I ran into the same situation with Chase a few years ago and ended up just paying to get them out of my hair. I decided henceforth to wire funds or otherwise pay electronically and close the charge account same day, and have done so twice.
Not to say that is the only solution. It likely depends on the specific cardholder agreement and the dates of money transfers. I look forward to reading about what you learn.
