BBU Interservices BBU INTERSERVICES STOLE $29.95 OUT OF MY CHECKING ACCOUNT SILVER SPINGS, Nevada *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account that someone wrongfully takes it from you!
I too had a fraudulent check pass through my checking account. Everything is the exact same as everyone else: the high number of check, the $29.95 charge made payable to BBU interservices; my address was incorrect but was in the same county as I live.
I also called the 866 number on the check and demanded a refund as well. "Cleo" asked for the transaction number, which I gave him. Then he asked for my checking account number: UH, Don't think so! I told him if they took my money from my account, then they should have that information! He then said I should receive the refund in about 7 to 10 days. Yeah, right! I will hold my breath!
Today, I had to take off work to go to my bank (which is not opened on weekends) then I was instructed to file a report at the Police station. Once I gave my banker the police report, she said the bank will try to get my money back first, but if they are unable, then they (the bank) would refund me the money.
I have been a nervous wreck all weekend since i discovered the fraudulent check. I have been monitoring my account continuously. I am wondering if anyone who has also had a fraudulent check had any other suspicious activity, or if it just stopped with the $29.95 charge.
I, as well as many others, pay my mortgage online with my checking account - to Cenlar. I called Cenlar tonight to ask if they have had any security breeches and the girl said she would file a report - to who? I don't know. She said that it was because of the security breech but she would never admit to them having a breech. I'd say if anyone else has been ripped off by BBU Interservices which have a mortgage with Cenlar - CALL CENLAR!!!! Make it be known they that have screwed us over and put our finances at risk!!!!
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back! HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO: Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E. According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: “we could not do anything for you” or “you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days”. If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges. Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent! DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get. And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state. Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth. If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form. CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here. Remember… Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action. And good luck… Let us know how you do!
