After depositing nearly $74000. into Wells Fargo accounts, two months later I noticed several thousand dollars missing from my savings account. Immediatly I reported to the closest bank branch to inform them . The personal banker assured me she would take care of everything. She opened a new account and ordered new ATM cards. Not once was I informed on the filing of claims to retreive my lost funds, nor did I receive any affidavits to sign.

My ATm card was not cancelled, it was open for 7 months after I reported the fraud. I noticed more money missing, unauthorized transfers, in bank withdraws, unauthorized ATM withdrawals, all that I did not do. Now I find out about filing a claim for the missing money and I am told that the 30 day time limit. I went to the branch where the banker who told me she would take care of everything worked in order to have proof that I reported fraud within the 30 day time limit, she cant remember. Sounds like a inside job to me.

Hopefully you reported the card(s)within 30 days of the first charge if not it should encompass subsequent charges or withdrawls. As a consumer you have the right to follow the chain of command to obtain resolution. Call the phone bank 1-800- (call 1800 info for the number). The first banker you informed the lost card information to, is accountable, to you the consumer and the bank. It is their job to guide you. They as professionals know the laws and are aware of the ease in which one can become a target of identity theft and many other types of fraud. It sounds to me like you know the bankers name? Use it when you call the phone bank. Giving the exact date and time you spoke with this banker will also help in obtaining the resolution you deserve and should have been afforded in the begining of this situation. The Banker has an obligation to guide customers through a very stringint process used to close the card or cards and filing a claim. The bank and the government have set forth guidelines to determine what steps need to take place next. The banker should ask questions regarding the validity of all current debits/activitey on your account(s). The guidelines, include "verbatim scripting" used to ensure correct measures are taken for the protection of the consumer as well as the bank. ("Meaning, this script must be read, 'not recited from memory, when a bank card is reported lost or stolen"). So with the failure of the banker to follow guidelines, you should be assisted by the bank through a claim filing process and retrieval of the funds taken out of your account. If the facts are reflective in your report, you will have no need for luck, you will need only to stand up for your rights, be persistant and be kind. All of us are more willing to help a person who is nice. You shall be the victor here.

Wells Fargo as a National Bank is under the supervision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Google for your nearest office and write the OCC a letter. Be clear and concise in your letter. Send your supporting documents along with names and dates of those who promised to help you.

Then sit back and wait. The OCC is the only thing I know that can trigger effective action from a big-we-could-care-less-about-you bank. They made Bank of America back up for me some time ago.
