Complaint #1693779 submitted on 12/11/2015 relating to Scottrade Bank. Complaint relates to Bank account or service Checking account - Account opening, closing, or management .
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Friday 11th December 2015.
I am writing to express my concern about Scottrade Bank when my online account was hacked while I was overseas. At this time I had both a Scottrade Brokerage and Scottrade Bank account. I reported the fraud to Scottrade and was instructed to provide a police report as well as other materials which I did. I respectfully requested Scottrade cooperate with the law enforcement agency but they refused and stated I must go through an internal appeal at Scottrade. When I inquired on how to submit a formal complaint for internal review, Scottrade stated that " Corporate HQ '' would get back to me. Well " Corporate HQ '' did not get back to me and after 20 phones calls, numerous certified letters, and complaints with third parties, Scottrade vaguely informed me that I would have to submit an appeal in writing, which I promptly did.
What Scottrade Bank failed to inform me about was that there was a specific Scottrade Bank form for disputing fraudulent transfers and or hacked accounts available here : XXXX I am unsure why Scottrade did not follow their own procedures for dealing with hacked accounts but I am sure that Scottrade 's failure to follow appropriate procedures appear to be an abuse of their position in an effort to avoid liability for the hacked accounts and failed database protections.
I am writing to the CFPB because Scottrade refuses to acknowledge or respond to any of my complaints and I am kindly requesting Scottrade provide me an opportunity for a de novo review of the situation. I have provided Scottrade with a completed account activity dispute form and will be expecting a response. The dispute form is available here, XXXX, and Scottrade Bank has written policies about how to process the form.
If Scottrade refuses to provide the requested documents and take appropriate action, I am specifically asking Scottrade provide me with a copy of the original arbitration agreement ( if it exists ), a request that Scottrade has refused to respond to on over XXXX different occasions.
