Complaint:
I filed a dispute with Bank of America prepaid card offered by California unemployment. I was asked to send in a police report as well as copies of my id so that it can be used to compare images from atm and or teller withdrawals. My claim was denied and none of the info provided to validate my claim was reviewed. Had atm withdrawals been reviewed and compared to my drivers license Bank of America would have seen that I was a victim of identity theft. My account had been completely taken over and funds stolen. Once I learned about those funds that were supposed to be available to me I called and my account was frozen due to previous suspected fraud. I went into a branch and verified myself yet my claim was not throughly reviewed, no temporary or provisional credits have been applied to my account and the investigation has lasted over 90days. I have provided my lease to verify my proof of residency throughout the time frame from when my card was initially issued and funds depleted from my card. Yet Bank of America refuses to do due diligence and investigate my claim and instead readily deny claiming I must have given someone permission to steal from me
