Consumer complaint received 2023-11-08
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
Chronological order of events : 1. In XXXX XXXX sold to XXXX group. I opted to not continue with XXXX bank and the account is closed and a check was issued XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ( {$200.00} ). A few days later I did an E-deposit at my bank Wells Fargo and within days funds are in my account. 
2. XX/XX/XXXX ( 9 months later ) the check is posted again at another financial institution ( See attached copy of deposit and look at the 2 different signatures ). Apparently, XXXX disputes this " double deposit '' with Wells Fargo. 
3. XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo informs me that {$200.00} has been removed from my account due to a " double deposit '' ( no record of a double deposit in my account, as this was verified through my history of deposits ). This is the XXXX # : XXXX. 
4. For next 7 weeks I dispute this with Wells Fargo, all the way to the office of the Administrator, and last person that said a " group '' had reviewed my case ( Escalation department - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX stated I had no other recourse with Wells Fargo, that the problem was with XXXX bank. Wells Fargo is not looking after my interest. Wells Fargo was the XXXX and should have resolved the problem to my favor. 
6. XX/XX/XXXX I contacted a different department at Wells Fargo, claiming fraud, either by Wells Fargo, intermediary or XXXX bank. New case # : XXXX. Contact : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX Fax : XXXX XXXX. I have contacted XXXX XXXX and they have opened a fraud investigation, but 5 months later, they too have not resolved. ( Case # XXXX. Contact : XXXX XXXX. 
8. XXXX XXXX, Wells Fargo determined there was no error on their part, even so 2 different signatures and deposits were made and they decided not to honor the first deposit ( my deposit done days after receiving the check ). Their investigation was textbook shallow without any intent of rectifying. Chronological evidence was presented but they still overlooked all the facts. 

I hope this gets resolved. I personally think someone either from Wells Fargo, the " private clearing house '' or XXXX bank " acquired '' my digital photo of the check and waited some time to " fraudulently '' redeposit at a later date. Or maybe just some glitch. Either way, I am minus {$200.00}. This was the only time I ever have made a digital e-deposit and I will never, ever do it again! 
Wells Fargo has acted very unprofessional and did not do a thorough investigation, swept the problem under the rug. It is obvious that Wells Fargo dropped the ball, did not pursue this and found the easy way out at the expense of the client. 

Here are 6 attached documents related to this problem.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 

I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. 

Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below. Each Account is in the document attached to the complaint I demand that the following account be verified or removed immediately :

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have a Security Freeze at Equifax. I have tried 4 times to lift it. All I get is a message : We are temporarily unable to retrieve the status of your security freeze. Please click " Manage a freeze '' for more details. 

This temporarily has been going on for months. I can get my current Equifax Credit Report but I can not get it to lift the security freeze on its website. Followed instructions : " Please give us a call. We can't complete your request at this time. 
Please call the Customer Care team XXXX '' Have tried this 3 times to no avail. I input all of the required info it requests straight from my Equifax credit report. Get to the end and get a recording : Im sorry we cant help you. No reason. Once I got a live rep who could barely speak English. Same response. Im sorry we cant help you. No reason. '' Sent required info my mail. No response. No action, No lift. I can not get a new credit card from XXXX because of this. 

Sending copies of my Drivers License & W2 statements w my SSN by mail or fax is totally insecure but I have done it in order to get a security freeze lifted. Still has not been lifted. 

I am able to get my security freeze lifted at XXXX  and XXXX over the internet with ease any time I want. But not at Equifax. 

But that does not help me w any company that uses Equifax to check my credit.

Moreover, the account with XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ] was reported as a charge off account as well. However, I had been making payments towards this account and was not informed that it would be reported as a charge off. 

Lastly, I have noticed collection accounts with XXXXXXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ], XXXX  [ Account Number : XXXX ], and XXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ]. I have no knowledge of these accounts and would appreciate any information you can provide.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 my XXXX year old mother 's {$600.00} stimulus check was deposited to the wrong account. Instead of being put into my mothers account it was deposited into my deceased father 's Veterans Pension account. 

My mother has NO connection to this account. Her name is not on it nor is her social security number associated with it. 

I contacted the bank. They acknowledge it is in the wrong account, but they will not put it in the correct account or return the funds to the IRS so my mother can receive her stimulus payment because my late father 's account is overdrawn. They are stealing my mother 's money trying to make up for the loss on an account my mother has no connection to!
