Wells Fargo took {$10000.00} from my account with no due process or prior notification that this would occur. The debit on my accounts only had the name of a law firm I did not know and a phone number from a city I had not visited in over 10 years. After some investigation I found that Wells Fargo had taken my money due to a court order against another individual with the same name. I spoke with the lawyer listed on the debit, and he worked with the Wells Fargo lawyer to return my money. 
While I am glad to have my money back I am still troubled by the gross negligence displayed by the bank in taking the money out of my account without verifying any personal information beyond my name ( no SSN, no DoB, etc ). When I asked the bank for an explanation they offered none, then after originally agreeing to escalate the issue to their executive office they began an endless loop of transferring my call to other office that could not help. 
I was lucky to catch this transgression when I did, and even luckier that I was able to live for a short time without the funds they took, but that does not excuse the reckless behavior of Wells Fargo. I hereby ask the CFPB to investigate Wells Fargo in their lack of due diligence when paying debt collectors and prosecute the bank for any illegal activities that the Bureau uncovers.
