Complaint: 22678174
I am rejecting this response because:Dear BBB,
I am rejecting Byline Banks response because their claim of having addressed my concerns is inaccurate. I have received no additional correspondence from Byline beyond the two responses I provided with my original complaint.
Byline states that the fraud protection act does not apply to business accounts. However, their actions are contradictory: in one instance, they approved and credited a disputed fraudulent charge, while in another, they denied liability for similar charges. Both disputes followed the exact same process as outlined by Byline, yet they were treated inconsistently.If Byline Bank is unable to address specifics due to their privacy policy, they must at least clarify what their policy is regarding fraud disputes on business accounts. Their response fails to explain this contradiction, nor does it address why one claim was approved and another denied.
A generic reply does not resolve this concern, and I respectfully request a proper explanation and resolution.Sincerely,
acked protection and had never seen this situation. Why does Byline allow disputes on business accounts if they are not protected? Why were earlier disputes resolved but not this one?I have clear documentation proving I never made the four Experience gift transactions: $1,500, $1,800, $1,500, and $900. Yet fraud wasnt flagged until the fifth transaction. Meanwhile, a $1,600 purchase at ***** was immediately flagged.Byline failed to protect me as a customer and has contradicted its handling of previous disputes. At minimum, other customers deserve a warning, and the $5,700 should be returned to me.

I was scammed out of $4,850. There was $5,000 deposited into my account which ******************** didnt even ensure was in my account before letting someone withdraw it. Said person withdrew $4,850 and then when the bank that they thought sent over $5,000 denied it and was removed as well from my account leaving it negative. This is now my fault. I was told I would not get any additional charges to this amount but got a bill in the mail with money due already. I have received no support from the bank. I do no recommend them as they are unreliable.Business Response

Complaint: 21446115
I'm rejecting g because of below REASONS:
I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to urgently inquire about the status of a payment that was purportedly attempted to be made today, March 27, 2024, on this matter.. while also providing an update on my intentions regarding a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
As conveyed to me by Baha Sales Dealer, they informed me that a payment was attempted to be made to credit the account in connection with our transaction. However, they have claimed to deny the payment, citing concerns of fraud now and their intention to pursue legal action. Which is even more confusing, especially if byline bank cleared the matter.
Given the critical nature of this information and its implications for our ongoing transaction, I kindly request prompt clarification on the following:
1. Confirmation of Payment Attempt: Can you unequivocally confirm whether Byline Bank initiated a payment attempt today, as indicated by the communication from Baha Sales Dealer?
2. Payment Status: If a payment attempt was made, I request clarification on the status of the transaction. Specifically, I need to know whether the payment was successfully processed and sent to the dealership's account.
3. Documentation: If available, please provide any documentation or confirmation of the payment attempt and its outcome to facilitate a swift resolution of this matter.
Furthermore, as there have been significant discrepancies and unresolved issues surrounding our transaction, I am proceeding with my intention to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against Baha Sales Dealer. This action is prompted by the dealership's failure to accept payment, citing concerns of fraud, and their stated intention to pursue legal action, which I perceive as undue delay and lack of cooperation.
I emphasize the urgency of this inquiry and kindly request an immediate response to address any uncertainties regarding the payment status.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at ************************* for any further clarification or information required.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Dear BBB ******* ***** ********************* appreciate the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed regarding my interaction with Byline Bank.
I acknowledge receipt of your communication dated April 8th, regarding the closure of the complaint and the categorization of the response as "Answered" (assumed). I would like to provide additional information to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
The complaint pertains to the handling of a security instrument sent to Byline Bank on March 6th, 2024. Despite the successful delivery and signing of the instrument, Byline Bank has failed to process it within the appropriate timeframe. Multiple attempts to follow up on the processing status have yielded no satisfactory response from Byline Bank representatives, including ******************************************************************* and Ms. ************************************** response to Byline Bank's assertion that they allegedly sent a certified mail letter describing their rejection, I must clarify that I have not received any such communication. It is essential to note that under the provisions of the ******** Uniform Commercial Code (810 ILCS 5), specifically Sections *****, *****, *****, and *****, the account associated with the security instrument is to be settled by setoff pursuant to the relevant codes. Despite any alleged rejection letter, Byline Bank's failure to return the instrument within the legal timeframe constitutes acceptance or setoff of the account, as outlined in the applicable ******** laws.
Therefore, it is evident that Byline Bank's actions constitute either acceptance or theft of the instrument, as the deadline for return has passed without resolution.
Legal certified and notarized affidavits and documents have been sent to Byline Bank, addressed to their CFO, Mr. ************************** in an effort to resolve the matter. However, there has been no satisfactory response or resolution from Byline Bank to date.
To facilitate direct communication for equitable resolution, please note my email contact: *************************.
I respectfully request that BBB reopens the complaint to ensure that the matter is thoroughly reviewed, and appropriate action is taken to address the issues raised.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. It is still frustrating that I had to file a complaint to get my money back. I called the bank several times and was always promised a call back with a solution which never came. Unsurprisingly, after filing my complaint, I got the money back in my account the next day.
Sincerely,
***************************x this issue and I keep getting the run around. Everyone tells me they will call me right back and I have yet to hear back from anyone. It has been 2 weeks now (since November 7) and I'm still out of my $500.Business Response

Complaint: 18233670
I am rejecting this response because:
I asked for them to tell me how they came to this conclusion and I was told that they don't disclose that information furthermore they do not reach out to you at all. When they finally called me back from the bank they just keep telling me its my loss and nothing can be done and they won't do another dispute which is ridiculous.
