The 2/11/2001 statement by Lynette's CPA friend

February 11, 2002
Dear Lynette,
Thanks for sharing your Wells Fargo mortgage file.
Looking through your records, I am surprised and
disappointed that a large, supposedly mature institution
like Wells Fargo could contend you have not honored
your mortgage obligations. In fact, you have documented
evidence that you paid $3,000 more than you owed during
the first eight months of 2001.
Wells Fargo's own records appear to be very confusing
and disturbingly incomplete. In many cases the
bank's records reflect only part of the money you actually
paid. As an old CPA, I must wonder what happened
to the rest of it. Were there bank errors? Has
someone at the bank misappropriated the funds? How
can a bank not account for every penny? Where
are the internal controls?
Rather than getting lost in those Wells Fargo numbers,
I have focused on your own clear, documented receipts.
The following table lists every documented payment
(exhibits attached), during the eight months January
through August 2001. During that period you can
document payments totalling $3,318 more than was required.
Note that I did not include the additional $3,000
cash payment for which you regrettably lost the receipt.
I hope this analysis clarifies the confusing Wells
Fargo payments. I would like to think that Wells Fargo
will behave responsibly and rectify their erroneous
treatment of your family.
