Back in August 2007, I had two valid Money Gram Money Orders that I deposited on a Friday for $2000. Over the weekend my account dipped below $2000 after a weekend camping trip. (No access to phone signal out in the NW Woods. )

So when I checked my account on Monday via Phone Banking, I was on the phone with a bank teller and in the middle of this my account was 'frozen' due to security being suspicious of 'fraudulent activity'.

When I was transferred to security I was told that they were not able to verify funds, my account was frozen, they were holding my money and if I didnt clear up the issue Wells Fargo would press criminal charges against me. AND KEEP MY MONEY! And they indicated that they werent responsible for their computers not working, IT WAS MY FAULT.

Wow! Nice! I had no gas, no money, and all my money was tied up because their computers didnt synch properly with Money Gram.

Then after I raised holy hell with the Money Order place, they got on the phone and it still took Hell's Fargo 72 hours to reinstate my funds.

And apparently this is all legal under Wa State law(effing lobbyists). They could have waited 5 days and it all would have been legal....

Be very careful with who you bank with... Well's Fargo gets a big "thumbs down" from me.]]>Oct 5th 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/

When I went to the bank and questioned the charge I was told that the charge was an incentive to get me to use the card more. They make this charge to all their customers who have a credit card that is not used at least twelve times per year. If you have a W F account you better check your statements closely every month.
When I threatened to close all accounts and demanded cash immediately they agreed to reverse the charge. I got my $ 25 back.
Guess what, the next year they charged me again. Again I got it back after a confrontation.
Want to guess where I bank now? It is NOT at Wells Fargo. ]]>Oct 5th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/Oct 5th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/05/woman-reports-illegal-27k-deposit-account-is-closed-for-her-tr/]]>Oct 7th 2009 3:15PM
