What would you do?? About a minor's savings account....?

Question

Took my 13 y.o.daughter(D) to bank to open a savings acct for her, where I will be the custodian until she is 18, but her name is on the account. The teller says that my D already has identical savings acct. Custodian is HATEd family member (no contact with for years, do not even considered family) Teller tells me that this happened because person lied and said she was my D's grandmother. In PA u need a SS# number to open acct 4 minor. I gave this woman my D's SS# number when my D was a baby, so that could buy savings bonds from my grandfather for my D in his name. Was never authorized to use the SS# for any other purpose. Custodian needs to be @bank for withdraw even after she turns 18. D does not care about money, she put sufficient funds into new acct. How to have D name completely removed from acct? And what about lying and using her SS#? Bank will do nothing. NOTE: We have no will to contact this person and try to work it out. Impossible. She's done horrid things. HATE!

Answer 1

Your her parent If you say remove her name then they should have too.  If the teller won't ask to speak to someone higher up. If they still refuse go to the police and report this as fraud.
