SUMMARY : Debit card charge by a company for a service never rendered and bank refusing to reverse charge or properly investigate dispute of charge. 

DETAIL : Our company contracted with a tow company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to tow a commercial vehicle which had a minor breakdown. The tow company required our Bank Of America Debit card number and charged our debit card BEFORE the service was rendered. 

The tow company hooked up our vehicle but while in the process of towing it XXXX. The tow company completely destroyed our vehicle. Thus no service was rendered by the towing company as the tow company destroyed our truck. The tow company did NOT have insurance or coverage for this XXXX requiring our insurance company to reimburse us for a TOTAL LOSS of vehicle caused by towing company. 

The tow company then refused to reverse the charge ( The tow company charged our card {$840.00} for a service where they were negligent, caused total loss to our vehicle, and did not have insurance. ) Bank of America was contacted and advised that we dispute this charge for a service which the tow company did not render. BofA was provided insurance company information and documentation showing that our vehicle was a total loss. BofA refused to reverse the charge stating that it was a civil matter between the merchant and our company. 

Bank of America refused to fully investigate this matter and is allowing a merchant charge to be deducted from our bank account in the amount of {$840.00}. We adamantly dispute this charge as it was for a service in which the merchant did NOT render but also caused an additional loss to our company of over {$22000.00}. 

Bank of America feels that since I provided the tow company our debit card information, even if prior to the service, that the charge was authorized.
