Wells Fargo Horror Story,

Got divorced, both of us signed the paperwork to close our joint checking acct... @ Wells Fargo.... I opened my own acct with only me on the signature card...

Several months later, she finds an old check book and goes to about ten different stores where she still lived and wrote obviously hot checks...

Ex is a banker and knows how they work.... she also kites money all the time.... so...

Wells Fargo bounces the checks back to the stores... they also put a NSF fee on the acct... that's closed... The stores add a hot check fee and resubmit the checks for pmt.... The bank bounces the check, and adds another NSF fee....stores add another hot check fee, and resubmit for pmt.... can you see where this going...

I resigned from a 20 year career and take my last check to the bank and ask for a balance with my new deposit... Couple thousand dollar check just deposited and my balance is less then 15 dollars... and I know I had over 4 grand before the deposit....

I went in, and questioned the branch manager, he made a few phone calls, and told me sorry, he had no idea... I had to walk out of there before I was sent to jail for assault....

I called a friend and through her got ahold of another friend....the President of Texas Wells Fargo's, executive asst... She investigated the case, and a Wells Fargo Branch in California (read computer) took the money out of my acct, based on a SS # search... They did a search and found a matching SS # on my new acct and sucked the money out to cover their loses... They were out several hundred dollars for NSF fees, and the check totals etc... when it was all added up, since some of the checks finally cleared by taking money from an active acct and putting it into a closed acct... I was out close to ten grand before it was over, in addition to going to the remaining stores and making good on the purchases, to stop the demonic cycle... At one store, a 25 dollar purchase she had made cost me several hundred dollars... I got my revenge in the end though... I was rid of her...

I closed my acct at Wells Fargo, and have banked with no one other than a Credit Union for everything I possibly could... Including my mortgage...
