When an older Ohioan is faced with a challenge like personal theft, where can he turn to understand his options and develop a plan of action?
When veteran Anthony Mason, age 99, realized that two checks were missing from his checkbook, he notified his bank. The bank told Mr. Mason that the checks were written to a Judy B. for a total of nearly $3,000. A paid caregiver, Ms. B. used the checks to steal from Mr. Mason. The bank advised Mr. Mason to file a police report, and said they would not refund the money because he “failed to protect his checkbook.” Mr. Mason’s neighbor suggested that he call Pro Seniors.
A Pro Seniors Helpline attorney talked with Mr. Mason about the bank’s responsibility, advised him on wording to use in a certified letter to the bank, and outlined other steps he could take with the home health agency that employed Ms. B.
Mr. Mason followed the Helpline attorney’s advice and, in less than a month, the bank returned the funds to Mr. Mason’s account.
