Rahman Legal Fights for the Rights of Banking Consumers in Massachusetts
- Have you discovered unauthorized withdrawals from your bank account?
- Has your bank failed to properly investigate your fraud claim?
- Has your bank, credit union, or payment app refused to refund unauthorized electronic transactions?
- Has your debit card, or an app like Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal, been used without your permission?
- Have you been held responsible for electronic transfers you didn’t authorize?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we may be able to help. Discovering unauthorized activity in your bank account can be frightening and financially devastating. We can help Massachusetts consumers fight electronic banking fraud.
Time matters. To keep the full protection of federal law, you generally need to report an unauthorized transfer to your bank or payment app within 60 days after it sends the statement that first shows the transfer. If your debit card or PIN was lost or stolen, telling your bank within two business days of discovering the loss can further limit what you owe.
If someone tricked you into sharing your login or card information and then took the money themselves, the law generally still treats that as unauthorized. But if you were tricked into sending the money yourself, or the money left your account by wire transfer, different rules apply. Contact us anyway, and we will tell you whether we can help.
When you contact Rahman Legal, we will discuss your matter and come up with strategies that are tailored to your situation.

Fighting Electronic Banking Fraud: Your Rights as a Consumer
If you have been a victim of unauthorized electronic fund transfers, it is important to know that you have strong rights as a consumer under federal law. Sometimes banks try to hold you responsible for fraudulent transactions that you did not authorize. Other times banks fail to properly investigate disputed charges and refuse to restore stolen funds. Such conduct may violate the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA). If it does, the bank may have to pay your economic losses, additional damages, and legal fees.
