As others have said, you keep adding things that weren't in the OP, which wasn't clear to begin with. In one your last posts, you added the fact that you offered 40,000 images to upload. Do you think that might have raised a few red flags? You have personally shot and processed over 40,000 images? I have been doing this since 06 and shoot and keep more than I should, and I am currently at about 17,000.

Also as others have said, if you want to quote the entire conversation, not leave out major details like the 40K images, then maybe we can offer some advice. Otherwise, it sounds like you overplayed your hand and she is calling your bluff.

I very seldom see any reason to defend Istock these days, but I find myself very skeptical that one person could manage to shoot, select the best shots, process those, and wind up with 40k images ready to submit at once without having a bit of help.  Add to that the discovery that this photographic dynamo owns a company which employs other shooters, and I don't see how Istock can be blamed for thinking you were a company and not an individual.  After reading this thread I am tempted to come to the same conclusion. 

In my experience, the people who shout loudest about how they were wronged in a given instance are quite often actually in the wrong, and the more wrong they are, the louder they shout to convince everyone otherwise.  The (gentleman) doth protest too much, methinks.

FWIW, I was incorporated for a couple of years and when I incorporated I had to fill out different paperwork and convert my account to a company account on several agencies.  When I closed the corporation and reverted back to an individual I had to fill out paperwork again.  It wasn't a huge deal.  I certainly wasn't outraged about it.
