I was issued a merchant credit on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and it simply did not arrive on my credit card. This was due to the fact that the original card had been breached and a new number issued. The Big Bank told me in XXXX of several calls I made that they had no technology to move the credit to the new number. After at least XXXX phone calls I completed and online chat and was told they would be able to send the money ( in cash ) to my bank account but it would take 2-5 business days. Surprise after 5 days NO money. I reached out again -- -this time an online chat agent told me the exact same story -- -ANOTHER 2-5 business days and this woman told me to print out the chat as her word that it would happen as she said. GUESS WHAT -- -another 5 business days and no money. I now went into a branch to speak to a live person who called the big guns and when I left he told me that it would not be 2-5 business days but likely LONGER. NOW this bank has held MY money for 38 days. If I pay late I am charged interest but its OK for them to hold my money well over a month with no repercussions? I finally recognized the power of social media and when I posted on FB I got a fairly immediate response HOWEVER now the credit has posted well past the original date of the charge forcing me to pay for it and get my money back when I next pay my bill thus extending the time I am out my money. I feel i should be compensated in some fashion for the HOURS of my time spent chasing my own money AND having to wait for it. If this were a regular bill since they owed me the money the bank would have to pay me late fees and interest. Today I received a call form the social media team who were somehow able to get the credit sent to my new card ... funny how no one could do it before.
