Complaint: I have tried now for months to handle this on my own. I have gone to XXXX XXXX and they don't even want to sit down with me because the account is closed. I tried XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have also called numerous times same dates because I would go into the branch they would give me number because, " they were unable to help me '' and I was on the phone for hours transferred to multiple times all while getting no where. Then one day recently XX/XX/XXXX I called to be transferred to 6 representatives when I finally got a nasty man XXXX XXXX agent number XXXX. That was a 4 hour conversation where I was transferred 6 times and they said there is nothing they can do because the account is in my name and closed. 

Back in XXXX I started working for XXXX XXXX, owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX XXXX. I was doing mostly office work helping him collect on past due accounts, I was in charge of payroll, ( Which never happened ) scheduling and sometimes I would go out into the field for estimates or to do work. He had mentioned to me that he was going to add me on the " Business Bank account '' and make me a signer because we were getting into situations when he would want me to write checks and I told him I can not because it is not my account. Then one day in XXXX we went into a XXXX XXXX  and we did just that, made me a signer. I made it clear on multiple occasions I just wanted to be a signer. That day when I was added XXXX account was already negative, I said this seems like a bad idea I don't want to go on this account as a signer when it is negative. He said a customer had written him a check and it will be handled. I believed him. 

Now fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX I have never written any checks out of that account nor did I ever have a debit card with my name on it. My issue is this was his account it is negative because of his negligence not mine. I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX  account for 19 years which now is closed and purged because XXXX XXXX wrote and deposited checks into my account and they were bogus. I have already filed charges against him and had to get multiple police reports because this man stole my identity and ruined my life in just under a year. He is now being held at the XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX where he is facing multiple XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I need help resolving this issue so I can begin to get my life back. When I met him I had an XXXX credit score and the same bank account for 19 years. My credit score is now under a 5 and I am unable to get a bank account because of him. He also opened a XXXX account in my name which had multiple checks deposited and it was left negative and purged. He opened that without any of my knowledge.
