Original Comment I'm very disappointed in Wells Fargo for Closing my grandfather free checking account without even given me notice. I don't think this was fair and it sure doesn't help when you are on a fixed income. I was told by several bankers that they could open up a new account for me, but that I would need a $500 deposit and then need a direct deposit of $1500+ each month, otherwise I would get a service charge. I know it only took one lady to stop prayer in the schools. I wonder how many of you readers have had Grandfather accounts closed without your knowledge. I don't think this is fair, especially being I'm on a fixed income and never have that amount of money coming into my account. It seems to me that Wells Fargo doesn't care about the people on a fixed income, only the ones who have lots of money to invest in their bank. I have spent several days trying to get my account reopened, but was told I need to come into the branch where it was opened. When you are ill and taking medical treatments, which prevents you from traveling, how in the world can you come into the branch if you are 30 hours away. I just think that is the most unfair thing Wells Fargo could ask of you. The account shouldn't have been close in the first place. As soon as I started telling some of my friends what had happen, several of them told me they would never bank with Wells Fargo, because they knew friends which had similar problems to have to them, since Wells Fargo had taken over Wachovia. This to me has to be changed. God is always watching out for the poor people, it's just the people with all the money, forget that God is the one keeping the records not them. I am still trying to get my account reopened and I think what Wells Fargo did was sneakie and very inconsiderate of a long time customer. That is not the way you treat loyal long time customers, it's like Wells Fargo is trying to cause you to lose everything that you own, without even caring. If I ever I had a lot of money, now I would think about putting it in another bank to invest elsewhere. I don't feel Wells Fargo really cares about their life long customers, only those who have lots of money. But as the saying goes, here today and gone tomorrow. We don't know what God has in store for us. I do wish I had more money, but times are hard and being ill, with no family make things even harder.
