Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Virtual currency
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
I used Wellsfargo  XXXX  to send money to my mother. I wrote her name and typed in a phone number to transfer the money. Turns out the name and number did n't match, because there was a typo in the phone number. The money was still sent. I immediately called them right after the transfer before it even completed. They waited two weeks before giving me a resolution and just told me according to their research the funds are now gone, and even though the name and the phone number did n't match Wellsfargo still transferred the funds and there is n't anything they can do about it, unless the person voluntary gives it back???
Institution : Wellsfargo Application :  XXXX  Amount : {$500.00} Transfer :   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 Action :   XXXX   XXXX   2017 - opened claim   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 - reopened claim Spoke to a banker, he 's trying to file another claim to the internal resolution team and advocate for me I forced them to reopen the claim after they closed it, when they told me they tried " calling '' the other financial institution and that was it. Even if I was take this person to small claims, Wellsfargo will not provide me with documentation of the information of where the money was transfer to so I can take the person to court. So long story, short they are leaving me high and dry. They told me to handle it myself but even then they are not providing me with much information to handle the situation myself.
The general attitude was tough luck to me. I have a personal banker that I encounter that is trying to advocate for me but it seems bleak. I do n't know why they sent my money even if the number did n't MATCH THE NAME!

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received an offer from Union Bank to open a priority bank acct ( checking ) and receive {$300.00} if I complied with the specifications. They were use the debit card a number of times within 60 days I think & link to mortgage which is with Union Bank. I get these offers from banks I don't know why but it is easy enough to do it & get free . The deposit requirements were nothing much & no direct deposit requirement. I went to the bank several times to try to open the acct. When they realized I was not depositing a substantial sum they were telling me no I could not do it. Each time I went home & read the requirements and I matched so returned. On maybe 3rd try I got a nice young banker who it turns out did not know what he was doing but he opened the acct. Well I was happy! But time passed & no debit card arrived. I really forgot about it until maybe XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I became concerned maybe the card was lost in the mail so I think I called- also because no {$300.00}! They sent the card but by this time the 60 day requirement was nowhere on my mind and I went into the bank time after time to try to get it all set. In XXXX I went in for the I do not know how many time and one of  the bankers who had told me in XXXX that it was approved & the $ would be there. Their employee had fouled up & his boss " XXXX '' had approved it. So XXXX I'm back & he calls " XXXX '' and he actually initials the offer paper-OK it is done. No. I mean ridiculous. I go back in because I tried to go on online banking but their employee who opened the acct orig. never put me on online banking so they demanded I go in to the branch to get on. I got a nice banker ( different one ) & he says he will bring it up because now the initial guy is on several weeks training not available till after XXXX XXXX. OK after XXXX XXXX I'm baaaack. He says it's out of his hands it's up to " XXXX '' who is in a different office. Just by chance " XXXX '' is there! He says oh his boss said you never did anything with the acct so they are not going to give the XXXX I sent a letter to " XXXX '' s boss- nothing. I have to point out they had sent me a similar offer some years ago & I changed my mortgage to them & later did another refi. I have done my best to resolve this with them that is why I am here.
