Liberty Bank contacted ME (again they contacted ME) that there might be some fraudulent charges on our debit card. We checked and there were totaling about $160. One was for a raffle for cookware another from a gym membership and another for a VPN account. The next day we went to the bank and cancelled the card and got a replacement. They bank could not do anything with the transactions at the time because they were "Pending" We left the next day for vacation and returned a week later and went to the bank to fill out the fraudulent claim paperwork. Approximately 10 days later we received letters saying they were valid transactions. We then called Liberty and they said they would send us the docs involved in them calling valid transactions. Never got them. Called again and basically told them "why would come to bank the next day, cancel my card, get a new one, then the same day we get back from vacation go to the bank to fill out paperwork. For my health? So Liberty Bank is relying on some fraudulent data they got instead of an life long customer. Unfortunately Liberty is the only bank in my town and if there was one called Joe's Bank or Not safe Bank I would pull my accounts in a minute. All the good this bank fid for me over the past 50 years went away when they believe some fraudulent person and not a life long customer. Stay Away if you want to keep your money safe.

It is a nightmare to dispute an item. You need to go to a branch to put in every dispute. They don't follow protocal regarding the dispute process. I put a dispute in they did not bother to receive the dispute form and documentation to actually work on my dispute. They simply called the merchant and that is it. I was not notified that my dispute was being worked on and I thought it was not worked on since I had not submitted the dispute form. And then when I submitted the dispute form, they told me that was claim was already denied and my claim closed. They did not even notify me about the status of my claim and that my claim was denied. Don't expect to get your money back if you place a dispute. I ordered something and never got the item. The merchant told me the item was shipped and it was never shipped. I provided the documentation verifying that I never received the item, gave them the tracking number and they said there was nothing they could do and just to deal with the merchant which I contacted the merchant by phone and they don't pick up the phone and they don't reply to emails either. So, I paid $147 and I never received the item and Liberty Bank is saying there is nothing they can do. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WILL SWITCH BANK.
