General purpose card Unauthorized transactions/trans. issues Virginia

On -/-/16 I noticed charges to my account that were not mine. I promptly contacted Amex - to file the dispute. Amex - determined that the charges were authorized. However, I never made the charges and Amex never notified me of the suspicious charges totaling $1100.00 all in a matter of hours. When I requested the documentation to show why they made their decision they refused to send me the documents or let me talk to someone who made the decision. After I filed my dispute Amex - then terminated my card and said I violated the user agreement. When I asked what I did they could n't tell me. I have filed a police report and sought the advice of an attorney and he told me to make a complaint here. The money that was on the Amex serve card is my direct deposit money for my financial aid. Now I 'm out the money I borrowed which I will have to pay back and I can not use the money for its intended purpose my education. I have contacted Amex - numerous times and get the run around. I asked them to reopen the investigation and they tell me no. I ask them to contact the business that the purchases were made at and they say no. I contacted via email the business myself explaining the charges were fraud and have not heard from them.
