Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: UT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
This email is intended to report Wells Fargo involvement in a fraudulent transaction back on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$14000.00}. 

A Wells Fargo banker name XXXX XXXX had advised me several times that I could qualify for a HELOC, and I would have small payments, Which I declined every time he offered me this HELOC. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was approached again by mention banker " XXXX XXXX '' regarding a HELOC, and then I decided to request a HELOC in the amount of {$10000.00} which it was approved and deposited into my Wells Fargo checking account. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I was in the process of selling my house, and i noticed that my HELOC unpaid principal balance was still {$9800.00} " Approx. '' I went to the Wells Fargo branch, and I was told that it was accurate, they brought up to my attention about the " suppose '' HELOC that was processed on my behalf " UNAUTHORIZED. '' I proceeded to file a claim with Wells Fargo and waited for their investigation outcome. 

Weeks after, Wells Fargo responded and made me aware that on XX/XX/XXXX, there was a HELOC application in the amount of {$14000.00}, the application also had a co-borrower named " XXXX XXXX '' which I have no relationship nor involvement what's so ever with mentioned person. Wells Fargo also provided documentation where the HELOC application was signed by this individual and me " supposedly '' and for Well Fargo convenience, it was notarized by same banker that processed the HELOC application " XXXX XXXX. '' On that document, you can clearly see that my signature does NOT match my actual signature, I made Wells Fargo aware of this and their excuse always is that it was notarized by a Public Notary. Wells Fargo has not provided records or proof of this funds being paid out either by check, cashier 's check or direct deposit just like the actual and legitimate HELOC that was processed on XX/XX/XXXX, for the amount of {$10000.00}. 

Wells Fargo banker " XXXX XXXX, '', their Public Notary, processed a HELOC application for the amount of {$25000.00} when I had only requested {$10000.00}. Their intention was to pay off the UNAUTHORIZED and FRAUDULENT HELOC created on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$14000.00}. Therefore, the amount deposited into my account was {$10000.00} after the fraudulent HELOC was paid off. 

It's unethical and no fair for me as a consumer that Wells Fargo is trying to take advantage of me as a consumer for their own benefit. It is also OBVIUOS that their own Notary/Banker processed and notarized all documents such as applications and everything else.

Complaint:
XXXX, XXXX, Transunion, And XXXX all participated in shady acts in regard to my consumer report. 

They all reported experiences and transactions which is not allowed. 

According to : the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681a Definitions : Rules of Construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) States the term consumer report doesnt not include any report containing information solely as to transactions or experience between the consume and the person making the report. 

XXXX, XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX all reported a late payment as well as my usage. Well if late payments are a form of transactions, and usage is a form of experience these items should not be on my consumer report at all!! 

TransUnion is reporting late payments ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  as well as credit usage utilization which is a form of experience. 

15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other, in accordance with the consumer to whom it relates!!! 

i never gave any of these companies written consent/permission to use my PRIVATE DATA to report any payments or utilization to benefit them in their business dealings. 
Let alone any details alone this late payment from XXXX. 

Also, according to 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose states, There is need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

So my right to privacy has been completely violated!! 

It also states the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting method undermined the public confidence with is essential to the continues function of the banking system. 

Nothing about this late payment is fair or accurate according to the LAW and my privacy rights have been horribly violated, i am disheartened and i have been affected very negatively by this unfair reporting. 

TRANSUNION, XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, AND XXXX ALL VIOLATED MY RIGHTS BY ALLOWING REPORTING OF THIS LATE PAYMENT TO MY CONSUMER REPORT!!! 

i need this late payment removed within the next XXXX days or further actions will be taken.

RE : Complaint # XXXX filed with CFPB on XX/XX/2017. 

CFPB closed my complaint in error after receiving a response from Wells Fargo in error. The response provided by Wells Fargo only provided information regarding the terms of the HELOC. The concerns provided in my complaint were not addressed. 

The subject of my complaint were not addressed in their response. My complaint referred to payment installments of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2017 where the entire payment was only applied to principal. In reprocessing these payments, serious errors occurred and they said the XX/XX/XXXX payment was pass due by 23 days and that the XX/XX/XXXX payment was still due. Wells Fargo also notified the credit bureaus of the past due amount. Refer to the information initially provided in this complaint. 

Please either reopen the original complaint ( above number ) or open a new complaint to address the errors and issues by Wells Fargo that were never addressed in their response.
