Hi XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, You did not have sufficient funds in your account to cover the repayment of a credit from your denied dispute case. 
Original transaction : Transaction Amount : {$1100.00} USD Date : XX/XX/XXXX Receiver Name : XXXX XXXX We attempted to debit the temporary credit we provided you for the dispute, but you did not have enough funds in your Venmo account to cover it. As a result, your account has been frozen. 
You still owe Venmo {$1000.00} for this dispute credit. 
We sent you an email on XX/XX/XXXX to let you know that we would be debiting your Venmo account by {$1100.00} USD to cover the temporary credit previously issued. This debit is now complete as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
My Response : Venmo you credited my personal account for the XXXX amount, then you debited my business account and paid XXXX again. Please kook at my persona account and you will see where XXXX had already been paid for this transaction from my personal account. If you look at the XXXX bank statement you will see there is no credit from Venmo for the amount of XXXX.
