Rub salt in their wounds.
Wells Fargo uses a tactic where they try to catch you off guard by asking overly personal questions.
The brainwashed, robotic employees are especially prone to this, so it might be better to just switch branches; there are actually normal people working there who won't try to play games with you.👍
Absolutely.👍
The FTC is required to give you a written response, and tell Wells Fargo that you're waiting on the official resolution regarding the case.
You could even call the police directly to the branch since we're talking about theft here.
Making a scene at the bank actually works because banks hate it, and if you look at previous posts, you'll see they start changing their story once things get loud.
Claiming "the system" is blocking a customer is a lie; it's their most common excuse.
Why waste time and money on a lawyer when you can resolve it easier, even if it means getting down in the mud at their level?
Here.👍Are they making copies of my ID?

Those people advising you to just give up... they are the type who simply accept whatever fate throws at them, possessing a submissive mindset that leads them to bow down to anyone with more power...
Why not fight back just a little? Open an account at a different bank, and if necessary, go to court with everything you've got...

The issue isn't that the staff or the manager are being difficult—that doesn't make any sense. It's simply that the system won't allow it if the data required by the Freedom of Information Act hasn't been entered.
If she thinks she's right, her best bet is to find a solid lawyer and file a private lawsuit. But realistically, they'll close those accounts regardless once the data is updated. Besides, she'll need that exact same information just to open a checking account at any other bank down the road.👍

so quit spreading such nonsense ☕
