BBVA Compass Bank account or service department,
Checking account Deposits and withdrawals Virginia
I had signed up for a site called -, where you could by Bitcoins using your bank account. I stopped monitoring the account because I no longer wished to do business with them. Unbeknownst to me, my data/devices were compromised after using them on an compromised network ( my temporary place of employment has significant security issues ). Through this, someone was able to access my - account, initiate thousands of dollars of purchases ( initially in small amounts, then larger ) and send the money out from the account without any additional verification being asked for by the provider of the service. I advised my bank, Simple.com ( attached to - - ), of this. I owned up to the initial few orders I placed with -, knowing that this makes the proceedings more complex. They researched it and denied my claim, citing - initially saying all the transactions came from the
with no real documentary evidence. They said that, since I authorized their use of my account for ACH withdrawals and never explicitly removed that authorization, that they had no ability to dispute the charges despite my indicating that I never authorized them. They sent me to the provider to argue my case for them to refund me, which I will report in a separate claim, but knew would n't be fruitful. Everything I 've found online suggests that even ACH withdrawals that are in dispute from a previously authorized third party are to be fully disputable. Simple says that is not the case. I asked them to provide their published ACH dispute policy and they said they did n't have one. I asked them why they do n't publish their policy when it differs from common practice ( like what the - notes ) and was then told I 'd need to send all further correspondence through postal mail, as my account was closed ( they closed it because they acknowledged my account information was compromised, even when they said none of the charges are disputable or even appeared to be fraudulent ).
