Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I opened XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit card account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX with a promise of 18 month interest free account. I had an opening credit balance of {$9700.00} with a purchase. 

XX/XX/XXXX - {$38.00} late fee XX/XX/XXXX - {$38.00} late fee XX/XX/XXXX - {$1.00} Minimum interest charge I can only see 12 months of history due limited website functionality there is another {$28.00} as dispute charge. 

I have called their customer service, firstly they can not access my information from their side, as they can see only 6 months of account history, secondly since they can not see these charges they can not help me, gets frustrated and disconnects the phone. I have paid all my payments every month, despite of this Wells fargo has accumulated the late fees charge as {$100.00}. This is poor processing and backend issues on the banking and payments side which I can not do anything about. Despite complaining, this is going to deaf ears and I have no forum where I can report this misappropriation of system issues to consumer. This is very unprofessional of Wells Fargo.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2022, I selected to setup Autopay for minimum payment. Synchrony Bank system configurations disregarded my selection and replaced it with pay statement balance. In XX/XX/2022, the electronic payment was executed, and funds were taken from my account. Not only were funds deducted from my bank account, derogatory information was reported to all three credit bureaus. 

I contacted Synchrony to correct the error. Synchrony processes would not correct the matter immediately ; therefore, I requested a stop payment against the electronic payment. Later, Synchrony sent a check which made things more complicated. After this transaction, statements showed my balance to be {$11000.00}. In addition, credit reports reflected that I exceeded my credit limit of $ XXXX, which resulted in my credit score dropping drastically. 

Still today, they are reporting the incorrect high credit balance on all three credit reports.

State: NV
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Government benefit card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to pay a bill

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 my Nevada state unemployment debit card through Bank of America was frozen due to fraud. I had not placed any fraud disputes or complaints. I have I called both Bank of America and the state unemployment department at least twice a week as well as email them and continue to do so. So far i have called over 167 times and have sent over 200 emails. I have emailed them documentation to prove my identity and explaining the scenario nothing has changed. When I called the state unemployment department they blame Bank of America and when I called Bank of America and they blame the state department. When speaking to the unemployment department I am told that there is nothing wrong with my account that I should continue filing. However when I speak with Bank of America they tell me the opposite. All of this has caused me extreme stress by having my phone cut off, no means of transportation, and no way to pay my rent. I do not have family here and moved right before the pandemic lockdown. I can understand undue stress on families and believe this to be part of the increase in CCSD students XXXX.
