Customer Claims Wells Fargo Refuses to Reimburse Stolen Funds
A man in Atlanta, Georgia is accusing Wells Fargo of refusing to take responsibility for an unauthorized withdrawal of $2,000 from his account. Luther Tarwick says that someone illegally accessed his Wells Fargo account and drained $1,960. Tarwick claims that he received notifications from the bank 24 hours prior, alerting him to fraudulent transactions on his account. He believes that the bank’s surveillance system can verify if it was him who made the withdrawal, as the money was taken from an ATM. Despite his efforts to recover the funds, Wells Fargo denied his claim initially but is now investigating the situation after media involvement.

This incident with Tarwick is not an isolated case. In November, a family also experienced a dispute with Wells Fargo after $14,000 was transferred from their account without authorization. The money was reportedly used to purchase a car through a Mercedez Benz Financial Services account. Despite submitting the necessary paperwork, the family’s claim was denied by Wells Fargo.
