This submittal is associated with complaint # XXXX in that this is the bank my check was written against. I had made a mistake in writing a check ( # XXXX ) to the assisted care facility for my mother 's care. The figure amount was {$2000.00}, however, the written amount was " XXXX ''. Wells Fargo Bank credited my account for the abovementioned amount. When they received the actual check the discrepancy between the figure amount and the written amount should have raised a " Red Flag '' as to what is the correct amount to credit my account. Previous checks have been written against my account for the figure amount ( {$2000.00}, XXXX thru XXXX ). When I questioned the bank 's Branch Representative of why this check was not denied. I was informed that they go by the written amount and not the figure. This I believe to be improper business practice because it might render a customer account in an overdraft situation.
