Consumer complaint received 2016-09-30
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I had been making many payments towards this loan throughout a month rather than a single payment. I was not made clear on how the money paid was distributed between the interest and the principle for the loan, although I had initially understood these were " principle only '' payments. 

The real issue occurred when without ANY communication from Wells Fargo, the payments I 'd made began being unapplied ( and not credited back to my checking from where they had been transferred. ) After multiple phone calls with the bank, I was unable to get any answers as to why they were doing this to the account. No one, even the XXXX different managers I had spoken to at different times, could explain anything other than that the account was under maintenance and to check back in a few days after the system " refreshed ''. Nothing would get fixed and I would call again, spend hours on the phone etc. 

I was never clear as to why or what this department was doing when they were unapplying my payments. They have since reapplied them in some manner that I did n't make sense of. I paid off the remainder of the loan asap after that, but will never be clear as to whether I was charged interest for the time period that my balance reflected considerably more that was owed. I also believe this will possibly affect my credit score as it showed the account as delinquent for over 30 days ( when I was significantly AHEAD of the payment schedule ). 

I am concerned that Wells Fargo has the authority ( or the audacity ) to move a customer 's money around without permission, explanation, or purpose ... especially without communicating with their customer. I am led to believe that this incident was done to benefit Wells Fargo, or a Wells Fargo employee.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I am disputing the debt as reported by Midland Funding for {$6000.00} from XXXX XXXX. I do not have any responsibility for the debt theyre trying to collect because this was closed and the amount charged-off three years ago. I have disputed this debt before. This continues to affect my credit score which falls under unfair practices. 

Documents of proof have never been provided to me and the reason is, they do not exist.

Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
Wells Fargo Overdraft Protection from Savings account plan states that it will transfer funds to cover items when the available balance is less than the amount necessary to cover the items, however, they are executing a funds transfer and charging a fee every time the balance is lower than {$20.00} even when there are no items pending that will take the balance into a negative balance. They are charging the consumer a transfer fee just because they have a low balance and not just to cover items that will send the account into overdraft. They are fraudulently charging these fees for overdraft protection from a savings account.

Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Good Evening, Hi my name is XXXX XXXX, I leased apartment # XXXX through XX/XX/2015-XX/XX/2015 at XXXX XXXX in XXXX , Texas . I tried to apply at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Texas and was informed that I had a broken lease from XXXX XXXX XXXX after investigating this what I found out. 


I gave a 30 day notice to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/2015 after I gave my notice I looked into a XXXX bed room unit at XXXX XXXX XXXX and gave them a {$150.00} transfer fee XX/XX/XXXX, before my move out date XXXX/XXXX/2015 I contacted XXXX and informed XXXX ( manager ) that I can not move into the XXXX bedroom XXXX ( manager ) then advised me ( XXXX ) that I would not get my {$150.00} back if I decided that I did n't want the apartment. I moved out of my apartment XXXX/XXXX/2015 as I was supposed to do. XXXX XXXX XXXX is now telling me that I have a broken lease because I did not give them a second 30 day notice. XXXX XXXX XXXX kept my money like they stated but then charged me {$550.00} for Insufficient Notice. I do n't see the reason to give another 30 day notice. There is no way that could work because based off that 1st 30 day notice you all could actually lease that XXXX bed room. I never filled out a lease or anything for that XXXX bed room. At this point I do n't think I was supposed to be charged XXXX for Insufficient Notice, because I strongly believe it 's not right, especially if I never signed any documents stating on that XXXX bed room. 

I contacted the collection agency and they refuse to get the issue resolved correctly. The collection agency stated the collection is valid even though I have evidence showing that it is fraud.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I found out in XX/XX/XXXX while applying to refinance our home that my credit rating was much lower than expected. On XXXX XXXX I called XXXX  and discovered a problem with a XXXX credit card  issued through Comenity Bank for the purchase of about {$80.00} I made in the summer of XXXX in XXXX. I use the card very infrequently. 

I acknowledge the purchase but I never received any monthly statements for payments at either our XXXX  cottage or our main home in XXXX. Not one! We have been to our cottage twice in the fall and winter of XXXX. While mail has been delivered there was absolutely nothing from XXXX XXXXComenity Bank. 

To resolve the issue I called Comenity Bank on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. After a series of calls and delayed/overlapping correspondence from them they finally told me they had no information on my credit card and could not help me since the account had been sold to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$340.00} and an associated collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX. 

Comenity Bank lied to me. After the first call I did not hear anything from Comenity. I called twice more. On the second call they told me the cost of the original balance was {$80.00} and I would be sent a letter verifying that was the amount I owed. On the third call they listened to a recording of the previous call to verify what I was told. In written correspondence they said they would research my claim and would take days to resolve it. They never did this. 

It is clear that Comenity and XXXX did not have our address in XXXX  on record. It was not until I opened the dialogue with Comenity that XXXX sent me a letter demanding a deal of a one time payment of {$300.00} for settlement in full against the {$340.00}. Yet they had our XXXX  cottage address. 

In discussions with Comenity they have failed to provide the alleged missing account statements nor have they provided any information on when and where the account statements were mailed. They have washed their hands of the issue. My credit rating has been levelly damaged. There is no reason I would not have paid this bill on receipt of the statement. 

XXXX claims that mail delivery problems are no excuse. I maintain they never sent any statements. XXXX also said that I should have been aware of the outstanding bill much like a mortgage payment. I maintain that I receive monthly statements from all my accounts and that any normal consumer would reasonably expect such service from Comenity Bank and XXXX XXXX. 

I paid the {$300.00} because I feel trapped. 

Comenity Bank is at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ill. XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/2014, I paid a company called XXXX {$1800.00} and on XXXX/XXXX/14 I also paid XXXX {$4900.00} using my Wellsfargo debit card. 
The issue here is that I have been victimized by XXXX and XXXX along with several other companies and their blatant misrepresentations. The fact is that we did not receive what we were guaranteed I received a vague contract and were left to rely on the representative 's integrity. I told the sales person repeatedly that I did n't think we could do this and I were promised repeatedly that they would generate leads and get our business started ; I paid and trusted them only to be left stranded. This is a scam! The " XXXX '' was sold as a " business opportunity ''. I tried several times to get our money back and literally begged ; instead I received different sales people and a new sales pitch. I never received the services that were described at the time of purchase. I have looked into this company since then and found out that they have multiple complaints with the XXXX that sound exactly like our situation. This company has a long record of lying and taking advantage of people just like they did to us. 
Neither company has refunded our money. I contacted the merchant directly to no avail. These are NOT billing disputes. This is a matter of not receiving the products and services that were described to me at the time of purchase. Please have the bank investigate these charges so I can get my money back asap. 
THANK YOUXXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I have spoken with NFCU before as well as made a CFPB complaint on them for reporting the same credit card multiple times to the credit reporting agencies. They agreed to remove the duplicate accounts showing incorrect balances yet when I pulled my XXXX report on XXXX/XXXX/15 they have not done so per XXXX. They are inaccurately reporting a balance of {$7100.00} AND reporting the accurate balance I have been paying on. They need to remove this duplicate from my XXXX report immediately because it is detrimental to my credit score.

Complaint:
The Citizens Bank ATM recognized my debit card and had no problem with my withdrawal, but then failed to return the card, without explanation.

They instead ordered me a new card with a new expiration date. The supervisor XXXX XXXX in Pennsylvania stated that they do not provide replacement cards with the same expiration date.

Complaint:
I received a response from Wells Fargo dated XX/XX/2021, attached hereto. Wells Fargo has failed to answer each of the Facts stated in Affidavit of Truth they received on XX/XX/2021. Wells Fargo failed to pay the Invoice previously sent to compensate me for violations. Wells Fargo has failed to comply with Cease and Desist previously sent which requires Wells Fargo from cease and desisting all forms of communication with me through any and all mediums. Which includes reporting this account to my consumer reports. A consumer report is in fact a medium. Which means it's a communication. So to fulfill the demand of cease and desist, a deletion of the account is required. By Wells Fargo reporting anything, it is a indirect communication.

Complaint:
I had XXXX, then saw ad from XXXX about paying-off contract from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Went to XXXX but had to submit my new cell phone. I paid XXXX amounts of {$96.00} that SAME day before handed the " new '' cellphone. The " new '' cellphone happened to be a refurbished one and to my surprise it never worked. A few days later I called XXXX and explained situation. The representative answer was " My hands are tied, ca n't do anything about that ''. The next step I took was to cancel the account. A month later I received a bill for the month of " service '' that was supposedly used. Again, call XXXX to inquire about the charge and explained about the cancellation ( I had previously ask for a cancellation reference number and was told that they did n't do that ) and that they knew the account was cancelled. Next month ( two months later ) I received another bill for the " service '' they had " provided '' .I did AGAIN the same thing : called XXXX, explain, was given the same " run-around '' excuses and the SAME explanation, " My hands are tied '' ( I 'm sure they have the conversations recorded ). At this point I was ( am ) still extremely XXXX insulted by the business practices of this IMMORAL corporation. I strongly invite you to see my credit scores and history and SEE for yourselves what kind of client I am and most of all, my moral character when it comes business practices and how I deal with my financial responsibilities. At this point I still feel I owe nothing to the immorals at XXXX and actually I'AM the one something is owed to. At this time I want to offer my gratitude for your time in helping unravel this situation. Thanks and feel free to contact me at my e-mail.
