Small claims court is pretty good if it’s available to you and most disputes probably fit within the limits. These courts deal with corporate malfeasance quite a bit so they’ve likely seen it before.

In the UK you couldn't claim $400k through small-claims, it is limited to £10k. Is it that high in the US?

You also can't get 2x damages, or a fast process!

Small claims is definitely less than $400k. In Texas the limit is $20k.

It probably doesn't really matter though. Your contact with Stripe probably requires arbitration but that isn't necessarily a bad thing either.

Do you still technically have a contract with Stripe after they've suspended access to your funds?

I'd assume yes, but it seems weird to have a contract still in force with a company who refuses to do business with you...

You can literally claim 'breach of contract' and force them to perform under the contract. Stripe can stop further processing under the contract by all past actions until their notice of termination is going to be under the contractual terms as prior agreed upon.
