This doesn’t pass the smell test. The people had 2.1 million disappear. Ok, that’s a banking error but one call to the manager from a millionaire depositor should have, as you said, cleared it up within hours. Someone with a few hundred, yeah, they would be ignored.
How the heck is playing less PlayStation going to help the financial situation?
One would think they had other cash stashed away under the mattress or some other means to make ends meet.
They had no friends or family to help out? Really? They had to rely on the kindness of strangers like the homeless shelter and going on the dole and putting the kids on free school lunches? NO WAY. I’m not buying this for a minute.
I agree with you 100%....Sounds like they “suffered”...BS
The bank is showing an over draw for an impossible amount. What were they suppose to have done, taken it out at an ATM?
Since they are not millionaire then the bank has no motivation to move quickly to fix their mistake.
And they probably do not have much money stashed in their mattress aside from loose change and some of that they already had to hand over to the bank for an overdraft that never could have happened.
Why do you feel competent to post your blather when it’s obvious you didn’t even get through the title?
They aren’t rich, and they didn’t have 2.1 million. The bank debited each of their 3 accounts by $700K = 2.1 million for unknown reasons.
The bank has a problem, internal fraud or external hacking. But in the meantime, they haven’t fixed the families accounts or unfrozen their actual funds and Dad had been paid his monthly salary at the beginning of the month so it’s tied up too.
I’d have been filing complaints with the regulators after 24 hours.
