If your ex logged into your bank account, the problem initially here is not that she logged into your bank account but that you gave her the account log in and password when you should not have. If you did give this information to her, you may not qualify by your bank to have that money placed back into your account if your bank has this type of fraud account protection. The reason is the bank will think you authorized her to access your account. Now if you did not authorize her to access your account and you did not give her your account information, you will probably have no problem showing you did not access the account. The way you do this is get the exact time and day the amount was transferred, put the dispute in showing where you were at the time and day and that since she is your ex, there is no reason you would have done this. If you have not transferred before, show this, as well.
