:C I deposited 23,000 $ into a new account @ Washington Mutual..checking and savings. Cashiers checks..bank to bank..(Wells Fargo). I was told by the bank that $4,999 would be available immediately and the rest in seven days. After depositing an additional $1,500 I was told $100 would be available immediately. Instead..ahem..they held all funds for 14 days, until the 28th of December this year. And when I wrote a check against the funds on the 27th for less then the $4,999..they returned it and charged my account a $23 insufficient funds fee.
I was planning on moving my existing Union Bank of California account to Washington Mutual..you can imagine how I feel at this point. IMO - this is stealing money. >
Has anyone else had a similar experience with this particular "institution"?..when I spoke to my parents about this..they said they had had a similar experience.
I plan to file a complaint and write a letter to the local paper as well.
Thanks for any input...
