I have been told that I have 5 business days to provide provisional credit to the customer when a dispute involves a Visa debit card (used as a credit,signature based) rather than the 10 business days when used as a debit (pinned based).

A mother gives a son her ATM card and her PIN to use. The son and his wife steal the card a week later and over the weekend withdraw $951.00 from the mother's account. The brother, who is not on the account calls to report the card lost and the card is placed on hot card status. The CSR is a neighbor and insists we give her money back immediately. Does the bank have any basis for not returning the money when according to REG E it was reported within the time frame? Is there any way that we can use the fact that we were told that the mother had previously given the son her card and number? Where can I find more information concerning the liability of the bank in such cases?

If not, given today's fraud environment is light year's beyond what was envisioned when Reg E was enacted, should the regulations be updated to define some standard of cardholder liability for negligence?
