Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was unable to access all of my accounts ( a total of XXXX accounts including Checking, Savings and CD 's ) at Wells Fargo Bank via online banking. My Wells Fargo debit and credit cards were also declined when I tried to use them. I called the XXXX number on the back of both cards and I was told that Wells Fargo had listed me as deceased and had frozen all of my accounts ( Savings, checking, etc. ) and closed my credit card. After many attempts at getting answers, I was told I was listed as dead and needed to go to a Wells Fargo Branch office and fill out a " Proof of Life '' form. My daughter helped me with this and we were able to acquired the form after waiting in the lobby for hours for assistance. Wells Fargo did not have a notary working at their bank and I had to take the form to another financial institution to get the Wells Fargo form notarized stating I was alive. I turned in the form on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that evening that the form had been turned into the main office. My accounts are supposed to be accessible, however, I have been unable to access them on the online portal. My username does not work, and I am unable to utilize my account information to get into the system to access using forgot my password. My attempts to get help from my local branch have been unsuccessful. All of my transaction accounts were at Wells Fargo and I lost access to all of my funds. I am in the process of opening new accounts elsewhere, but still need assistance at accessing my accounts online and verifying that no other financial harm was done by Wells Fargo 's mistakes. This experience has taken a huge mental toll on myself as well as my family as I am an XXXX XXXX XXXX widow and navigating this has been difficult and has required support from my daughter. Together we have spent days working to resolve this issue with limited success and no support from Wells Fargo.

Complaint:
Discover will not consider a credit card dispute fairly. They have blindly accepted the merchant 's perspective without listening to my narrative or side. Additionally, despite being provided evidence and a statement that the charge was not authorized, they refuse to charge it back to the merchant. The transaction I am disputing involves a product not delivered. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, I am entitled to a full credit in this event. Discover refuses to issue this credit.

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
I had Discover IT card since 2014.I found some charges which i did n't recognized. I called Discover customer service almost a week back. They transferred me to Fraud detection team who immediately closed my account and send me a new card. Within few minutes i understood what 's going on with my account - reached out to the merchant - who issued me the refund. I called Discover Fraud team another team in less than XXXX hours and asked them not to close my account and no need to send me a new card but they said they will make sure that i will get my new card soon. After XXXX or XXXX days - I got new card which was CHIP based. When i tried to activate that card - but i was asked to call during east coast timing only as DFS fraud team works only in XXXX ... i keep on trying for XXXX days ... and when i got hold of them, i was told destroy the card and i will be getting another card. This time i got the new Discover Card via XXXX - extremely urgent shipment after XXXX days. Called upon after XXXX day to activate it. This card was different from my previous cards as it was ending in XXXX ( my old account was ending in XXXX ). But since XXXX days - they ( DFS ) is not able to find out whether the new card belongs to me or not? Finally today morning - they told me that they will be sending me another discover card by emergency shipment. Almost XXXX hours in total i have spent on this matter during last 10 days. I need to work with their human operators only as the website is not working at all to activate my card. During last XXXX years - I have got my Discover card part of fraud almost XXXX times ... i do n't think Discover is doing enough to secure and safeguard Customer 's account very well. Moreover their overall handling of this issue ( re-issuing new card ) is very very shaky.

Complaint:
The 3 day wait rule should be at least optional. The way banks are actually using this rule is just to go through the same blur of complex paperwork before telling the purchaser that there are " 3 days of quiet time ''. They treat it like a XXXX purchase waiting period. There is nothing whatsoever that forces them to make sure the purchaser understand the blur of paperwork. It 's great that people have the opportunity to review, but it 's not used in that way whatsoever.

As of XX/XX/XXXX I contracted a loan with One Main Financial Company in addition to the loan I was offered an additional product - Involuntary Unemployment Insurance I agreed to additionally protect my future payments against involuntary unemployment. As of XX/XX/XXXX I was unfortunately laid off by my company. I wanted to utilize my insurance but I was denied my claim from insurance company. XXXX XXXX XXXX through One Main Financial informed me that I am not eligible for this coverage. They pointed out I should have been insured as of XX/XX/XXXX ( a year before I contracted a loan to be eligible ). An agent of One Main Financial, who sold me the loan and this faulty insurance product, did not inform me about this alleged provision. I consider the whole situation as deeply unfair and I feel deceived by the One Main Financial and the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was paying insurance premiums throughout my whole employment period hoping that in case anything happens to my employment I will be able to utilize the insurance policy and insurance company will take over installment payments.

Filed Dispute in XX/XX/2021 for account with Midland Credit XXXX. Never heard back from them until XXXX XXXX with a debt verification letter. Multiple calls since XXXX XXXX in an attempt to settle account and have it removed from my credit report. Midland refused to settle. I have called multiple times on XXXX XXXX to settle debt and speak with a division manager in which I was given false names and transferred many times to departments in which Customer Support XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were unable to find my account based off both accounts numbers given to me in the debt verification letter. MCM # XXXX and the XXXX XXXX # XXXX. Furthermore, upon settling debt Midland refuses to remove collect from my report until XXXX XXXX in which they state their policy is to not remove collections before it has been in the report for two years. There are many long pauses and everyone is giving varying/faulty information. After each phone call Midland adds additional negative comments to my reports after each phone call. Also after speaking with them MANY times since XX/XX/2021, it was only today XXXX XXXX that they state possible legal action on my account. I never received a call or letter in the mail in regards to legal action. Further more they claim to have sent this legal letter in XX/XX/2021 but to my previous XXXX  address. This seems weird to me as they sent the debt verification to my correct XXXX address.
