Hi Hn Since 2024 Nov, Stripe has been holding off to our funds $800k+ acct_1PH9EbFcbviG0Uct and since then we had 0 absolutely 0 disputes and $800k was stayed untouched. We were using Stripe Standard Connect to help companies to get customers through email marketing, and ads and charge % of sales and we were specifically using direct charges which means we are not liable for disputes of connected accounts either

Absolutely ignoring support tickets & legal letters sent

Here is how their support SCAM works: 1) You contact chat 2) They tell you bear with me while I am looking into your account 3) They explicitly make you wait around 40-50 mins so you don't try again 4) They say they will need to convert this chat to email because only specialist team can handle these cases 5) Once chat converted into email, they completely ignore you 6) In the dashboard, it is shown TICKET IS CLOSED few mins after getting opening

I kept contacting them like 40+ times during past 4-5 months and it is EXACTLY SAME THING, 0 exceptions ever

Then we also sent legal letter and they completely ignored it

Now I dont have enough money to sue them unless I take loans and etc but this is absolutely insane level stealing

So I tried again TODAY EXACTLY SAME THING HAPPENED: 1) You contact chat 2) They tell you bear with me while I am looking into your account 3) They explicitly make you wait around 40-50 mins so you don't try again 4) They say they will need to convert this chat to email because only specialist team can handle these cases 5) Once chat converted into email, they completely ignore you 6) In the dashboard, it is shown TICKET IS CLOSED few mins after getting opening

Please someone help me find a laywer who would do this for %, I need my funds back

Hi there, can you share your business website here please?

We have shut down the website and the business couple months after Stripe closure but Stripe team can find my account from account id I shared on the post. If you are from stripe team you can use acct_1PH9EbFcbviG0Uct to find my account
