Upon the review of my mothers checking account while preparing taxes, I discovered an unauthorized draft to her account (she is 83 years old) and discovered a charge for $399.00. This draft occurred on August 26, 2008 and it's undoubtedly too late to obtain a credit or reverse the draft. It is unknown just exactly how my mother account information was obtained, however there are probably several ways this could have happened. I am filing this complaint now in hopes that others can avoid the same thing happening to them.
Wells Fargo is one of those banks that charges for everything, so I don't expect them to make it easy to obtain compensation for the illegal draft. This was an electronic draft against her account.
