Kind of a stupid question.
I opened a Wells Fargo checking account when I was 16, so my father was listed on it since I was a minor. We have kept it that way throughout college because there never seemed to be a reason to change it. Now that im 30 years old it seems rather silly that he still is listed on my account and can view my spending habits. I asked a Wells Fargo branch to remove him from the account, but they said there is no way to do that without us both being there together. It makes sense, but odd at the same time to me. I don't think he can withdraw money from it and I've always could change the status of my account, switching from regular checking to college student checking back to regular checking, etc.
So I guess my main goal was the passive aggressive approach of just changing it on my own. Since that failed, I could just start a new checking account but I would have to change a lot of financial things that are linked to the old account number. Would just telling them to close down my savings account and take the checking down to the minimum limit convince them to change it for me?
I have a fairly good relationship with my father, just dont think its any of his business that I go to a vape shop, buy a new computer, or how much my airfare is, etc
