Anyone else having my particular issues with Tax refund?

Anyone having issues with 2010 tax refund?

• We filed our Tax returns electronically late March. After weeks of waiting and no return we reached out to an IRS rep to determine the issue. Rep stated our refund had been sent to our checking account, although it had not. After more inspection it was determined that the IRS had sent our check to an incorrect banking/checking account (account information we provided on our electronic return was correct one and was totally different than account where funds were sent) - however to a person who has the same name as my husband. After completing notarized documents, and making 2 trips to the IRS office, along with multiple phone calls we STILL do not have our money! Each time we call we are told to wait another 30 days. However we never receive any letters or any type of correspondence explaining where the IRS is at in process, or any resolution etc., so we call back after 30 days and are told to wait yet another 30 days. WHAT can we do to get out money back? The IRS made the mistake - NOT us.What can we do. this is ridiculous. if we were 1 day late the IRS would want penalties and interest, but when the IRS makes a mistake, too bad taxpayer! Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
