Banks Mishandling Investigation of Unauthorized Card Transaction Disputes
Cardholders who report unauthorized transactions with clear indicators of identity theft (mismatched billing address, unfamiliar device, false demographic data) still struggle to get their bank to properly investigate and reverse the charges.
