Hi there. I understand your frustration over this. You should immediately send a demand letter - sent certified, return receipt requested - demanding they remit the money to you within a specified short period of time or an explanation as to why you are not entitled to it. Tell them if they do not timely comply, you will have no choice but to pursue your claims through the judicial system. Then, if they do not timely comply, file your suit.

I hope this has given you the guidance you were seeking. I wish you the best of luck!
