Q: Unauthorized charges on my debit card and banks fraud department says they aren't fraudulent, but I didn't make them.

The returned the provisional credits and have not been able to provide me with documentation that shows I made those purchases. I get a letter stating that my card and pin were used...I filed a police report but after refiling and reappealing I am stuck with almost 1000 in these charges.
