Stripe payment processor classified me high-risk - How to Get Funds Released

Not gonna lie, i'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

payment processor classified me high-risk. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $1,245. I have tried contacting their legal department 6 times with no resolution haha.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

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.
