Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 18th February 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

My daughter stole my debit card on several occasions withdrawing from my account at the ATM for a total of {$1800.00}. I contacted Bank of America and filed a claim to get the money back. I also called the police and filed a report with the police. They spoke to her and she admitted to stealing my card and withdrawing the money. My claim with Bank of America was denied for the return of the money because they said by giving her my card one time to use made her an authorized user. They also said that if she steals my card because now she is an authorized user anyone she gives it to to use becomes an authorized user. I tried to fight the decision but failed. They have not provided anywhere where it states that by giving my daughter once to use my card that she becomes an authorized user, and anyone she gives it to. Please help me in resolving this issue. My daughter is going to be prosecuted for the theft.
