I purchased XXXX notebooks from XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015 for ~ {$16.00} and that charge was on my card. Five days later, while I was at work, there was {$280.00} transaction from the same XXXX on the same card I used previously. I caught this transaction that I did not authorize the same day it happened and called Bank of America to submit a dispute. I was informed I could not submit a dispute until the transaction was no longer pending. In the mean time, I called XXXX XXXX to see if I could figure out more information. I could not. I called Bank of America immediately when the charge was no longer pending to make a dispute. I was informed that because XXXX said my actual card was swiped that Bank of America could open an investigation, but that the charge would stay on my account. They refused to give me the benefit of the doubt during a very lengthy investigation period of 2-3 months. Meanwhile, they advised me to not pay they charge and let interest accrue and IF the dispute came back in my favor, they would excuse the charge and pay back the interest accrued. Lastly, I had to ask if I would get a new card because fraud was committed with my card ( this was not suggested by Bank of America even though I told them I had an unauthorized charge ) and I was informed to monitor my card, but that a new card was not necessary at that time. I felt this was misleading and poor advice and called back later to order a new card. It took 10 days to receive. The investigation is ongoing.
