The results were the Bank I made the mistake with never fully trusted me again. So, I moved on. It was my mistake.
After that, I always push payments rather than pulling them. Anything to reduce that kind of unwitting error.
What is pushing a payment, and what is pulling a payment?

Pushing from your bank, meaning you set up a payment to be sent through your online bill pay to pay the company.
Pulling from your bank, meaning you authorize XYZ credit company to deduct the payment from your bank account.
Last month I had a payment scheduled to go to AMEX from my Chase Bill pay. Amex had changed their address, so the payment did not go through. I got lucky that I had made a minimum payment earlier since the payment never did go through. Chase showed the payment sent, with a change to a 5 day delivery instead of 1 day which I thought was weird. Then they returned the funds to my account and called the payment cancelled and undeliverable. I had called AMEX when the payment did not show up in my account. It was a big mess, and I am sure other people with Chase and AMEX had the same exact problem. Glad I "pulled" the minimum and that I called amex about the payment. Pulling and pushing can cause payment issues.

I've never had this problem with any of my CC's. I pay from their prospective sites.
