<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">I have a business dispute with the bank and my partner WMA who moved the account. The name of the business is Toscano Floors Design LLC. I am an officer of the corporation and my partner, closed out the account at Chase and opened one at Bank of America. He lied on the application, and now they aren't giving me access to the account. This is a business where all the transactions are done through debit or credit and they refuse to give me access even though I have a judicial order from a judge of the Supreme Court to get access. Chase complied and gave me access as they tried to lock me out as well. Once he found out he moved the account to Bank of America and they won't give me access to the account. I need you to call Bank of America's legal team. I have all the documents for them.

I had the number, and he took it and put it in his name and AT&amp;T refuses to put it back. It belonged to a pool of numbers that we use for employees and salespeople.

<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">I got hacked through T-Mobile and lost everything online. This happened on July 13, 2022. I have been back and forth with Microsoft and T-Mobile since then. I started noticing that I can't access my emails and my passwords were being changed, and 2-factor authenticators were being added. Weeks later I received a letter from T-Mobile saying my SIM card was being re-associated. I have 5 certified illnesses for the 9/11 World Trade Center program, and all my information was wiped out. It was 36 points of information that I lost, including 9/11, screenplays, cartoons, cancer stories for 11 years and notes, files, pictures, 22,000 emails, and all my interviews. Either they deleted it or I no longer have access to anything, as they were all associated with one email address. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">I recently had a check bounce for &#36;75, as I was getting billed for a subscription and didn't know, as I no longer have access to my email, and don't remember all the things that were on it. My previous attorney CB, told me last week that he could no longer do anything for me, and this was something that he was just learning about. He told me that I should go through arbitration. He had been helping me for the last 5 months, and wanted to resolve it before it went to arbitration, and we were working on numbers, but T-Mobile laughed at us. I wasn't in the meeting, it was just my lawyer and T-Mobile's lawyer, and I don't know what they said to my lawyer, but they did say something to him and he turned quickly. I am past the point of being mad, and I had 16 days to figure out what I was missing. I did interviews with NBC, Fox News, and others. I lost 25,000 email contacts that took me 20+ years to collect. I don't know anything about this process, but I have letters and emails, and I don't know what I can use from CB, so I don't get sued. </span></span>]]></description>

Physical damage was done to me as they threw me on the ground and I had multiple rib fractures and broken back. They treated the wound and took me to jail for 7 days and refused any other medical treatment. When I requested it over and over they sprayed me from head to toe with pepper gas. I was 58 years old at the time. I had a rescue inhaler in my hand that they gave me prior to them spraying me because they knew about my condition.
