Consumer Narrative
In XXXX I went into the bank to withdraw {$1200.00} from my business account that had roughly {$1400.00}. I used my debit card with the teller, punched in my pin and he gave me the {$1200.00}. A few hours later the teller calls me and says that I need to return the {$1200.00} since a charge went through and he can no longer put the transaction through. I told him I couldn't bring it back since it was used. The teller called again and I explained again that I couldn't bring the {$1200.00} back. He took the money from my personal account without my permission along with the funds from a joint account that I hold with my husband who's XXXX check gets deposited in. When I saw what happened to the accounts I called the bank back and spoke with the teller and he pretty much called me a thief for him not doing his job. He took it upon himself to steal money from me and my husband to cover himself. I was forced to cancel a sick appointment since I did not have the funds to pay for it. It wasn't until the next day that the funds were returned to the correct account. I have spoken with the bank and I don't think they are taking it very seriously. I am not sure if this is even the correct way to go about it. I do need some help in trying to get this figured out.
