Wells Fargo Checking Accounts Reviews

Today, trying admittedly last minute to file my taxes they required my account number. When I went to look at my statements online I found I was locked out. Called Wells Fargo to get my account number but they don't give that out and wont be able to unlock my account until at least tomorrow, which will mean I'll have to file for an extension on my taxes when I was doing them technically on time. All for a fraud claim that was immediately withdrawn because there has been zero fraudulent activity on my account. I don't see any valid reason why I should be locked out of my account or why they can't tell me my account number. Their system has voice authentication as well as requiring me to give the last four of social. I proved who I am so there should be no reason I can't be allowed to know my own account number.
In January, my dad died. I went to submit a small estate affidavit and get remaining funds from his Wells Fargo bank acct. The banker helped me file a fraud claim- as my step dads son ZELLED himself several thousand...and paid off a vehicle that he stole- after my add was dead. It totaled $5200.
ANYHOW- I waited the 2 weeks on the fraud claim and called the WF office with the claim number. They refuse to chat with me. I have to go in to the branch. Why? They wont say. So I call the banker to find out and it takes 5 more days. Says they need more verification it is me. I already provided everything. I go in this morning- sick with my two young kids in tow. I am told they denied the claim. They says it was secure transactions. He took my dads lap top and cell phone so---duh. So I file an appeal and wait 2 more weeks.
I have terminal cancer. This is my dads money that was stolen. Police say it is civil. I am disgusted. I can provide the death certificate and printouts of the transactions. I am at a loss of what to do. :( I think folks should leave WF- but my dad didnt- and I told him years ago!!!!
