Needed to write a check of mom's account. Have no checks...usually not needed. I usually write checks for stuff out of my account and am reimbursed. NBD. But this had to be written off her account for tax purposes.

I call the bank yesterday to see about ordering some counter checks for pickup. They say we have to come into the branch. I ask if we can do in the drive thru so mom will not have to come into the bank. They say yes.

Today go to Wells Fargo drive thru. Now they say we have to come in. I say "she can't WALK" (indicating mom who is in car beside me) I ask if I can come in and teller or someone can come out and talk to mom. Nope. She has to take possession of the checks INSIDE the bank.

So I am forced to walk my 88 year old mother who is all hunched over into the bank over an icy parking lot/entry way. They have no wheel chair there for use (like everyone else in this down does) so it's a long walk to the teller line where they finally do pull up a chair.

Once inside and we get things going, they were very nice. I know there are rules, but usually in this town, people look the other way on stuff like this to accommodate people...especially long time customers...especially old people.

They are lucky she didn't fall on their property. Assholes..

Thanks Kato! I would seek POA , but seeing as there already many documents that provide for my one brother to have POA/be trustee, it would be a PITA to do at this point with mom having Alzheimers and all. Usually things run pretty smoothly but when they don't, it's a nightmare.

Happy 2014 Kato!
 
Checks?

Who the fukk still writes checks?

Fukkin richest most powerful nation on the planet is years behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to banking.

Maybe after the US adopts the metric system they will also do away with mag stripe bank/credit cards and also use electronic banking instead of paper.


:facepalm:
 
Wells' system is the best in the industry for automated mortgage information it is so fast and organized and right after your verify your information you get that 5 note chime that can be so soothing, I tried to find it for you but I couldn't. I'm not sure about their commercials sometimes, pretty tacky but the Flyers do play in their center. Instead of the chime I found you this commercial.

It was for a charitable contribution Plommer. They don't take credit cards..otherwise I would have used her debit card, as I usually do when I can.

And that is beside the point anyway.
 
I know some upper level people in their mortgage division too, very cool people they can drink you under the fucking table during non working hours as well.

I do hope this works out for you it sounds like BS. I support their mortgage ethics but know nothing about their banking practices but based on this they are 0 for 1 with me.

Talk about last minute tax planning. Down to the wire.

It wasn't last minute really. My brother is a tax accountant and believe me it was planned. Rather, the plan was not to give this year (some tax reason) but I went to bat for this organization and my brother relented.

If it were not down to the wire then I would not have had mom go in. I would have just had my brother mail a check. I think it was better for us to wait til 2014, but I think they would have wanted it on their 2013 books. No good deed goes unpunished.

I don't know. The teller was very nice. We should have just gone downtown I suppose where we have a relationship with some of the bankers. . We got it handled. I just think it could have been handled better. I would have been embarrassed being the gal who made that call seeing an old woman trying to make it into the bank like that.

I will say if you're on their mortgage system the automated system is top notch BUT if you need a live person you might get someone who sounds like they are living in a hut! Cami confirm but it does get a lot worse! Nationstar HFS!

Never had a mortgage with them. I did get thru to local bank people yesterday. They just gave me the wrong answer...but at least I could understand them.
