I am trustee for my mother 's insurance trust account. I have a Wells Fargo checking account XXXX that I use XXXX a year to pay the premium for the insurance policy set up in this trust.. I have never had a debit card for this account. I keep over {$1500.00} in the account so that fees will not be charged. Once a year I make XXXX large deposit and write XXXX large check. 
I had a balance of {$2000.00} in the account after the check was written in XX/XX/XXXX for that year 's premium. The bank does not mail statements to me nor do I access the account online. On XXXX XXXX, as I was preparing to make a deposit and write a check, I discovered that the balance had dwindled to almost nothing. I immediately contacted bank officials, met with a bank official at my local branch bank and filed Claim # XXXX requesting full restitution of the balance of {$2000.00} that was in the account.. Somehow someone had accessed the card number..XXXX assigned to this account and since XX/XX/XXXX was using the card number to make automatic payments to XXXX XXXX. All of these charges were coming out of my checking account. Of course I expected either Wells Fargo or XXXX XXXX or both to reimburse the money that was stolen from my account. Bottom line, Wells Fargo is responsible as far as I am concerned. Banks are responsible for having adequate security systems so that clients ' money is not stolen while it is in the bank. Banks should not expect clients to be responsible for poor security when the client has done nothing to cause a security breach. That is the bank 's responsibility. 
However, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Senior Vice President of Claims Assistance Center of Wells Fargo, wrote a letter to me refusing to pay the entire amount stolen from the account - he agreed to pay {$1000.00}, which he said was the amount charged in the 60 days prior to my complaint - for XXXX and XXXX. He claims that I should have been monitoring the account constantly and should have reported the discrepancy within 60 days. Because {$2000.00} was stolen, then {$2000.00} should be returned by Wells Fargo. They owe me the other {$1000.00} plus monthly service fees that they have charged due to a less than {$1500.00} balance. XXXX XXXX letter stated that they had removed any service fees, but that had not been done as of XX/XX/XXXX. Of course because of their refusal to replace the stolen money, the account balance is below {$1500.00} although it should be {$2000.00}. Surely they will not charge me service fees because they have refused to bring my account balance up to what it should be..
