I filed a complaint yesterday about this company not contacting me after several phone calls and filing the company's contact form several times. Yesterday I contacted the consumer advocate email and got a response back this morning. I do not know if that is just because I told them I filed a BBB complaint or not but they have contacted back by phone message and email stating they are very busy due to tax season. They stated they will credit back one of the custodial fees charged and forwarded me information for ways I can invest. Thank you for all you do in looking out for consumers.
Sincerely,

We are concerned about the problem ************** is having with his check. During December and January, we were moving our banking relationship to a new institution. **************' check was drawn on the old institution and the bank account was deactivated before he presented his check for payment.
On 1/17/2024, ******************* called the number listed and got a recording for ***** and Son. He left a message introducing himself and asking them to call him back to discuss the situation.
No response was received from the message left. We decided to send letter to the address of record for *************************** explaining transfer requirements for transfer on death (***) recipient to take ownership of bond directly. If she is not deceased, it will let her know that someone is attempting to take possession fraudulently.

CU2 '0001651120 ***** '***************************** *** ***************************** ' 11/24/2023Once all the details are cleared up, a new check will be issued and the amount of any penalties incurred will also be refunded.
