What is the name of your state? Utah
Today, I helped my father setup online access to his Well Fargo bank account. He found that he had multiple over withdraw fees starting back in December 2005 until now. He did not know he was even in the hole. He is a retired government employee and he receives his retirement using direct deposit on the 1st of every month. It seems that clear back in December he missed something while balancing his checkbook.
This would have been a simple matter if my father would have received any paper statements or any letters warning of an over withdrawal. He does not go, nor does he need to go to the bank. He knows how much he receives every month and uses checks and his debit card. I also use Wells Fargo and receive a paper statement for each account I have. When I called Wells Fargo today, they informed me that the address on the account was the correct house address, but since we live in a small area the USPS does not deliver to our homes, but forces us to use a P.O. Box.
It seems that Wells Fargo has been sending him monthly paper statements, and notices, and he has not received any of them because the post office refuses to look up the address! But this only occurs on occasion. I have received Amazon.com shipments to the house address just fine!
The over withdrawal fees are totaling over $450. The matter would have been cleared up in January at the latest if the statements would have been received. Can he make a small claims suit to the USPS for not delivering these notices?
Some other people in the community have the problem of having their mail sent back or just 'disappear' since they are not using PO Box addesses. Other people have no problem. The postmaster either chooses who gets to receive their mail or there is something else seriously wrong.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
