On XXXX, I initiated a {$900.00} online bill pay transaction with my bank, Ally Financial Inc., to be received by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a loan installment on XXXX. On XXXX, {$900.00} was debited from my account and I thought everything was cared for. On XXXX and XXXX, I received emailed correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX advising that payment had not been rendered. Upon checking email on XXXX, I immediately contacted Ally. Initially, I was told that someone other than XXXX XXXX XXXX may have intercepted the check and cashed it. Further conversation yielded that the check had not been cashed, but rather the payment was mailed on XXXX and it takes 7 to 10 business days for the payment to be received by the payee. When pressed on why the payment was mailed on XXXX, the representative corrected her statement and shared that the payment was mailed on XXXX. I requested to speak with a supervisor to share my dissatisfaction and received yet another explanation of the events. 

Since no payment has been rendered, XXXX XXXX XXXX has levied a {$25.00} late fee on my account. To quickly rectify the situation, I requested that funds be wired from my Ally account to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was informed that it would take 3 business days for the {$900.00} that was debited from my account on XXXX to be returned. I then inquired as to why it takes 3 business days to return funds from a check that was never cashed back into my account and was told " That 's just how long it takes us to process this. '' This is completely unacceptable and I demand satisfaction ; the bank should not be allowed to arbitrarily hold my money.
