Here via shadesong. I know you say you've got it covered, and mine's just a drop in the bucket, but it sounds like you could use a peppermint mocha or a stiff drink. so that's what mine is for.

It does me good to see that my friends have friends like you.

I've been on the receiving end myself. The understanding is "pay it forward." So I do.

And there was GREAT REJOICING!!! This, to me, is what the internet is best at.

That said...these are ideas for your attorney. Normally, if you can prove via your bank's records that the money was paid, it's then up to the property owner to prove they *didn't* get it. I'm assuming that's already done.

Might be worth checking if your rent got credited to someone else. That money has to have gone *somewhere*.

After that, there's a dandy lawsuit/ complaint to the state Attorney General's office report to the local prosecutor or district attorney (any or all) against the company that was supposed to be handling the automatic withdrawal payments. There's a word for this kind of up-f*ckery. It's called "theft", or in legalese "conversion". And in most states, that's good for double or treble damages. I'd love to see that happen to these idiots.

Good luck, Doc.

. . . and this should be good for a rebate of the last payment, which should help with February's rent at the nw place.
