Bank customers report unexpected account freezes

A growing number of bank customers are having their accounts shut down without much warning or explanation, leaving them without access to their money. On Your Side's Kristine Lazar spoke with a local man whose tweet about the experience went viral last week.

    I had my account closed at a credit union, months later they said it was a mistake, but only after one of their employees verbally accosted me on social media and said she would have her friends come after me and for being an old white guy, but then the credit union sponsored a competing company than the one I own. Luckily I almost never used that account.

    Locking an account and give no explanation to the customer as to why he doesn’t have access to his OWN money is ridiculous and it should be against the law. It’s time these financial institutions are held accountable for shady things like this 😡 It took this guy to on social media and go viral, get the news media’s attention and this is the only reason why his account was released, otherwise he would still be out there without his money…😡😡😡

Sorry, but it is entirely reasonable to shut down an account possibly related to fraud while they are doing an investigation. Banks are doing what they are required to do by law

    His account was getting suspicious notifications. It's absolutely positive for the account to be temporarily closed. Hackers are ingenious today. Had his account been hacked and he lost his money he'd be on TV whining why the bank didn't close his account if they saw suspicious activity going on. No winning with whiners like this man. I have smaller amounts in two other banks just in case. Maybe if this man would stop playing on line so much and prepare for a catastrophe he'd not be in this situation.

    I encountered the same issue with Bank of America approximately 30 years ago. My girlfriend at the time had her account frozen and Bank of America would not let her withdraw a single penny. I got involved in this immediately because, well I have to be honest, I just didn't want Her moving into my place if the bank continued to refuse to help. My personal experience with Bank of America at the time is that I was dealing with the Gustapo or with the KGB. They absolutely refused to budge, and they could give a s*** about her plight. This was going to go down the way they wanted it to go down and nothing else. Eventually her money was released but after some major consternation. I am sorry to see that nothing has changed with Bank of America they are still the same scumbags they have always been. And please anchor lady, stop giving these corporations an excuse to drop the ball. The next victim might be you.

    Eventually they will force everyone to go digital (hand writing on the wall). Then every month Americans should start a new hobby at the end of every month, printing out a copy of their monthly statements to be put in a legal envelope, each year put in a legal box with all printed out paid state, local & federal tax documents. Of course, each paper doc is in a monthly “digital” folder inside an annual zip file on a hard drive and on a flash drive. I know, it sounds paranoid, but it’s prudent to have legal proof of everything and if you want, you can always disclose you too are also recording all calls for compliance and quality control of your accounts, and keep multiple location records of those, too. After all, if you ever run afoul of a litigious dark triad entity, you will need to protect yourself to the highest level imaginable.🤑

    I haven’t trusted one bank with all my funds ever since I worked in personnel at NationsBank, the pre merger bank to BofA. I learned a lot there and that’s also why I don’t use a debit card. I knew where it would lead. So keep enough funds to pay bills in a few different accounts and hope when they do this kind of thing, it’s just one bank at a time. We need legislation to stop this bank behavior, though, obviously, to expect banks to act with ethical behavior at all times. I also leave minimal funds in each account. It’s more complicated, but until we can trust corporations to act with the most basic decent human behavior, that’s life for the Nobodies. ESG but no ethics. What kind world are you all creating with this fake virtue? This kind. The kind where the masses get screwed daily and talking heads act like it’s ok.

    Exactly good advice- Money in 3 different banks is much better Never over 9k in any account. Hold your own cash or hold it in gold bullion.

    Bank in the small banks arena. I never set up auto debit to anything. I require paper statements on everything. A debit is simply a digital check, so only use it where there would not be a dispute of merchandise you take into your possession. Understand all banking and commerce law, like you get tested on it every six months, and understand which entities are covered by federal and state banking regulations. Credit cards are ok, but since they all went to Delaware, Wyoming & South Dakota for a reason, make sure you understand your rights under the issuing state. Helps to be meticulous when it comes to documents and banking law and procedures inside the U.S. government agencies, and understand how oversight inside them is initiated. Of course, you’ll pretty much have to be me, or someone like me, who can literally move a mountain, say like the Veterans Administration that is not doing it’s due diligence. That was fun!

    I also worked at NationsBank Banc of America Securities in 1999 and the corruption from middle level associates that I observed acting in "power cliques" and bullying was so corrupted that I could only imagine what information they have access to. They need to be globally exposed. We are a global world now.

    I got mine shut down about half an year ago. I was in the phone for almost 2 hours until they passed me to this guy that talked super fancy.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 telling me that there was fraud in my account. But there was no fraud. If people send money to your account you’re not making them they’re just sending that cause they pay you. Ever since they send me all my money back, but it took a lot of time. Then I reopen the bank with them so they could send me another $70 out of nowhere with an apology note.

    I can understand the banks having to comply with security laws, but as a victim of these bank account closures and freezes (on multiple occasions) what pisses me off is that they refuse to communicate with you once they freeze your funds. Freezing accounts is one thing, but how the hell can you work with the bank to resolve the issue when they will absolutely NOT tell you why it is frozen or how to get it unfrozen.

    BOA can't be trusted. I've heard that 30 branches are closing. In 2019, when I still had a landline, I received a phone call with the caller ID showing BOA. This person wanted information about all my credit cards and bank accounts. I hung up! Then I called BOA and asked if they were the one who called me. They said no! I asked how then it was possible for the caller ID to show their name. I was told that sometimes people in the bank use their phones to commit fraud. Go figure!!!

    Run on a bank a good reason to freeze up some large accounts. Credit Unions are usually local, so actually how much are finances protected by the FDIC. Bottom-line & the truth: Customers usually get scammed most by the phone or internet. Not the banks fault you take your nest-egg to a casino.
