Wire Transfer Problem — GoFundMe frozen campaign funds

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

GoFundMe frozen campaign funds. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $3,421. I have tried contacting customer support 8 times with no resolution.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the EFTA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct timely disputed.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
