What should I do if my debit card was lost or stolen?
In the event your ATM and/or bank card was lost or stolen, you will want to realize that you have two business days after the date you discovered you were not in possession of your card to reach out to your bank and let them know. You will want to note that it is not two days from when you lost the card, but rather, it is two business days after the date you discovered you lost the card.
If you found unauthorized ATM charges on your bank statement that do not involve an ATM card, you are given 60 calendar days (not business days) from the date you found the unauthorized accounts to notify the bank. After you have completed this, the bank is required to reimburse all funds withdrawn without your permission. You should not miss these deadlines. If your bank rejects your claim of fraud, you must retain the services of an experienced California identity theft victim lawyer as soon as you can. Our legal team can fight to help ensure you are adequately compensated for any losses you have faced as a result of this fraud.
