So i know the sweet lady who used my debit card without my premssion to the tune of over 900 dollars. Filed fraud charges with the bank and it has almost been two months and everything is still being reviewed by the bank. I also filed a police report filled with text messages of sweet lady admitting her guilt, and submitted that to the bank. Crickets on the entire issue since the beginning of february. Now, said sweet lady is on probation for theft, and I know her probation officer. Should I speed up this process by just turning the police report over to the probation officer? Or continue to wait and let the bank/police handle it on their own?

frick that.

Nothing pisses me off more than when places drag arse about returning my money.

But you can bet your sweet arse if you're that late getting them their money they will not be as patient.

I hate banks. And thieves.

You filed fraud charges and they haven't refunded you your money?

Or do you want to see justice?

Because circumventing the law and giving it to her probation officer is a bullshite move. Innocent until proven guilty.

If you bank hasn't returned your money then it is on them. I'd be talking to them and pulling the rest of my business.

Did they return your money? If so, let them do it their way.

Never use a debit card for purchases.

Right about now wouldn't it be nice to have the credit card company missing money instead of your bank account?

Agree about the bank though. They won't care, but I would still pull business.

Or rob them for $900.

this is good advice. carry 2 credit cards and an ATM card (no debit feature) on it.

They gave me temporary credits which are still under review. The problem is I don't feel comfortable spending a large amount of money like 1k right now because I have 1k in temporary credits. Im not sure they will be awarded back to me, and I am very frustrated about this whole process.

She admitted guilt, I think this is a pretty slam dunk case, but I just find it strange that JPSO did nothing about it even though the woman is on probation in jefferson parish.

You about summed it up. This has been a nightmare, she is literally bragging about it too. It was all on incredibly stupid things like long uber rides and itunes. Nothing useful like food for herself or daughter -Salty man.

She admitted guilt to you. She could please bargain down to a lesser charge to keep her out of jail and out of trouble.

That is ridiculous. I've had debit fraud, and so have many of my friends. We were all refunded the money within a day or so of filing the affidavit with the bank. I'm not opposed to you reporting it to her PO, but I'm not sure it'll help you get your account resolved any faster. It's ridiculous they've left you with a temporary status on the credit for 2 months. You need a new bank.

I know the OT is on full outrage right now and don't want to ruin the fun but... The Temporary Credit thing is just part of the bank's process. They wait 90+ days after that and then you will receive a letter telling you the case was closed and the credit is permanent. This happens all the time at my business (you wouldn't believe the amount of debit card fraud from hackers). Don't sweat it and spend away. I will admit, it was disconcerting the first time but I now realize it is standard procedure.

Did you knowingly tell her your pin number or give her your card?

I went through a similar wait about 3 years ago. As soon as I got my money back, I changed banks.

Sounds like this was your girlfriend and you have let her use the card before and now she used it on something you didn't approve of.





Also a police report on something like this doesn't really mean too much.
