My debit card from Bank of America was stolen on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( going by the account activity ). The person who stole it knew my pin number and also gained access to my online account and changed my password. I have absolutely no idea how these people obtained all my information. They deposited a check for {$3300.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. Even though the signature in the back of the check did n't remotely resemble mine and I do n't believe they could have provided a valid ID, the funds were made readily available without a hold. These funds were used to make several purchases. When the check came back for insufficient funds and was debited from my account on XXXX/XXXX/15, the account balance went down to - {$1000.00}. The bank continued to approve purchases and debits for XXXX additional days until I finally realized my debit card was missing and I called them to notify them. By then, my account balance was - {$3500.00}. They said they would open an investigation that would take up to XXXX days and the very next day I received a letter saying they had completed the investigation and found there was " no error in the instance '' and I was now liable for all that money. So their investigation took one day during which no one contacted me to ask me anything. I filed a police report on XXXX/XXXX/15 because someone from the bank asked me if I had filed a police report. I filed it late because this had never happened to me before so I did n't know what I had to do. The bank alleges they called me on XXXX/XXXX/15 to verify the charges and I said they were ok. I do n't remember ever getting that call. When I asked them for a copy of that conversation they said they could n't give it to me because only the police had the right to ask for it. I have left a few messages for the police investigator that was assigned to my case that have gone unanswered. In the meantime I ca n't open an account anywhere else, I ca n't deposit my work checks anywhere and my credit has been compromised. I think the bank should n't have accepted the initial deposit of over {$3000.00} without proper identification and without verifying my signature. They should have at the very least put a hold on the check until it cleared. They also should have detected the unusual activity in my account and taken the proper steps to alert me of the situation. I need help please! Who should I contact? Who regulates the banks? 
I want to clarify that the only reason the bank reopened the investigation XXXX was because I called them to tell them they were wrong and they needed to investigate further because I did not make any of those charges. As far as they were concerned their so called investigation was resolved in XXXX day. Never, during any of their XXXX investigations I was ever contacted by anyone to ask me anything at all.
