolutely ridiculous

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

payment processor classified me high-risk. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $42,058. I have tried contacting their legal department 2 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Ok so have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've dealt with this before.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
