Complaint / Review
Bank of the West - Oakland, CA
Lying to customers!

I've been a person of Lender of the West situated at 2127 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612, since 2004. The consideration was on my name-but never experienced any issue adding or cashing any check, including checks due in my experience and my spouse, for example tax return checks. The bank never needed us to start a join take into account this objective, that was among the explanations why I liked this lender. If perhaps they did need us to start a join take into account adding or cashing this sort of check, we'd not wait to start one, however they never did, therefore starting a join consideration there never entered our thoughts.

At first of my spouse dropped seriously sick which caused him dropping 100 pounds and nearly dropping his life. For 1.5 years he was battling for his existence, lying-in sleep (in clinic all of the period), based on feeding tube, medications and wonders to remain alive. Their desperate situation had compelled me to become the only decision-maker on anything. Which was why I turned a payee (as recommended with a Social-Service broker) whenever we requested SSDI.

The very first SSDI check (with my title like a payee) obtained in Nov and we transferred it in the same department of the Financial Institution of the West. The teller didn’t advise us that people had a need to start a join take into account that type of check and we experienced not a problem at-all since that time, till...

D May 10, teller Lan (who really was the main one convinced me to start a merchant account for the reason that department) declined to deposit exactly the same check (yes, we’re referring to deposit below, not money in). She stated we required a join take into account that type of check. Following a couple of minutes of fighting, we requested to consult with the Supervisor.

Hazim Elbgal, who based on his business-card was a Person Supervisor, turned up a couple of minutes later and advised us we couldn’t deposit the check until we start a join consideration that my spouse couldn’t entry (just how much feeling does it create?). Whenever we questioned why they let's adding that type of inspections all of this period, he repeatedly responded, “I don’t know”, that will be an irresponsible reaction considering these tellers were under his guidance. We wound up shutting the consideration and exposed a join consideration at another lender instead. Observe, if perhaps they performed good, we'd have exposed a join consideration together which criticism would not been released.

M On May 11, after consulting having a lawyer buddy of mine, we delivered a notice of criticism to Lender of the West challenging a reason of the unexpected change of plan on SSDI check’s approval (using the consideration holder’s title like a payee) and just why we were never previously educated.

L - 5 days later, May-16 at around 4:45PM, after delivering numerous faxes without any reaction, a girl called Kim Rodriguez quit a note (stating she'd look after it) along with a call-back quantity on our answering machine.

M 24 hours later, May 17, my partner delivered the phone call to obtain the telephone number Kim Rodriguez offered us was disconnected and never operating. He attempted twice using the same outcome.

M Friday, May 18, a girl called Maggie Teuysel (spelling mightn't be proper) who stated to become the actual Client Supervisor named me at my workplace. Her declaration whilst the actual Client Supervisor created me surprise: if she was the actual Client Supervisor, does which means that Hazim Elbgal was a one? Whichever she intended by actual (she certainly stressed this term), she served as, or even more reckless as Hazim Elbgal by informing me the next lies:

She stated my spouse never delivered their phone at-all (please reread the final section of page-1)

She stated that on April 1st, we were adding the SSDI check at their 2127 Broadway-Oakland department along with a teller called Denise served us. Throughout the deal, Maggie stated, teller Denise had educated us that it had been likely to function as the last time they permitted us to deposit the check and we ought to start a join consideration the next time.

After I told Maggie that people didn’t deposit the April’s SSDI check at Oakland department, she instantly fixed, “oh, I am talking about on March 1st.” This Really Is after I captured her lying, clumsily, insulting my intellect. Evidently she didn’t examine my documents before making this kind of rest. Becoming an investigator’s spouse for over 6 decades, I usually maintain documents of almost anything just for in the event. I came across this to become useful, especially in this instance.
