>And yet the A.R. people are convinced it's coming out - and the paper statements I've been receiving in the mail also indicate the transactions have been successful.

>A few times in my life, I've had to go to great lengths to prove to a company that a bill was not only sent in the mail but also processed - this is the first time I've ever tried to prove that their auto-ACH feature ISN'T working.

>Some people would say, "Kevin, just keep your mouth shut...if they think they're getting their money, why say a word?" But if a company is making a mistake one way, there's nothing to prevent a mistake in the other direction. And for all I know, this company is pulling money from someone else's account. (It would be huge cosmic irony if the money is coming out of JB's account...and even more so if it would be JR's)

There are four possibilities here (in no particular order):
1. The money is coming out of your account and you aren't reading it correctly
2. The bank credited the vendor's account and missed the debit to yours (I've seen banks do weird things with an ACH transaction, but never miss half of it. Nonetheless, anything can happen)
3. The vendor's system is all screwed up and thinks it debited you and it didn't (seems most likely.)
4. Something else
In any case, you have an interest-free loan but you still owe the money and I wouldn't go out and buy a case of Guinness with it till everything is straightened out.
