Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO)

I have XXXX had until yesterday XXXX a Dillard 's credit card, which is administered by Wells Fargo. I generally have paid my bill for Dillard 's online, and have typically received an email confirming my electronic payment. This month, Wells Fargo also sent a letter by mail to confirm scheduling an electronic payment. 

On XXXX I called Wells fargo to request that they not mail a confirmation to me in the future, to stop sending paper, and was told by a supervisor XXXX XXXX XXXX that by law they have to send both an email and a hard copy letter. 

I asked why they are held to different standards than other credit card companies ( this is Wells Fargo XXXX. My accounts with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX all confirm my payments by email - they do not also mail confirmations. Wells Fargo insisted that all credit card companies also have to mail confirmations every time an electronic payment is made, and that this is mandated by law. This made me question why I do n't receive these from my other credit card companies. 

I was curious whether this was true - so researched further. What I learned, and then confirmed on XXXX with a different Wells Fargo supervisor ( XXXX XXXX, that this is not law, but simply Wells Fargo policy. Wells Fargo chooses to mail me a physical confirmation every time a transaction takes place. 

The law only requires that a credit card company mail to me the first time I pay online. For Wells Fargo, the only paper I can request to stop is the delivery of credit card statements and catalogs. 

I told the supervisor that I happily forgo the pleasure of carrying a Dillard 's card in order to avoid the paper. 

I did n't like the lie told to me by the first supervisor - until questioned further, the supervisor claimed this as law, not policy. Big difference.

I just received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise, I noticed that my right to privacy has been violated. By no means have I given you any permission to report non-public personal information without written consent. Nor have I provided any financial institution, or third party ( collection agencies ) authority to obtain any information. 

In regards to 15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( c ) Limits on reuse of information Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a nonaffiliated third party that receives from a financial institution nonpublic personal information under this section shall not, directly or through an affiliate of such receiving the third party, disclose such information to any other person that is a nonaffiliated third party of both the financial institution and such receiving the third party, unless such disclosure would be lawful if made directly to such other person by the financial institution. 

I do not consent to any third party obtaining non-personal information without my knowledge or notice. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was enacted to protect the confidential information on consumers ' credit reports from misuse, fraud, and theft. It gives consumers the right to ensure that the information on their credit reports is not only correct but private. 

Also in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681a Definitions ; rules of construction, ( 2 ) ( C ) any report in which a person who has been requested by a third party to make a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly to a consumer conveys his or her decision with respect to such request, if the third party advises the consumer of the name and address of the person to whom the request was made, and such person makes the disclosures to the consumer required under section 1681m of this title.

They froze the account. I called to find out what happened. The rep told me " my account no longer qualified for phone support. I am going to have to end this call ''. THEY HUNG UP ON ME. I kept calling bc I could n't believe it. I called the next day and got a " this number is out of service '' message. I 've my friend call & she gets right through. They blocked my number using a fake out of service message. They blocked me from the support site with a fake " we broke the internet '' page. ( see we broke the internet vs everything 's fine attachments ) What did I do to deserve having my money stolen? Who knows? But it is not just me, I found 10 more cases. They promote themselves as being human goodness but this is the most hateful, disrespectful, offensive company ever. I could n't pay my rent I am up to {$400.00} in late fees and pray I do n't get evicted. I have another {$250.00} in late fees from my other bills.

Nope, I was accepted. They have also lied to the XXXX saying they could not talk to them because of my privacy rights. There is nothing in the privacy agreement that prevents them from talking or me waiving my right.

XXXX, XXXX and especially XXXX I've been filing disputes via online, over the phone and sending dispute letters since XXXX of XXXX, XXXX of XXXX, up to the present day of XX/XX/XXXX. Every time I filed disputes for inaccuracies like Charged off accounts which the company must file a 1099-C debt cancellation reporting it as income in the amounts of {$230.00} ( lead Bank ) XXXX {$350.00} ( XXXX ) XXXX {$530.00} ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$250.00} ( Self ), {$280.00} ( Open sky ) which was a {$2000.00} secured card, {$450.00} XXXX XXXX, CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORP {$26000.00} was a breach of contract coercing me to sign the contract they way they wanted me to or else they wasn't going to sell me the vehicle knowing I needed one for my personal, family and household needs. And since the companies in question are reporting these charged off accounts as income they no longer should be on my credit report. and so the credit bureaus refuse to correct these errors as if they are deliberately ignoring my request. They never in the history of me filing disputes sent me verifiable and validated proof of any debts and will not even remove them one time in good faith. I've experienced severe financial hardships I suffered constant denial of credit because of this unresolved matter over the years of communicating with these bureaus Especially Experian. I've also requested them to remove non-mailable addresses from my credit report and they said they would but when I went back to check my report the address were still there, so they lied to me. That's why a question their motives, authenticity and what they stand to gain or lose by making these simple corrections on my report. It even got to a point where I wasn't allowed to dispute some inaccurate any further. I think they are engaging in unfair and deceptive practices and have violated my consumer rights time and time and time again. I've pointed out to them that they have violate the FCRA, FDCPA, ECOA and the CCPA and they seem to be unfazed by these violations. A few of these third party debt collectors I have absolutely no business or contract with. And I don't have the time to go back and forth with these bureaus. That's why I'm filing this complaint because I NEVER got ANYWHERE corresponding with these credit bureaus. I feel targeted and discriminated against. I also put the parties involved on expressed notice that I had a priority lien and beneficial security interest in the Debtors property including my Trade Name. They ignored everything I conveyed to them verbally and in writing. see attached.

I had an account with XXXX XXXX that has been closed since 2017. I checked my credit reports and noticed that they are reporting that I am 30 days late on this account. I contacted the credit bureaus and they failed to fix the issue. I also reached out to XXXX XXXX and they too failed to fix it and sends me the same letter over and over again. This is stressing me out because the late is being re-reported each month and won't go away and the account has been closed for 6 years. I am consulting with a consumer rights attorney on this because the bureaus won't fix the issue.
