Complaint #1707656 submitted on 12/19/2015 relating to Valley National Bank. Complaint relates to Bank account or service Savings account - Account opening, closing, or management .
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Saturday 19th December 2015.
My mother has XXXX and is XXXX years old making it difficult for her to get around when she is not hospitalized. A few years back we went to a branch and had my name added to her passbook savings account in case of situations like this. I had no reason to go since then, until now, but when I went, the bank had mixed someone else 's information with my name on the account and it would be difficult to straighten it out without my mother. In the interim we went and had power of attorney documents notarized for me. However when I went to the bank, they stated they still need to investigate since my information did not match and eventually when my mom was permitted to travel ( she is currently in a XXXX ) by the doctor, we went to the branch near the XXXX, there they suggested she come in while she was out. The lady there said she would simply delete the incorrect information on the account for me. When she did this she put my correct information in and the " XXXX '' they use for new accounts rejected me because of low score, but they still will not honor the power of attorney document. This is a legal document and allows me to represent my mother and I see no reason why they can not abide by this.
