Product: Checking or savings account

Citizens Bank submitted false information to the CFPB in responding to complaint number XXXX. Citizens committed in writing that they would reimburse me {$9200.00} for the check that was stolen out of the mail, as I properly reported this matter to the bank. They committed to posting this money to my account by XX/XX/XXXX. 


Context from prior report : On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote and mailed a check to XXXX XXXX in XXXX New York ( a wedding venue ) in the amount of {$9200.00} for the deposit for my wedding. The check was made out to XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, someone stole this check out of the mail, washed the check, wrote in their own name ( " XXXX XXXX '' ), and cashed the check in the amount of {$9200.00} at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not realize that the check had been stolen ( as the transaction in my account showed up in the same amount as I had originally written it ) until XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately filed a complaint with Citizens and reported this issue to the police and to the USPS. The following are the timelines of interaction I had with each of those 3 institutions in the days following.
