Updated-Wells Fargo stoke $6k from me

We had our house painted and gave the painters a check because it was 1.5% cheaper. Wells Fargo somehow misread the check and took out 6 grand extra. The check was $3800 and they took out $9800. When we called, they said it was clearly a clerical error but they couldn’t refund me the money until their fraud team looked at it. After b&m’ing and speaking to multiple supervisors, they told me there is nothing they can do until it is reviewed by the fraud team even though it is a clear error.
Do I have any course of action? I’m closing down our accounts as soon as I get all my money back but anything else? BBB? It is only $6k but the fact they can take it so quickly but not give it back is scary.
Update- received a call from WF this morning from some manager/president dude apologizing and letting us know it has all been settled. I did let him know we will be pulling all our money out and switching banks because of the poor customer experience but something tells me they don’t care. Just glad I got my money back.

1) do you have a copy of the check?
2) if no to #1, demand a copy of the check.

So they’re working through their process and haven’t actually closed it out yet. How have they stolen it from you?

So it’s not really stoken or stolen. That would piss me off too though.

You got your house painted for $3800??
You live in a trailer?

Sounds like you'll get it back if you're willing to wait.

You’re taking this quite well. If it was me, the “$9,800” check would’ve bounced and I would’ve told them to frick off

Exactly. Why are you worried about a measly 6k?

They have to complete their investigation. All banks do this. You will just be causing yourself more hassle by changing banks.
Why didn't you pay with a card or with an electronic check instead of hand writing a check?

First Ho would’ve never done this to you

We have a copy of the check. They have a copy of the check. It states $3800 and two of the people I spoke with stated it was clearly a clerical error.
I understand investigations and stuff but they messed up. I also think it is BS they need to wait 10 days. It should be done immediately. If they found out I was given $6k extra, do you think they would give me 10 days?

Meanwhile the painters got $6000 extra and they haven’t said anything.

Slow down. It sucks. Let the bank do their investigation.
If it's not resolved by the time a branch opens, go in there and talk to one of the bankers. They should be able to help you.
If not, then after your money is back, change banks.
