When a customer mistakenly routes a payment to Bill.com instead of the business, Bill.com refuses to help trace or recover the funds, leaving the business unable to collect $2,300.

Bill.com provides no support to non-account holders who receive misrouted payments, and offers no way to trace a payment using a payment out number or reference ID.
