Need Help/Advice for Getting Money Back After Failed Payments with Bill Pay

I'm hoping someone in the community has dealt with this issue and has some advice. We have Quickbooks online and had sent out a number of vendor payments successfully. Then in late October, we tried making two $25,000 payments to a vendor that came back with a bank error. I found this odd because we successfully paid this vendor with the same information via Chase. I had a third payment scheduled for this vendor but cancelled it after seeing those failed payments. All in all, Intuit took $75,000 from our bank account. All of this occurred between Nov. 1-3rd. We still don't have the money back in our bank account, and I have spent 10+ hours with customer service. My last attempt to deal with this was a week ago, and I spent 4 hours on the phone with customer service and didn't get a resolution. I have been told by one agent that $25000 was "released" on the 17th but they don't know what is happening with the other two $25K payments. Another rep told me they were all "released" on the 16th" and I'd see them in my account in 8-10 business days. I've been given dates of Nov 10th, 16th, and now beyond. Each date passes, and we don't have the money back. At this point do I contact a lawyer or law enforcement? Any advice?
