Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX, I noticed that I had started receiving some charges associated with my Checking Account. I called Wells Fargo and they explained that they had monthly fees associated with accounts that did not meet certain requirements. As this was news to me, they were willing to offer a refund and promised me that I would not see new charges for the current month. 

I did not notice until recently that I actually had been charged anyway, and for an additional month afterward, even though I had made changes to meet the fee exemption requirements. I contacted them today ( XXXX XXXX ) and was told that they would be unable to refund me for the charges they had previously promised I would not receive because it had been longer than 180 days since the charges had occurred. 

I don't think it's right that a company can get away with wrongful charges because of a self-defined limit on the timeframe in which things can be made right.

Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the lack of progress in resolving a dispute on my credit report. Despite my efforts to address inaccuracies, particularly a reported late payment that is inconsistent with my payment history, there has been no apparent resolution. 
Account Information : CAPITAL ONE XXXX Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. 
I want to emphasize the importance of accurate reporting and the impact it has on my overall financial well-being. The inclusion of this inaccurate late payment information is not only affecting my credit score but has also taken a toll on my mental health due to the distress caused by the seemingly unending resolution process. However, there has been no visible progress in your investigation, and the inaccurate information persists on my credit report. 
I am reaching out to seek clarification on the status of my dispute and to understand the steps being taken to address the inaccuracies in my credit report. I am a responsible consumer who values financial integrity, and it is disheartening to see that my efforts to correct these errors have not yielded any positive results.

Complaint:
In XXXX I opened a XXXX 's Bridal account with Comenity Bank. In XX/XX/XXXX, Comenity closed my account without prior notice. In XX/XX/XXXX, I called Comenity to find out the total balance I would need to pay to settle my account. They told me {$370.00} and so I paid that amount. In either XXXX or XXXX, I received a late payment notification from my bank. I paid all my accounts on time, but when I checked the details it said Comenity Bank. I called Comenity to inquire about this. The representative told me that I did not pay the {$6.00} interest that was charged the next month ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I explained that I had no knowledge of an existing balance because I called to get the total balance to settle the account and assumed everything was good on my end when I paid it. I also told the rep that I had no problem paying the {$6.00} interest but I would need that to be removed from my credit. The late payment caused my score to drop by over XXXX points. The Comenity rep said they would not be able to remove the late payment from my credit report. I have contacted all XXXX credit bureaus, but despite explaining the situation, the only investigation done is the verify that the account is valid. 

*Please note that I opened the account under my maiden name XXXX XXXX and my email at the time was XXXX.

Complaint:
Hey, I've been trying for months to fix the mess on my credit report, following all the rules in the Federal Credit Reporting Act. These accounts are a disasterwrong, unverifiable, and unfinished. I disputed with the credit bureaus and even contacted the original data folks. They said the disputed info isn't their problem ; it's on the credit reporting agencies. I sent everything to every credit bureau, but they acted like they didn't even check. The data folks were clear it's not their problem, but the credit bureaus are pretending everything 's fine. I attached the account details and the data folks ' letter so you can see the chaos. This investigation is driving me crazy! I asked all three agencies to remove this wrong data from my Credit History Report, but they refused. They say your company insists this info is accurate. Here 's the ongoing mess in my credit report : The account got the green light as accurate, but the mistakes are still there, unchanged. 
The date last active on this account is wrong on every bureauthey 're messing with time-traveling via re-aging. 
Account number? Complete chaos, wrong on every bureau. 
Payment history is full of errors. 
This account is reporting payment history after it's supposed to be closed. 
High credit and credit limit? More chaoswrong and inconsistent on all three bureaus. 
Can you believe this? Any help would be a lifesaver.Thanks!

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information that has been reported by settled accounts on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have noticed discrepancies that need to be addressed promptly. I am concerned that this inaccurate reporting is negatively impacting my credit score and financial standing. 
AMERICAN EXPRESS XXXX There must have been an error and this must thoroughly investigate. XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or unverifiable. 
Despite settling this account, the information reported inaccurately suggests otherwise. It is my understanding that settled accounts should reflect their accurate status on my credit report, and any discrepancy is not only misleading but also damaging to my creditworthiness. The terms of our settlement agreement clearly outlined that the account would be considered satisfied upon completion of the agreed-upon settlement amount. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this information is not accurately reflected on my credit report.
