Banks refuse to initiate ACH retrieval when deposits go to wrong accounts
When ACH deposits are routed to incorrect accounts due to number errors, receiving banks refuse to retrieve funds even at the sender's request, citing policy restrictions they will not escalate. Customers with decades-long banking relationships have no internal escalation path and no mechanism to compel retrieval of misdirected government deposits.
