Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I've encountered persistent denials in my attempts to open various accounts, spanning brokerage, checking, and savings accounts. The rejections are causing frustration, particularly because Wells Fargo has consistently canceled or closed my accounts based on an incident that occurred a few years ago. I want to emphasize that I have been wrongly accused in this matter, and it's crucial to rectify this situation promptly, as it's affecting my ability to establish and maintain financial accounts. I am actively working to address the underlying issues causing these denials and believe that resolving the misunderstanding regarding the Wells Fargo incident is a key step in finding a fair resolution to this ongoing problem

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Late or other fees

Consumer Complaint: I opened my checking and savings account with Wells Fargo about 10 years ago together with my mortgage account. I was told by Wells Fargo that both my savings and checking accounts would remain free of charge because I have a mortgage account with them. On or before XX/XX/2023, Wells Fargo started charging me {$10.00} fees per month on my savings account for not meeting the minimum balance despite the fact that I was never notified about the change. I proceeded to close my account in XXXX and Wells Fargo continued to charge me {$10.00} fees per month from XXXX through XXXX. It is outrageous for Wells Fargo to deprived my money without proper notice and despite my repeated efforts to resolve the issue.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I deposited two checks on Friday XX/XX/17 and they were put on a 12-day hold with a reason of " Check Was Not A Payable Item ''. I asked for an explanation as to why a check was not a payable item and they would not explain why the check was unacceptable. They told me to have the maker issue a stop payment and try again but if I do that they will issue an identical check with just a different check number. That will likely get rejected again. I need them to tell me what is wrong but they refuse to do so which is outrageous, awful service and indicative of a wanton disregard for the suffering of a client. Wells Fargo should be penalized by their regulator for this oppressive and abuse behavior and I will certainly recommend to everyone I know that avoiding Wells Fargo is a good idea.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: I had a total of nine charges, nearly amounting to {$800.00}, which were fraudulent and made using my card in XXXX, CA, and XXXX, DE. Strangely, these charges displayed only a string of numbers ( e.g., XXXX... ) with no merchant names. After disputing these charges with Wells Fargo, they initially closed the claim and promptly issued a refund within a week. However, a few weeks later, Wells Fargo sent me another letter asserting that their investigation was concluded, and they confirmed that I made these charges with my card and PIN, even though I've never been to those locations. When I tried to dispute this, it took over 3 days of being on hold multiple times with no response. Finally I was able to speak with a Wells Fargo rep and they insisted that the charges were made by a company I had used before, and they refused to reconsider their decision, abruptly ending the call and suggesting I file a police report. Frustrated, I contacted the company they claimed was responsible for the charges, but they had no record of any such transactions. I have no way of disputing these charges Attached are the fraudulent transactions from my account and my correspondence with the company XXXX clearly stating that they do not have record of these transactions

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: Dear Executive Office, We received the below secure message from XXXX XXXX and although it is very nice t is not accepted and this stage in this case. I was incapacitated at the time and we had a family member pay our bills which they continually paid on this account not knowing this was not belonging to us. I'm on permanent disability and this is a major issue. I have been reaching out now since finding out about it and that was months ago. I have still continued paying which I now understand I should not have had to do but no one as Wells Faro has helped or provided any assistance. I have been on my own. I now understand many disability violations and credit card dispute violations have been made on your end and IM now advising you this NEEDS To be corrected immediacy. I will continue to file formal complaints on this matter until fully resolved. This in unacceptable and I'm hoping one of you find executives sees that and can fit this to the direct person to handle this once and for all. I will not be filing any more disputes or providing you more details to you I have done that countless times now and you keep replying it is fixed and it isnt.. I have done that over and over and you have not done your part. This is now out of hand complete. I'm emailing you again and to let you know this is FRAUD and the card has been compromised and you have been as ware of that. The reason for the new card is that and not due to expiring etc. The entire balance does not belong to me and needs to be removed from my account and records and a new card issued I have waited well over the allowable 10 days to resolve this matter please GET NACK TO ME THIS IS FULLY RESOLVE SO NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED. Thanak YOU XXXX XXXX From: XXXX XXXX Sent: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject: Re: Complaint Regarding Account Ending in XXXX I received a phone message yesterday but cannot hear the person at all. They left a number I couldn't make out, and I advised I can't speak on the phone currently due to XXXX XXXX. I am still recovering. I've made a lot of payments on this account; you still need to fix it. I was supposed to issue credits, refunds, and a new card and account. This account SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YM RECORDS AS THEY DO NOT BELONG TO ME. These are the credits I am still showing due. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I show $XXXX plus interest, fees, and late fees need to be refunded. Please confirm this is correct and complete. I would like an email to make sure it's resolved. THANK YOU, XXXX XXXX From: XXXX XXXX Sent: Monday, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To: XXXX Subject: Re: Complaint Regarding Account Ending in XXXX I would like to know if this is handled in full today. I received a letter months ago that a resolution was made and that you'd send it to the credit bureaus, and I see that still needs to be done. I have already waited for the timeframe allowed for disputes to be resolved as well. From: XXXX XXXX Sent: Wednesday, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To: XXXX Subject: Re: Complaint Regarding Account Ending in XXXX Dear Wells Fargo Executive Office, I had reached out to you about the above account and was disputing the balance, and I got a notice I was not responsible and that the account balance would be updated and a new card mailed to me. I am still waiting for the new card; the account balance must be resolved. I continued making payments on the account as I have been in the hospital for months and will be released next week, but I was told this account would be on hold. I was told all interest and late fees would be refunded and stopped on my account, and I see that still needs to be done. I am trying to understand why my account is still like this. I tried to be proactive on this, but the balance of $XXXX still needs to be reflected, which should be different. This should be a XXXX balance, and a new card should be issued immediately. I can't call in because I cannot speak, but this was resolved and is now outside the allowable time to resolve billing issues from when I reached out in XXXX. This needs to be corrected. Please confirm this via email, or you must leave a message, as I can only access and reply to emails now. I want this balance removed and a new card issued to me. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
