False Accusation
My name is Tracy L Lashley and I have been with First Midwest Bank (now, of course, Old National Bank) for many years. Although illegal activity has been a rising concern over the last few years, I have never had any incidents with my account or my Husband’s and Father’s account. We all love the services that Old National provides.
On the morning of Monday, November 6, I received an alert on my cell phone that my account had gone under $50.00. I deliberately set that alert so I’ll know when I get low. On Saturday, I had $139.00 in my account. I checked my account and somehow an ATM withdrawal happened without my knowledge and without my CARD!!!! I waited until the closest branch to my home, 3737 West 147th in Midlothian, IL, opened and went in thinking I was going to get some help. To my surprise, the relationship banker was the total opposite. She practically accused me and even offended me, without concern, asking if I had shared my PIN number! Her name is Angie Escorcia and I told her I don’t know anything about a Shorewood Bank that she had found on my account or where that location is! She did not believe me and would not answer any general questions. I felt very accused and what’s terrible is that she intended to make me feel that way. I told her that I was saving that money because my Mother’s death date dinner was coming and even if I wasn’t, I’d never share my information with anyone. She gave me a new card and said it would take 10 days to investigate. Never once said to me I’m sorry, or thanks for coming in, or anything. The way she was intentional in not wanting to speak about it made me wonder if it was an inside job and how many more may be happening to people. How could someone use an ATM without my card??? I was appalled. I have never seen any employee at Old National behave so coldly to a customer.
I left the bank and had to be at a doctor’s appointment at 10:45am. At 10:36am as I was pulling up in Evergreen Park at the doctor, it happened again but was declined because I had a new card. After my appointment, I went back to the bank to show her on my phone that someone tried it again, and she didn’t want to see it or talk about it. I left in tears because there was no general concern that my money was gone. I don’t use the ATM that much and probably only two or three times within the last six months. She didn’t want to hear anything I had to say.
I am writing this letter today because I am actually ashamed to be a customer now and confused as to why Old National Bank would employ people who make your customers feel like dishonest trash. That’s how I felt. I would like to know what I can expect in the future and what will happen to my $100.00 that I don’t have.
I hope no other customers suffer this loss and treatment as I have. Training is definitely needed.
Sending this to the OCC and Attorney General as well.
