Question

How do I get a company from taking money out of my account? I have called them turned them in and they are still taking money out of my checking account. I have told the bank I dont know who they are and asked them to stop all transactions unless it is by me inside the bank. I dont know what to do anymore. I am now over 1000 in the hole because of this one company. It is called USA credit and I have never even been on their website. They got my information from Platinum Credit Card. Which I applied for but was denied. Any other suggestions please before I end up in jail.

I have also asked the bank to change my account number and they wont do it until I am caught up on the balance

I cant close account until balance is caught up either tried that.

Answer 1

You don't need to close the account. Do what I did: put a stop on all electronic or other forms of transactions from that company. The bank can do it directly. It's just like a stop-check except it's for electronic transactions.

Answer 2

First close the account to stop them form taking anything more out of it. Next report them to the Better Business Bureau ( who will do little) then the Federal Trade Commission. Also, if you have proof that you have told the banks that you do not wish them to allow this company to withdraw money from your account then you have a lawsuit option against the bank to get your money back. You could also report the bank to the federal government as well.

Bank Accounts and Fraudulent Withdrawals

Different laws determine your legal remedies based on the type of bank fraud you have suffered. For example, state laws protect you against fraud committed by a thief using paper documents, like stolen or counterfeit checks. But if the thief used an electronic fund transfer, federal law applies. Many transactions may seem to be processed electronically but are still considered "paper" transactions. If you're not sure what type of transaction the thief used to commit the fraud, ask the financial institution that processed the transaction.



Fraudulent Electronic Withdrawals

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act provides consumer protections for transactions involving an ATM or debit card, or another electronic way to debit or credit an account. It also limits your liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers.
You have 60 days from the date your bank account statement is sent to you to report in writing any money withdrawn from your account without your permission. This includes instances when your ATM or debit card is "skimmed"- that is, when a thief captures your account number and PIN without your card having been lost or stolen.

If your ATM or debit card is lost or stolen, report it immediately because the amount you can be held responsible for depends on how quickly you report the loss.

• If you report the loss or theft within two business days of discovery, your losses are limited to $50.

• If you report the loss or theft after two business days, but within 60 days after the unauthorized electronic fund transfer appears on your statement, you could lose up to $500 of what the thief withdraws.

• If you wait more than 60 days to report the loss or theft, you could lose all the money that was taken from your account after the end of the 60 days.

Note: VISA and MasterCard voluntarily have agreed to limit consumers' liability for unauthorized use of their debit cards in most instances to $50 per card, no matter how much time has elapsed since the discovery of the loss or theft of the card.

The best way to protect yourself in the event of an error or fraudulent transaction is to call the financial institution and follow up in writing by certified letter, return receipt requested so you can prove when the institution received your letter. Keep a copy of the letter you send for your records
.
****** After receiving your notification about an error on your statement, the institution generally has 10 business days to investigate. The institution must tell you the results of its investigation within three business days after completing it and must correct an error within one business day after determining that it occurred. If the institution needs more time, it may take up to 45 days to complete the investigation but only if the money in dispute is returned to your account and you are notified promptly of the credit. At the end of the investigation, if no error has been found, the institution may take the money back if it sends you a written explanation.
