Banks Closing Unauthorized Transaction Claims Without Explanation or Appeal

Consumers who file unauthorized transaction claims with their banks find the claims summarily closed with no reason given and no path to reopen or appeal. Internal error in the original claim submission is used to permanently bar reconsideration. The absence of a transparent claims adjudication process leaves consumers liable for charges they did not make.
