in 1998 deposited XXXX $ in a XXXX XXXX XXXX IRA also in my daughter 's account for XXXX $ My children XXXX went to college -- i supported themwe did n't use this IRA. I Moved XXXX and when i returned home -- had time to go through my records and remember i filed it but did not get a refund. XXXX my children are adults in their XXXX 's. I contacted XXXX Securities many times but they could n't located my records ( as you can see my notes on the paper work, I was transfer to many departments who basically said they could find it -- i should contact the local who set it. so i did some research but the agent no longer worked at any of the offices here in XXXX XXXX but i tracked down agent who agreed to help me find this account but she too could not figure out what happened to my funds because i had a statement -- but she did not give she continued to research and realized that XXXX had sold some of accounts/money market funds ( i do n't the correct term and since the account numbers were not in there records it had be XXXX of the accounts that sold XXXX Right away i contacted Wells Fargo -- an confirmed that yes they buy some of the fund things from XXXX but since my account was so old- they would have to do research and that would cost. The fee they wanted to charge me to do it was unreasonable and almost more that the funds i had in my small IRA. The conversation was disturbing that i decided to wait and just walk in to a Wells Fargo to ask for help but i was frustrated and not sure what to do because after agent tracked it down or at least could tell by my account that it was an old XXXX number.
