Paycheck deposited to wrong account due to typo; employer pointing me to Fidelity, Fidelity pointing me back to employer. Need advice.
My paycheck for the pay period of May 9 was deposited to the wrong account because of a typo in my direct deposit setup. I have the ACH trace number (111000027XXXXXX) from my employer.
I've already reached out to both parties; my employer is telling me to contact my bank (Fidelity) to resolve it, and Fidelity is pointing me back to my employer. I feel like I'm going in circles and my money has been sitting in the wrong account since May 9th.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Who is actually responsible for recovering the funds; the employer, the bank, or both? Any advice on next steps or who to escalate to would be greatly appreciated. I know this was my fault on not double checking the right account number, but who should I insist on getting help to solve the issue?
I have information on:
*The wrong account tracing number for transaction, account number and routing number
*Exact value of deposit
*Exact date of deposit
What should I do?
