Q. How can I get a bank to give me back my money after I been in a identity theft

December 16, 2024

A: You should immediately dispute the issue with the bank (and preferably in writing). You'll likely also want to complete a police report to give to the bank to verify the identity theft and respond accordingly if the bank asks for any follow up information from you. Keep track of everything on your end and if they don't refund the money, contact a consumer protection attorney. You can contact an attorney immediately but the most important thing is to dispute any fraudulent charges immediately with your bank. They will need to subsequently complete an investigation regarding the charges.

Q. Geico added a "undisclosed driver" to my policy despite me not knowing this person and increased my insurance premium.

December 10, 2024

A: I would ask Geico what consumer report that information came from and then contact the company to get a copy of that report. Sometimes insurance companies get this information from Lexis Nexis but could be somewhere else. The CFPB has a list of some consumer reporting agencies: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/credit-reports-and-scores/consumer-reporting-companies/companies-list/#:~:text=The%20list%20includes%20the%20three%20nationwide%20consumer%20reporting,This%20list%20is%20current%20as%20of%20January%202024.
