Protecting Your Rights Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act
Denied a Payment or Transaction Due to an EFTA Violation? Get Compensation with Our Experienced Attorney
Electronic fund transfers are a part of everyday life, covering debit card payments, online transactions, and ATM withdrawals. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) protects you if something goes wrong, such as unauthorized transactions, billing errors, or failure by your bank to properly handle disputes. If you’ve been charged incorrectly or had money withdrawn without your permission, you may be entitled to compensation. Our experienced attorneys can help you assert your rights and hold financial institutions accountable.
Many people don’t realize they have legal protection when banks or financial institutions fail to investigate or fix these issues properly. Under the EFTA, you have the right to dispute unauthorized transactions, and if your bank doesn’t respond correctly or in time, they could be held legally responsible. Our team at Haseeb Legal is here to guide you through the process, help recover your lost funds, and ensure your financial rights are protected.
Common Errors in Electronic Fund Transfers
1. Unauthorized or Incorrect Transactions
- Unauthorized withdrawals or transfers from your bank account.
- Errors in the amount debited or credited during electronic payments.
- Delays in processing transactions or failed transfers.
- Failure of financial institutions to provide accurate and timely transaction information.
Case Example – “Unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfer Causes Financial Loss”
Our client relied on electronic payments for daily expenses when their bank, through an error, processed an unauthorized withdrawal. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, the funds were not returned promptly, causing significant financial hardship. Our experienced EFTA lawyers stepped in to hold the bank accountable and recover the lost money.
Your Rights Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA)
The EFTA provides strong legal protections for consumers. If something goes wrong like unauthorized withdrawals or banking errors, EFTA gives you clear rights and remedies:
- Report unauthorized transfers within 2 business days to limit your liability to $50.
- You have 60 days from your bank statement to report errors or unauthorized charges.
- Banks must investigate within 10 business days and fix any confirmed issues.
- If more time is needed, they must provisionally credit your account.
- You’re entitled to a written explanation of the results and access to related documents.
If your bank fails to investigate properly, you may be entitled to statutory damages, actual losses, and attorney’s fees. Haseeb Legal is here to help enforce those rights.
