Legal Question in Banking Law in Iowa

How can a deposit be made, and less than a second later be debited to another bank in another state that was unauthorized by me? My bank is Liberty Bank in Iowa where my deposits were made every friday (unemployment benefits) on Oct 9th, 2009 two deposits were entered and then a debit for more than was deposited, bank information line, bank tellers (at both banks and Ia workforce developement cust serv reps) agree deposits were made and that my bank in North Carolina SunTrust was where the money was somehow withdrawn through their atm. NC SunTrust rolled their cameras and there was no one standing at the atm at 06:59am that morning. I filed a dispute with Liberty Iowa and they closed it because they needed the receipt of this transaction from SunTrust, and Suntrust declined because there is NO transaction that took place, no record. How can my money disappear, I lost my apt and almost my phone because of this. Can/Will someone, anyone help me figure this out please. My cell is 515-447-2419. Thank you Brenda Lee

It sounds like you've been a victim of bank fraud. It's interstate which means it's federal. I suggest you escalate this dispute to the attorney general's office.
