  • When Philip Poniz opened Box 105 at his local Wells Fargo, he discovered it was empty — and that he was totally unprotected by federal law.

  • A couple is accusing JPMorgan of drilling open their safe deposit boxes and selling $10 million of their jewelry after they failed to pay rent for the boxes.

  • I am missing items from my safe deposit box. The bank has stated that it is not at fault. What can I do?

    Banks use control systems to ensure that only authorized persons have access to safe deposit boxes. The goal is to allow only the safe deposit box renter to have access to and the ability to remove items from the box. A bank may defend itself against a claim of unauthorized access or missing items by showing that its controls were followed.

  • 50,000 boxes have been impacted by events in the past 3 years, affecting $1.2 billion in property

  • What happened to Sally Gravely’s former safe deposit box at Well Fargo’s Tanglewood branch? What was in it? Where are its contents?

    Wells Fargo Bank apparently doesn’t know the answers. They found the lock on Sally’s safe deposit box already had been drilled, and the box inside was empty. The bank told him there were no records.
