From the date of the notice of error.

"I lost my card" puts liability from that date on, on you.

"Hey, I now see my money is gone." is the date you'd start an investigation if you didn't see this on your own before.

These are 9½ very important words.
The bank's duty to start an investigation under §205.11 begins when the consumer questions a transaction. If the bank notices an apparently unauthorized transaction itself and takes steps to correct it, the provisions of §205.11 do not apply. For instance, there's no provisional credit requirement, and the "case" would not have to be "closed" within 10 days. Of course, good customer service calls for the bank to be efficient in its handling of the problem, and to notify the customer of the correction ASAP, if for no other reason than to avoid having the customer assert the error himself (triggering §205.11).
