Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, {$780.00} was charge on my bank account that was unauthorized by me. It was multiple charges, adding up to that amount and Bank of America sent me an alert on the final charge asking if this was fraud. I immediately said yes, this is fraud and called the fire alert department to dispute the charges. Bank of America went silent and never reached back out to me and I called once a week and each time a different person gave me different information. Then today I get a letter from them saying that they would not reimburse me because they can not prove that it was fraud. Those charges happened in a different state that I never been to. I live in XXXX Tennessee, and the charges were somewhere in Illinois. Bank of America saying that somebody had my card number and pin number so theres no way somebody else could use the card. Having nearly {$800.00} taken out of my account surprisingly is putting me in a financial hardship and Im not able to pay my mortgage.
