Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I withdrew some money from a brokerage account ( XXXX ) of mine to my Chase checking account. The withdraw triggered fraud alert on the XXXX side and XXXX recalled the fund that already has been transferred to my Chase checking account. After a manual review with XXXX, they were able to determine that it is indeed me accessing my own money and the fraud alert was cleared. They returned the fund that was recalled from my Chase checking accounts directly back to me. 

However, Chase froze my checking account due to the fraud alert from XXXX side, and refused to unfreeze my account even after XXXX finished investigation and returned my money. Chase is withholding {$5400.00} of my money for over five months now.

I communicated multiple times with Chase, offered to submit documents from XXXX to prove there is no fraud going on, but Chase didn't even want to take a look at those documents. They claim all they will do is to wait for communications from XXXX that the account is not involved in fraud, but from XXXX side they have long concluded their investigation and returned my money. XXXX told me they are unable to influence other bank 's behavior. 

Now my money in my checking account has been frozen in limbo for over 5 months, and Chase is still " waiting '' for XXXX, at least that is what they told me.
