When ACH transfers fail to reach destination accounts, originating banks refuse to provide tracing numbers or initiate timely Reg E investigations, leaving senders unable to locate their money. Receiving banks confirm funds were never credited while sending banks claim the transfer completed successfully, creating an accountability gap neither institution will resolve. Consumers are left without accessible legal tools to compel the investigation disclosure they are entitled to.
