Well, oftentimes they do because their respective divisions don't speak to each other. Your best bet: immediately contact your state's banking department and the attorney general's office, explain the urgency of this situation, and file a written complaint. Due to privacy laws, nothing will usually be done unless your signature is on a complaint form.
