Consumer complaint received 11/14/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: To whom this may concern, my name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and i have recently been a victim of funds stolen from my Bank Of America account via several ATM withdrawals as well as thousands of dollars worth of purchases of online merchandise. As soon as i became aware of suspicious activity i immediately notified Bank Of America. i was instructed to file a police report which i did. upon my own investigating i even went as far as identifying the alleged culprits. as far as revealing the culprits as my own daughter and closest friend. as i was told by a bank of america agent, if i were to file a police report with full and utter intent to prosecute, then my funds would be replaced into my account. well i have done everything that i am supposed to do to my understanding and i currently have multiple theft claims with BOA that have all been denied and the reason that BOA continuously gives me is that they have come to the determination that they feel that due to the fact that a small portion of the stolen funds were via ATM withdrawal that a fraudulent claim is highly unlikely. ok. that is understandable but it seems that the bank is choosing to focus solely on the UNAUTHORIZED ATM withdrawals and seemingly ignoring the majority of the theft which are thousands of dollars worth of unauthorized purchases byalleged culprits which i can and will name as XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as my own blood daughter XXXX. i have followed proper protocol pertaining to Bank Of Americas instructions and still after all of my complete and utter compliance Bank Of America has still yet to replace my stolen funds. I am reaching out to you for help. I am completely willing to do whatever i have to do to have my funds reinstated. i have mor than taken the first steps by identifying the criminals and have filed a report with the authorities. please contact me with some sort of information. because all i want is to have someone to hear my case and replace my stolen funds. Bank Of America is of no help. all i want is justice. please someone contact me. i honestly feel as though i am being underestimated because i am sufferer of mental illness. i am reaching out to you for help. I have copies of my police report. against my own daughter and my dearest friend. both of whom mutually conspired to steal funds from my account. i have had approximately XXXX unwillingly stolen from my account and all i am asking is for assistance in having those moneys replaced. i am a victim and am willing to do whatever need be done to have my stolen funds justifiably replaced. please please, i dont know where else to turn. please contact me as soon as possible at phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX email XXXXXXXXXXXX home address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX va XXXX please get back to me if for nothing else then for enlightenment. as i said before i will legally comply in anyway necessary so that either justice can be served and or i can obtain closure. i highly anticipate your call. please help.
