The common banking practice of making a deposit turned into a $10,000 nightmare for a Bay Area man and his daughter. Their money disappeared.

Myron Hinrich of Petaluma helps support his daughter, Anne, while she studies film-making at USC.

"She's struggling in graduate school; she needed to make a rent payment," Hinrich said.

Anne was low on cash so Hinrich deposited a $10,000 check into Anne's account at Wells Fargo Bank. However, what happened after that came as a complete shock.

"They said the check was fraudulent, they canceled the account and they didn't want to see her again," Hinrich said.

Wells Fargo refused to give Anne the $10,000. Instead, the bank abruptly closed her account and told her to go away. The only explanation? The bank claimed the check was a fraud.

"I didn't know what to think, I didn't' know why they would think it's fraudulent," Hinrich said.

Indeed, it made no sense. The check had already been cashed by Wells Fargo the day it was written and the money had been taken out of Hinrich's account.

"It's the strangest thing I've ever seen, you couldn't find anybody to talk to," Hinrich said.

Wells Fargo would not even speak with Hinrich about what happened, citing privacy laws. The bank also would not speak with Anne, saying her account no longer existed.

"It was a Catch 22; I can't get the money because I don't have an account with them and my daughter can't get the money because they closed her account," Hinrich said.

is this possible to screw people like that?

wells fargo is a real bitch with their credit cards too. Impossible to dispute clearly fraudulent charges.

BJ · 03-06-2011, 07:53 AM

Smart move - easy money, right in the pocket

Nice try but that is total BS. It will take about 30 mintues to get the documents together to get your money back.

They got it back but nobody wants to read the rest of the article

The way Hinrich saw it, his money had been stolen. So he reported it to the federal comptroller of currency, which makes sure banks obey the law.

"That didn't work either; they accepted Wells Fargo's letter saying I didn't have an account with them therefore they couldn't help me," Hinrich said.

The federal agency closed the case. No one would listen.

"This is $10,000 we're talking here, so that's when I had the idea to call 7 On Your Side," Hinrich said.

7 On Your Side showed all the documents to Wells Fargo and requested the bank deliver a check to Hinrich's daughter in Los Angeles right away.

"She went into the bank and said she wasn't going to leave until she had the $10,000," Hinrich said.

Myron says his daughter sat in the bank in Los Angeles for two hours until finally the check was in her hand.

Wells Fargo says it only needed a letter of indemnity from Westamerica Bank stating the check was valid. Once Hinrich provided that letter, the bank returned the money to the family.

Wells Fargo did not explain why the check was deemed fraudulent in the first place and still cannot explain how it could take $10,000 out of Hinrich's account nearly a year ago, yet still question the validity of the check. The bank claimed it had been holding the money in a separate account all this time, which was news to Hinrich.

The comptroller of the currency declined to comment about its role in closing the case.

I have a few Wachovia accounts which are about to become Wells Fargo, you wouldn't believe all of the crappy new rules Wells Fargo is pushing.

Yeah, and the critical detail is that the bank employees think that they are god.

The bank could have called the other bank and fixed this in minutes.

I had to go to my bank and go through all kinds of nasty accusations until
I said, "just call the phone number printed on the check".
That ended the problem.

They are too fucking "high and mighty" to call on your behalf. They make their stupid
decisions and carve them into stone.

Once I withdrew $150 and the bank credited me with $180 instead.
I told them that was wrong and they didn't believe me.
I went into the bank with my laptop and went to online banking and
showed the manager that the simple math is wrong.
Then they fixed it.

They are stubborn jackasses even when you are trying to give them their money back.

I tried to open an account with Well's Fargo several years ago. I came in with about $20k in cash to deposit.

After several minutes they asked if I was related to Mary Brown. I come from a HUGE extended family, and there are zero Mary's in the clan. I told them no.

They apparently did not believe me and would not accept my cash.

HomerSimpson · 03-06-2011, 12:04 PM

fuckin' banks...

7 On your Side. Well Fargo made a move only when they thought they might lose an outlet for their bullshit feelgood commercials.

adultzone · 03-06-2011, 12:21 PM

Wells Fargo is fraudulent lol. Not the checks. Myron Hinrich has all documents that his checks was cleared out and it was debit in Myron Hinrich's account, the question is how would be the checks become fraudulent when it has been cash out already? LOL Funny, his money is in banks teller and manager.

Ive have seen issues with WF in the past as well...

I know exactly what you mean, and no people do not believe when I tell them I try to deposit a bank money order into my bank account and am told there will be a 9 day hold before the money order clears???? Who stupid do they think we are?

They are so broke for money they want to take your money order and hold it for over a week, and hope to make quick money off of your money before you get it?

Its really just that simple...in your face absolute con job smoke and mirrors

chaze · 03-06-2011, 02:51 PM

I remember when people would burn banks and vandalize them. I think we will start to see this again.

They are all corrupt and cheat you out of your hard earned money. They work with the IRS the Federal Reserve and conspire how to steal money everyday.
