Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – In the you cannot make this up
category, a certain client makes a deposit using a local Wells Fargo ATM
machine and hits the jackpot with the following statement from the ATM: “We are delaying the availability of the funds you have deposited because our
risk models indicate the following check(s) may be returned unpaid”
The client then goes online and contacts customer care. Like a true Porsche, within hours, Porsche
has the following response:
Dear customer Thank you for contacting Wells Fargo. My name is Porsche, and it is myn pleasure to assist you today. I understand your concern regarding the availability of funds that were recently deposited in your account. Availability of funds is determined at the time of deposit, at the Wells Fargo banking location where the deposit is made. In some cases the bank may allow you to withdraw some of the funds from your deposit. A hold may be placed on a deposit for one or more of the following reasons: - The dollar amount of the check being deposited- The length of time your account has been open- The frequency of overdrafts on the account- The number of returned deposited checks- Your ATM deposit has not been verified We also may consider the reliability of the maker of the deposited check as well as any other facts or circumstances that may cause us to doubt that a deposited check will be paid by the maker or institution on which it is drawn. Requests to remove holds on deposits must be completed by telephone or at a Wells Fargo banking location. I apologize for any inconvenience.
No problem, the customer visits the local Wells Fargo branch
where he is met by Mr, Kim. Mr. Kim
navigates through a number of computer screens
and says something to the effect: “The
check has not cleared, there is not much I can do”
The client now becoming a bit irate asks Mr. Kim: “Well what CAN you do” – Mr. Kim says:
“I cannot tell you what I am going to do, because if I tell you, that means it is a contract, and then I have to do what I told you I was going to do”- However, have you considered moving your other assets to Wells Fargo?"
– at that, the
client storms our of the Wells Fargo Branch.
He then goes online to tell Porsche to thank him (or her)
for his or her time-wasting suggestion.
This time, the response takes a bit longer. Porsche is no longer in the picture. Enter Amy's response as follows:
