Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
For almost a year now, Wells Fargo has been reordering my bank charges in order to maximize overdraft fees. In other words, they change the dates on my charges so that they can either charge me overdraft fees, or if I already have an overdraft charge, they will change the dates on my purchases in order to charge me multiple overdraft fees. They will also purposely withhold transactions so that my balance looks higher than it really is. Then, when my balance gets low enough they will process all of the transactions that they withheld causing me multiple overdraft fees. Here 's an example : On XXXX/XXXX/16 I checked my checking balance and it was roughly {$140.00}, so I went and bought a few grocery items that I needed. Now, fast forward to XXXX/XXXX/16. I woke up and saw that my account was overdrawn and there was a new charge on there from XXXX that was n't on there before. It was my cell phone bill that I have on reoccuring auto pay ... .which I admitedly forgot about. However, this charge did not reflext on my balance on my balance until XXXX. There were also XXXX new overdraft charges for the charges I made on XXXX. I called my cell phone privider and talked to a few different people ( including 2 CS Suoervisors ) to see why the charge took 5 days to process and they told me it was my bank who withheld it for 5 days. So basically, Wells Fargo withheld this charge for 5 days and then processed it on XXXX and tyen changed the process date on the charge to XXXX and then retro charged me {$140.00} in overdraft fees. This has happened numerous times over the last 7-8 months and has cost me XXXX ( if not XXXX ) of dollars. It is fraud and I am tired of them taking advantage of me.

Product: Payday loan
Issue: Received a loan I didn't apply for

Complaint:
I received a credit to my bank account in the amount of {$350.00} for an on-line loan that I DID NOT apply for from Lendgreen. Then a debit went through the bank for {$150.00} for payment on the loan ( which I did n't apply for ) I contacted the bank and they instructed me to contact Lendgreen which I did. They verified with me that they did not have an account for me. ( thats why I called them ) They then verified with the bank that these transactions took place. They then informed me that they could not or would not do anything until I filed a fraud report with my local police department and fax or email them a copy. I filed the report and am awaiting a copy from the Sheriffs Dept.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/22 I received email from MoneyLion saying that I am late on making loan payments and must pay {$360.00} by XX/XX/22 or the account would be sold. I am not sure if that means to a debt collector or I will be taken to court. I tried calling them several times and even submitted a dispute on XXXX XXXX a month before because I had seen this account on my credit report and reported it as fraudulent. I do not know who opened this account but it was not me and Im questioned how a loan was taken out without verification of photo license or other means to secure accurate identification.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed out my FTC identity theft report to Credit Control and notified this company that I am a victim of identity theft. I reported to them that I did not open or authorize this account, and I requested that it be closed immediately. I asked Credit Control to please send me written confirmation that I am not responsible for charges on this account, and take appropriate steps to remove information about this account from my credit files.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: SC
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint:
I requested a credit limit increase from my bank ( BB & T ) for my credit card over the phone but the agent did not know whether a hard or soft pull was need so I explicitly stated the stipulation to note on the request that if they need a hard inquiry on my credit report do not proceed with the credit limit increase. A week later, I noticed an increased credit limit and once I checked my credit report noticed XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report. 
I contacted BB & T and explained the situation. The agent ( XXXX ) I was speaking to had her Supervisor ( XXXX ) listen to my original phone call and she confirmed that I made the request NOT to perform a hard inquiry on my credit report. XXXX send a dispute request to the XXXX to remove these inquiries from my credit report. She told me it could take up to 10 days to file with the credit bureaus and 30 days to see the update to my credit report. I asked for an email confirmation of the discussion we had and I figured everything was solved at this point. I never received the email confirmation. 
A few days later, I received a letter in the mail from the BB & T Bankcard Services stating they concluded that the information was reported to the credit bureaus accurately and closed the dispute. Keep in mind a few days earlier the supervisor ( XXXX ) listened to my phone call in which I specifically said not to perform a hard inquiry and admitted fault. I was confused in their finding so I called BB & T again and they informed me I could not directly contact the BB & T XXXX department and they could not tell me what information they provided that department for their investigation. The agent said the only thing I could do at this point is contact the XXXX credit reporting agencies. 
I first contacted XXXX and they said that they could not do anything about removing the inquiries on my account made by the bank. All I could do is file a police report and file a complaint with the CFPB. 
That is where I am at right now. BB & T has a recording of the original phone conversion in which I specifically asked for them NOT to perform a hard inquiry on my account but their internal XXXX department found they were not at fault for the XXXX unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
On Wells Fargo 's online banking website, there use to be running totals for each transaction on the checking accounts, savings accounts, and on the platinum visa credit cards. Wells Fargo recently redesigned their online website, and now only have a running balance per transaction on their savings accounts, changed the checking to only daily running balances, and completely removed any running balance/total at all from the platinum credit card accounts. With no running totals for what is owed on the platnium credit card accounts, customers no longer have a way to check and balance their grand total. Wells Fargo can literally put any grand total as owed without customers being able to check if it 's accurate unless they go back to the beginning of time with their account and calculate each transaction by hand. Not only is that a huge issue for customers, but Wells Fargo 's online records do n't even go that far back. So customers are just supposed to trust that their total is correct. It seems very suspicious that Wells Fargo would due away with this feature, especially in light of all of the fraudulent activity going on with Wells Fargo in the news. I would think it 's illegal to due away with that feature and give customers no way of checking their grand total owed on their credit card? I feel it really needs to be looked into and investigated. A Bank should not be allowed to remove data like that and expect customers to just trust their grand total owed without any way of confirming it 's accurate.

Complaint:
Mortgage # XXXX. 
Fifth Third Bank To Whom it may concern : Our mortgage loan went into servicing on XX/XX/21. Shortly after in XXXX starting on the XXXX, we made several large principal only payments to get our loan to value down in order to drop PMI. See list of dates below : XXXX {$20000.00}. XXXX {$20000.00} XXXX {$40000.00} XXXX {$40000.00} XXXX {$40000.00} Once we completed our last large principal payment, we contacted the customer service line to request the XXXX  be removed. The agent told us that XXXX was a credit and would automatically be removed. After the XXXX did not automatically fall off, we reached back out to the mortgage offices that did our loan last year. She instructed us that we need to request XXXX to drop. As a consumer, I had no idea of the process or how to get the charges to drop. As a consumer, I am seeking a refund of {$610.00} which were overpayments due to a very tricky process of managing or removing the XXXX.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I have had damage from Hurricane XXXX, from XXXX foot storm surge in my downstairs. The adjuster came, I received a check, but the check was written to me and my ex 's mortgage company BB & T. XXXX will not change the check for me. From my divorce decree, it is very clear that I am the only homeowner, and because my ex did n't have the cash to pay me off in the divorce, I allowed him to change the mortgage to his own name. BB & T purchased his mortgage apparently. I have made about 20 phone calls to their Property Damage Claim Department XXXX, and have sent in personal documents they have requested despite the fact that I have no relationship with them, contractually or otherwise. I asked them to allow me to get a local branch endorsement so that I could proceed with the hurricane damage repairs, but today they turned me down and expect me to endorse the check over to them and turn my life and house over to their control. The check is for flood insurance that I paid voluntarily due to my property being in flood plain XXXX, which does not require flood insurance to be escrowed or even kept on the property ; I did this for my own safety, and if I did not have any flood insurance, would have taken a financial beating with this hurricane, and BB & T would not lose a dime regardless. I am tired of their meddling in my business, and refused to submit to their demands that I endorse the check over to them, file all manner of paperwork with them and inconvenience my subcontractors. Once again, I have no relationship with BB & T at all, and the mortgage on this property is a very small percentage of the value of the home, yet I would lose a tremendous amount of money if I were forced to sell it with the damage.

Complaint:
In XXXX & XXXX of 2016, BB & T Bank was running a promotion to open a checking account and get {$150.00} bonus. Additional requirements were : establish a direct deposit of {$500.00} per cycle & make 3 bill payments. I followed these requirements. 5 months later and still no sign of bonus. Phone call to customer service ( XXXX ) ended up with them advising me to talk to my local banker as it was a " regional promotion ''. Talking to local banker stalled since the banker had to the same toll-free number and they told her that the account was opened with no promo code ( back in XXXX I clicked on " Open Account '' button. There was no field to enter any promo code ). My impression is that the bank is avoiding following their own promotions in order to not pay the bonus.
