Question: How can I resolve a situation where my bank claims to have paid for a money order that I never received, and the post office confirms that the transaction never occurred?

Answer: In a case of a disputed transaction where the bank and the postal service provide conflicting information, and all customer disputes and escalations fail to resolve the issue, the suggested steps include escalating the matter through the bank's higher management, filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and considering legal action through a consumer advocacy group or the attorney general if other avenues do not yield results.
