That is a claim for damages and a separate claim but --- it is a claim that only the Sheriff has to defend if made in this case cause and effect.
Credit card processing, and in general banking relationships, are not a guaranteed 'right' per se. And only a right of freedom of commercial association when 'personhood' or public utility are in question. You have a right to the delivery of power to your home only contingent on a deposit (maybe -- as to creditworthiness) and/or payment monthly for the power used -- regardless of your standing or reputation otherwise, e.g.; crackhead or whoremonger.
To put it simply: If I own a private road and charge for passage I can set a total vehicle weight. If you cannot get to the other side because your truck is too heavy for my road -- too bad. It's my road, on my private property. If you have 4 naked whores in your van I can deny you passage as an undesirable -- that's my right on my private property.
