What should I do if my payment processor froze my account in San Diego?
Step 1: Don't panic — holds are common after unusual volume spikes or the first chargeback. Step 2: Call the processor's risk department directly (not general support) and ask for the specific hold reason in writing. Step 3: Provide documentation if requested (invoices, ID, bank statements). If the hold isn't resolved within 5 business days, file a complaint with the CFPB and your bank simultaneously — processors respond faster when regulators are involved. If you need a backup processor live within 48 hours, text PJ.
