Merchant account blocked

Hello, I'm a new customer and small business owner (Event planning company). I have subscribed to QuickBooks, mainly to be able to send my invoices to my clients (ACH for Corporate and CC for private events). A few weeks after subscribing (all my accounting was already in the system), I have received a notice from Quickbooks saying that my merchant account has been blocked and I could no longer receive payments from clients, with no explanation. I tried to call many times (hours on the phone with the customer service) that only tells me that this is the process and are not allowed to give me the reason. My company is healthy and has no loan or credit line, so I don't really understand. Plus, I had to explain to my clients that were already invoiced that they could not pay through the system (it doesn't seem very serious). Can someone help me ? Many thanks
