Fraud and unauthorized - Reg E

Answered by: 

Question: 
What is the difference between unauthorized vs fraud? To clarify I do not mean fraud but other consumer complaints. - Thanks!
Answer: 

I’m not 100% sure I understand the question since you added the clarification, but I’ll give this a shot. Fraud is an unauthorized transfer, but not all unauthorized is fraud. As to “complaints” the consumer may complain they were dissatisfied with the product or service – that doesn’t matter to Reg E. “E” is concerned as to whether or not the transfer was authorized, not that the consumer was happy with it.
