Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Subissue: Can't close your account
Company: BANK OF THE WEST
Complaint: My husband and I signed account closure paperwork for our savings and checking accounts with the bank on XX/XX/XXXX and withdrew our funds to a XXXX balance. The bank allowed a fraudulent charge to our checking account of {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and tacked on various overdraft fees and refused to close the account as it was now in a negative balance. Note that they also refused to close our savings account even though no charges were made to that account. After negotiating with the bank and filing a fraud claim all charges were reversed by XX/XX/XXXX and we requested the XXXX branch manager on both XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to close the accounts at that time. Not only have they not been closed, a fee was applied XX/XX/XXXX and a further overdraft fee was applied XX/XX/XXXX. Despite a third request to the bank branch to close the accounts on XXXX our accounts remain open as of XX/XX/XXXX. This includes the savings account which has been at a XXXX balance since XXXX with multiple requests to close it.

Company: BANK OF THE WEST
Complaint: on XXXX I deposited a check into my business account. No hold was placed for this deposit. Later same day deposited another check into another business account, from same check account and was told hold would be placed. Later that day was told a hold would also be placed on original check deposit of {$1500.00} because bank said had information check would return form issuing bank. This was after deposit made several hours before with no hold. I then provided proof of funds to bank manager XXXX XXXX. He said would release funds on XXXX.On XXXX check still on hold. I then provided copy of front and back of check showing it cleared my account on bank letter head from issuing bank. XXXX XXXX from Bank of the West Said would not release hold. On XXXX sent proof funds and copy again of check on Bank letter head showing it cleared, no reply. On XXXX called Bank manager XXXX XXXX, said he could not release because back office had inside information about my account???. He also said proof funds and cleared check would not work. I then put him on three way call with issuing bank and they verified funds cleared on XXXX. Mr. XXXX then told issuing bank must send letter on their letterhead providing statement funds cleared. Issuing bank also told XXXX XXXX Manager of Bank of the West that TFCU does not verify checks via phone and does no know How Bank of the West got their information. So after four business days and three verifications on bank letter head proofs of funds where good and conference call. Bank released funds and and charged me retuned check fees and caused my tax payments to bounce knowing my funds where good from the very start. I feel I was charged fees when bank is at fault and valid verifications of funds where provided .I also feel i was discriminated against on personal level. I had to go beyond standard banking practice to provide proof of funds to get a check hold released. Bank of The West put my business at risk by not being able to make tax payments. They further had more than enough documentation x 3 showing funds are good and cleared. This is not the first time the have done this to me. It not standard bank practice to provide three separate verifications on bank letter head for proof of funds and payment.Not counting all the time, stress energy to be put into this
