Consumer Narrative
This company allowed someone to add themself to my account online, order a card, use the card for XXXX XXXX, and have the payments deducted from my business account. When it was discovered, they closed the card and transferred the balance to my card. On XX/XX/2022, they sent me a " Fraud Investigation Form ''. I filled it our and returned it. On XX/XX/2022, they sent me another letter stating that on XX/XX/2022, they initiated an investigation and denied it on XX/XX/2022 because They say " I authorized, participated in, or benefited from the purchase '' ; and that additionally on XX/XX/2022 they sent me a letter IN ERROR advising my claim was provisionally approved. I have sent them a response letter stating that 1 ) I never applied for nor authorized another user or card on my account. No one ever called me to verify or alert me, they simply issued the card and, 2 ) these charges were all for personal plastic / cosmetic surgeries/ treatments that were performed on someone else, not me, that did not live with me and therefore did not benefit me in any way. To my knowledge, it is illegal to apply for a credit card in someone else 's name. I should not be held responsible for the lack of due diligence by this bank confirming that I was adding an authorized user and card on my account. I have already suffered enough with this considering {$400.00} - {$500.00} a month was coming directly out of my business through ACH for a very long time before it was discovered.
