State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX and XX/XX/2023, my US Bank checking account had an array of fraudulent transactions occur, which essentially wiped out my checking account. The total amount of fraud was between {$35000.00} and {$40000.00}. There were XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX withdrawals, each in the amount of {$3900.00}. Then, there were multiple " in person '' counter withdrawals across a variety of Ohio locations while I was in XXXX and nowhere near Ohio. Due to US Bank freezing, and ultimately locking the account, I can not access the account to provide ALL of the withdrawal dates and amounts, but the ones that I recall are here - {$4500.00}, {$4500.00}, {$8600.00}, and {$9000.00}. Given that these were withdrawn within US Bank storefronts, there should be video surveillance of the thief ( thieves ), as well as their signatures and other likely personally identifiable information. As soon as these fraudulent transactions were brought to my attention, I immediately filed individual claims with US Bank. Subsequent to that, I was told that I MUST return to North Carolina to reopen a new checking account, as well as RESUBMIT ALL fraud claims. With the assistance of the branch XXXX, XXXX XXXX, I opened new checking accounts, as well as refiled all of the fraudulent claims. As of today, XX/XX/2023, XXXX Bank has had NO PROACTIVE communication with me, nor have they processed the claims, nor refunded my funds. I have called, emailed, and called some more, reaching out to the XXXX, XXXX XXXX, as well as US Bank 's toll free numbers, but to no avail. XXXX Bank owes me those funds, as they are federally insured, as well as due to their lack of proper internal controls within the branch locations which allowed for these withdrawals to occur.
