I had a similar situation with the BofA debit card. Our account was opened jsut to transfer money to our kids since they have campus accounts with BofA. I have never used that debit card since the day it was activated (two years ago), and suddenly charges appeared. They were from the DMV of NJ for fines. We called the bank, they destroy our cards and sent news ones; they cover the chargers and made the refunds. I contacted the NJDMV and no answer back; there were three certified letters (one directly to Trenton), and still no answer. One lady told us that they are leading with ATM/debit cards fraud since their system for paying fines is online, and they can’t track every single case. The bank was the one has lost, the delinquent paid his/her fines with other people money, DVMNJ got his payment and doesn’t care if it was illegal, and we are safe for now (if somebody can make duplicates of a card never has left home, we are not safe at all).
