Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2020, an unauthorized, fraudulent check for {$1900.00} was deposited into my Comerica checking account, by another person without my knowledge or consent in violation of California Penal Code Section 476a, and 18 USC 1344. I filed Police Report # XXXX, with the XXXX Police Department in XXXX XXXX, CA, and provided evidence of fraud being used by the other person, I also reported it to Comerica within a timely manner as soon I noticed my account being negative. The Comerica Representative investigating my claim of Fraud has improperly determined that I am liable to pay the bank back for the other person committing fraud without my consent, knowledge or authorization. That decision was made in violation of the EFTA, 15 USC 1693g, and other consumer Federal Fraud protection statutes and regulations. I asked a Comerica Representative what fraud protections do they offer and was told they will investigate. I was not provided any explanation of the investigation nor any instructions on how to dispute the liability of another person 's fraud. Now Comerica has reported to Chexsystems and debt collection I owe the bank {$1300.00} but the other person accessed my username and password for investment purposes. As a person who makes stock investments, it is common for online investors to provide username and password info to investment institutions and personnel. I have provided that info to other institutions for investment purposes and they didn't deposit a fraudulent check, but one person did without my authorization, so I should not be liable for criminal act of another person.
