My son stole checks from us ( Wells Fargo Checking Account ) and cashed them into his Wells Fargo Checking account. The checks were NOT SIGNED and the " To '' Field was NOT FILLED OUT. He deposited them at an Wells Fargo ATM. A total of XXXX checks for a total amount of {$4600.00} over a period of over a months were cashed. Wells Fargo did not flag or return any of these checks despite the obvious deficiencies ( see attached file for a copy of the checks ). When I talked to Wells Fargo about this, they said that the ATM is just a machine and can not verify checks, that there are too many checks cashed every day at ATM 's for Wells Fargo to verify them and that it is up to the account owner to catch any deficiencies. We also field a fraud claim with Wells Fargo, which was denied based on the fact that we are signers on both accounts ( our and as parents on the teen checking account ). 
I understand that my son 's action are my responsibility and I agree with the reasoning for denying the fraud claim - after all, if the bank tried to recover the money from him, it would have to come from us since he does n't have any ... However, I have a serious issue with a bank shrugging off the responsibility for reviewing checks. If they chose to delegate check acceptance to a machine ( ATM ), they need to put the same controls in place that they have at the counter. No teller would have accepted a check without a signature, a check without a " to '' field, a check without a date or a check where the number and word amount does not match - yet for an ATM to accept them and no-one reviewing them afterwards is supposed to be acceptable? Our son tried writing several small checks first and when they went through the system without raising any flags, he followed with more and bigger checks. If the bank had caught the clearly incomplete checks within 5-10 business days, we would have been alerted and could have stopped it right then. This would have limited our losses to {$750.00} and would have meant a misdemeanor charge for our son. Because the bank continued to honor these checks with no review whatsoever, he continued to write them and our losses went up to {$4600.00} before we caught it on our bank statement and our son now faces felony charges.

During XXXX period of unemployment I was kicked out of a pmt plan to try to catch up because I did n't submit XXXX pmt on the XXXX.That cancellation consequence was n't disclosed to me. Wells Fargo told me I could apply for a modification in XXXX. I submitted my application and I had n't gotten much help from my agent. I submitted EVERYTHING that was required of me. They said that I was denied approval due to afforability and because I had already gotten a modification in XX/XX/XXXX. It was actually XXXX that I had gotten my modification. I appealed their decision with an updated decrease in income because I had a non-borrower contributor lose his job ; my husband. Also, I had a slight increase in expenses which does not allow for affordability. During the review process I was told that everything was on hold and to try and save my payments to pay at a later date. During the 7-month period I had another season of unemployment, birth of a child, and a XXXX for my child and for myself. These circumstances dipped into the savings i was able to retain. In XXXX they denied me and told me I was 8 mths behind and that i SHOULD have been paying all along. I had misinformation, inconsistent information, and had to speak to all different agents other than the XXXX assigned to me. I may have spoken to the agent assigned to my case XXXX or XXXX times. He never answered the phone. He never returned a call within 48 hours. I would get letters stating receipt of documentation usually. I would always have to call someone to find out what i needed next. Usually a lot of time had already elapsed be requests were n't made known ahead of time. They denied my appeal and now have me in a suspended forclosure status. I am waiting on a reinstatement quote letter that should have been ordered XXXX. I am still appealing their decision based on the 24-month modication rule i read upon and the affordability aspect.

In XXXX, I had an insurance claim. The check was sent to Wells Fargo. On the check was Wells Fargo and my name XXXX XXXX. From the beginning, they made it hard. Wanting to pay the contractors in XXXX installments made it difficult to find someone to agree. Finally, after 9 months they agreed that it could be done in XXXX installments. At that point, I had a XXXX and told them that I could not do it. XXXX XXXX agreed to tear the whole roof off and replace slate with tile. that needed to go through the Historical Society. Someone fixed the roof and I asked if I could be paid because I fixed the ceiling. I was told to submit the request, later to be told no because I was in bankruptcy. XXXX another storm hits and the insurance company told me that I needed to prove that the first claim was fixed. Therefore, I could not remember and went through the phone book. Later my insurance agent told me the reason why I did not know who fixed the ceiling was because Wells Fargo had it fixed. That they had requested a list of contractors stating that I was incompetent. My insurance agent said XXXX you would have had to sign the check. I told her that I had never seen a check. Therefore, I called Wells Fargo at least XXXX times always to be told that someone was going to do research and get back with me. XXXX person did I missed his call and called him back without any response. I have told Wells Fargo repeatedly that it is raining in my home ; XXXX ceilings have come down in the bedrooms. The wood floors are warped. The water has moved to spill the ceiling in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. I have not resided there because it rains like a tsunami in the house. XXXX of XXXX this week I finally after going to the corporate office of the insurance company received an email with a copy of the check that was deposited by Wells Fargo with my signature forged. They received the check XXXX XXXX, XXXX signed my name XXXX XXXX, XXXX and sent a check drawn on Wells Fargo to the Bankruptcy Court in the Trustees name who in turn paid them as creditors. The sad thing is that all this time they worded our conversations as if the insurance check was sent to the Trustees. Wells Fargo did not send the insurance check to the Trustees. This week I sent the copy of the check to the trustees and was informed that they had never seen the check and provided me with a copy of the one send to them. Now my house still 2 years later is unlivable. Also the insurance did give me a check to fix the carriage house but Wells Fargo place an insurance deductible of XXXX. When I ask the insurance agent was the XXXX deductible still available when the placed the insurance on the house she said absolutely. Wells Fargo tried to convince me that it was the insurance companies doing.

Mortgage Loan Number XXXX In 2003, my wife XXXX and I received a mortgage for {>= $1,000,000} at 6.5 % interest from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Company. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Company promised they would refinance our mortgage when the mortgage interest decreased by 2 % or more. Since inception of our loan, we were denied numerous times by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Company to refinance our mortgage. They have used the following illegal tactics to avoid refinancing : 1. Refusal to accept written applications for mortgage refinance. Instead, will only accept verbal applications ( Inquiry ). Thereby, covering their trails of mortgage refinance denials. 
2. Listing refinance denials as application withdrawals to disguise mortgage refinance denials. 
3. Company management purposely put into place a plan to deny refinancing of jumbo mortgage loans, with the intent to exhort the excess mortgage payments to increase company profits, and executive bonuses. 
4. Company management purposely put into place a plan to cancel all jumbo mortgage loans held by racial minorities considering these loans as unacceptable risks ( Received this information from a confidential source within the company ). 
5. Company management purposely put into place a plan to deny refinance of all jumbo mortgage considered " Under Water '' ( Appraised Value considered less than the Mortgage amount owed ) We paid our mortgage loan on time ( never late ) every month for over a decade. But, could not get Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Company to refinance our loan until they had exhorted over a half million dollars from us. Then, they only agreed because we continued to write to their Board Of Directors complaining of their unfair and illegal practices. 

We are requesting Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Company be required to refund all of our excess mortgage payments with interest equivalent to the return of the XXXX during the same period.

In 2005 I refinanced my home with a interest only loan. The terms were 10 years interest only at 5.5 % what I did n't realize was that after the 10 yea years it turned into a 5 year loan at 5.5 %. My payment has gone from {$1800.00} per month to {$5900.00} per month. I had figured out what was happ- ening two years ago. My mortgage is with Wells Fargo and is serviced by XXXX America 's servicing Co . So in the last 2 years I have made numerous attempts to refinance and or modify. Wells Fargo rejected me twice for the mod after lengthy processes saying I was not in financial distress and suggested being delinquent for 3 months which I refused to do. 
have also tried to refi with them 4 times and was rejected because of income. Unfortunately my son XXXX 3 years ago and I stopped working for a year and a half. So being self employed they need 2 years of income history to refi. Is this legal?

After submitting no less than XXXX disputes to Equifax they are still reporting a debt that has been deleted by both XXXX and XXXX, as the date of last activity on the account was XX/XX/XXXX and seven years have passed. Equifax has not supplied me with any documentation supporting their XX/XX/XXXX date of last activity. I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was told they can no longer access my account records. Equifax 's own payment history chart reflects that the XX/XX/XXXX date is correct, yet they have stated on the phone that they are using the XX/XX/XXXX date because that was the date supplied to them. They have provided me with no documentation to support their XX/XX/XXXX date. Equifax only directs me to " follow up with the creditor '' because they " have no authority to delete the entry '' as they merely report information. When asked to provide documentation regarding their multiple investigations into this issue, I was told " the creditor confirmed the date is accurate '' and " you have to go through the creditor.
