  • I hope this is the time for me to start to chase my recipient. Are there any professional agents who can assist me to sort this out?

    (Say if anyone owe money to us we go to debt collecting agents, something like that)

    You dont need to do anything OP
    ITs obvious the Recipient has received the money and is pulling a fast one.

    They have had the money, End of.
    For everthing else there's mastercard.
    For clampers there's Barclaycard.

    normal procedure is to get your bank to start a trace on it but I've only done this for commercial to commercial payments.

    This might depend on who you're paying. If for instance it's some estranged friend of the family, that's a bit different to if it's a company:

    The OP might have a concern that taking this stance - they definitely have it - requires her to place more trust in her bank than she's willing to bearing in mind she only knows for a fact the money left, not that it arrived.

    If the other party is a company and it was for a debt, for instance, and did not arrive, she could find herself pursued quite rightly for not "paying".

    One thing that didn't occur before and worth checking: go back into online banking and check the details for the payee are right.

    This happened to me once and it was because the payee had sent me the account number by email which I pasted in. It had a leading zero and was 9 digits long. When I pasted it into the box the last digit got chopped off and the money went elsewehere (though fortunately it was reversed and came back since the account number was not valied)

    I would suggest at least another call to the sending bank as others have suggested to try and trace the payment if possible.

    Sounds to me that this might become the latest scam..........saying the money has not arrived when it has !!!!!!
    The Nigerians will soon be onto this !!!!
