Complaint narrative:
I opened a checking account on XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX I trade and sell bitcoins  for a better income to take care of my family and I accept payments through XXXX pay. In four days my account was shut completely down with no access at all. I called the branch and was told someone would get in contact with me. After a couple of days I hadnt received a call so I called back to the branch. This time I was told to call the call center and theyd help me. Call center said they didnt see why but my account was closed and that a check in the amount of {$6700.00} had been mailed to me. After a week and a half and no check I called back to the CC and was told that the check was mailed 2 days prior to that call and that Id have it in a couple of days.1 week went by and still ... no check. I called the branch manager and she stated that there was no check every coming and cant see why anyone would tell me that. XXXX The branch manager XXXX XXXX XXXX your account was closed due to fraudulent payments. The crypto that you were selling were being purchased by someone who didnt have authorization to use the card. I assure you that its not your fault and you did nothing at all wrong, but we had to send the remaining funds back to the cardholder. Now 2 months later Im still calling and begging to just get the chance to show that I have every transaction they may want to look into. I only sell to people that view my offer and initiate a trade. I give my XXXX info and check once they say theyve paid and then I release the crypto  to them. I have everything from the first message, down to the positive feedback left by the buyer after the trade was completed. Not once was I asked to come and bring proof that I wasnt participating in fraudulent activity. I feel as if Im being robbed  by a bank, especially when Im being told that I didnt do anything wrong. This cant end like this. I had to put my wife and children in a car every night for 3 nights I order to stay warm until I sold the only thing my dad left me just to pay our light bill. I do not deserve this treatment when I try my best to make everyone have a great day every day. MY FAMILY IS LITERALLY SUFFERING DUE TO ME GETTING ALL OF OUR MONEY TAKEN AWAY BY DOING NOTHING WRONG AT ALL! In no way is this fair to me when if there was fraudulent activity going on, I had no idea AT ALL and NOTHING to do with it. Im a XXXX  XXXX  putting my own life on the line daily to help people Ive never met. Im not a criminal and I wouldnt and couldnt scam someone and get over on them. I feel like Im less than a man/husband/father watching my family suffer and the only thing I can say is its going to get better, knowing that its not. I NEED my money back and its only fair. Why do I have to take the loss when Im being told I did nothing wrong? IM BEGGING AND PLEADING WITH YOU. PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE .... I beg you and Im sorry this is so long but you have to understand. I CANT LET THIS JUST END LIKE THIS AND SUFFER MY FAMILY.
