Ok I just read the other thread you have and here is your reason

"Unfortunately, It was really our fault. I had hired them to do a job for $4k about in Oct 08. They really didn't do the job, but whatever. Unfortunately I have had the experience before of paying up front for work that doesn't get done.

In any case, about a month later, I was wiring $25k to a processor in the EU. I was rushed as I was leaving that day for a show and I grabbed the wrong template. The money was sent instead to this design firm. I didn't realize it until several days later.

When we contacted them they promised to send the money back. They still haven't up to now.

I don't think that lawyers will be much help here... I need more underhanded and painful ways to get to these guys.

Anyone?

p.s. Go ahead and call me an idiot, I call myself one all the time about this."

I do hope that you have a letter from the company stating that the money was indeed sent in error - that will hold up in court. If so then legally you can go after them on their own admission it was sent incorrectly. It's not the banks fault nor anyone elses.

Yet the letter you have from them (if I exists) clearly shows that they intend to pay it back and that it was a mistake. Check with a lawyer now - as far as outing them - sadly GFY I don't think will help too much in hurting their reputation as Im sure they have other sources of leads. Since so much time has lapsed I don't believe the bank will do anything - unless they are good and offer to investigate the matter. there is no way to "hurt" them also as then they can go after you legally if it is found out, and posting a thread is evidence now that you intend on harming them or slandering them somehow, and that won't help you out.

Lawyers letters and showing their letter to a judge then serve them is the only route now in hopes to get anything back - but sadly I fear this falls under the category of being your fault and they legally have no reason to give the money back (unless they have said they would in a letter to you).
