Sorry, but perhaps you’re being a bit too nice to the bank here. It is a bit of a rant, and again, sorry if im sounding preachy….. sometimes hearing this sort of thing just bugs me.
You asked: is something going on?
Yeah, something is definitely wrong.
I mean, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?? It’s YOUR money. Not theirs. You aren’t asking for a loan, or an outrageous sum of cash, you simply want YOUR money back NOW. Period.10K in cash is not alot for a bank to have. I’ve bought used cars. 3k, 7k. Cash transactions, never a blink of an eye from the teller. ID, confirm signature, count it out, here ya go.
Personally, I would have started to escalate, informing them quite sternly that them not giving me MY money is unacceptable. “Then exactly how much of MY money do YOU want to give me?” I’d take that, then ask for a cashier’s check, or money order, all the coins, have them call a different branch and arrange to hold the funds. If they still refused, or didnt have the cash, it would definitely start becoming a scene.
If you’re at Walmart and the cashier refuses to give you your change, and they say “come back next week, here is an IOU” would you? It just doesn’t make sense. It is simply wrong. Flat out wrong.
Tell them you’re a lawyer and you want to file criminal charges. Theft is a crime. Tell them you’re a journalist for the Wall Street Journal and you would like their name so you can spell it correctly in the a story you are about to publish of how their bank is out of cash. I’d bet they could find 10K pretty quickly.
With stories like Northern Rock or IndyMac in the news lately, man, if a bank told me that……wow……I’d run to every ATM and bank branch in town and pull all MY money out. I dont need to be waiting in line at the FDIC.
Again, sorry, bit of a rant but geeze, it’s your money. You probably worked hard for it. Good luck with it hope it works out.

ParticipantI have to agree whole heartily with your rant. To many consumers have become nothing more then tools for the corporations and companies servicing out economy. Until consumers become educated and bold enough to act as equal partners in our economy we are likely to continue to the the low standard of of business practices which are the standard.
Don’t even get me started on the fact that it is impossible to purchase and new car without being presented a contract with the most unfavorable arbitration clause legally possible which every drone in the state gladly agrees to.
