Q. What steps can I take to recover stolen $400 from my bank?
A: Think about contacting a consumer protection attorney familiar with the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA). If there is a claim that falls under EFTA, there's a chance that an attorney would take the case without taking any un front fees. If you haven't done so, I would also complete a police report to submit to the bank as part of your dispute. Make sure to keep all correspondence that you sent to the bank and received from the bank.
Q. Contacted by collection agency for unknown debt, possible identity theft?

This includes but is not limited to your Experian, Equifax, Trans Union, Lexis Nexis and Chex Systems reports. This might be able to provide some information as to the extent of the fraud. From there, I would bring those reports into a local police station and complete a police report detailing as much as you know. You can also complete a fraud affidavit at identitytheft.gov. From there, you'll want to start disputing any and all fraudulent information on any credit report and any other entity. You might also have luck contacting a consumer protection attorney familiar with identity theft. ... Read More
