Money transfer disappearance

Perhaps someone here could advise me?



I've been using the Ikobo credit card service for many months and regularly send money overseas, usually about 200 us dollars at a time.



Two weeks ago, although the recipient account was credited, the money just can't be withdrawn. I've asked Ikobo to investigate the possibility of a technical malfunction or a possible breach of security.



Total silence from them on this matter, they suspended my account and then re-opened it when I made a further complaint but the question of the missing money is still unanswered.



I got a reaction out of them a month or so ago when a card failed to be delivered and I contacted the US Better Business Bureau (Why haven't we got anything so effective).



My suspicion is that as they won't offer any explanation, they certainly haven't suggested a refund, the security breach scenario is more likely and they're trying to keep it under wraps.



Is there any way that I could make my complaint direct to the visa processing company, I wonder?
