I had a bank levy put on my bank account and the outstanding balance was paid in full. My problem is that they took to much money out of my account. The company that took the money took $2000 more then they were supposed to. I've been calling them for a month to try to get my money back and they are giving me the run around. My question is how long are the able to hold on to my funds without returning it to me.

How does it feel to be owed money and people only giving up promises to pay, and not doing it?
People cry when the shoe is on the OTHER foot.

You MUST put it in writing to the company which levied your account with a copy to your bank.
Monitor your bank account very closely, you may have been the victim of bank fraud and the money levied against you may be going into someones pocket. You may want to consider closing this account and opening a new one at a new bank.

Make sure you send the letter certefied so they can't give you the "we never recieved it" line of crap. I am sorry man that sucks. If I were you I'd contact an attorney or go to a legal web site sometimes there are free legal help sites where you can post your question just like this and people will leave legal advice. Good luck, I am again sorry to hear that.

Write them a letter. At the bottom put cc: (your state's attorney general) Then send another letter explaining the situation with a copy to your state's attorney general along with the copy of the letter you sent asking for return of your absconded funds.
Provide copies of the proof you have and send it certified.
Good luck.

first off do draft a letter to them with this info in it. Dates, amounts taken, dates that you have spoken to them, who you spoke to. etc...
Before you send it to them CALL the Attorney General in your area and tell them all of this, see how they would like to proceed.
After you have spoken to them call the company and tell them you have spoken to the AG and give them a time frame "you have 10 days to put the money back or........"
This will wake them up and show them you mean business.
