Consumer complaint received 2023-05-02
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

Dear XXXX, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX and Wells Fargo regarding their handling of an international wire transfer I initiated on XX/XX/2023. I wired funds to XXXX XXXX XXXX 's account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX in XXXX, for the purchase of an apartment in XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, to this day ( XX/XX/2023 ), the money has not been received by XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX  has confirmed they have not received the funds. 

Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, including requesting the money to be recalled and returned to me, Wells Fargo informed me that XXXX in XXXX XXXX, the intermediary bank, was holding the money and conducting an investigation. However, the nature of that investigation remains unknown to me. I filed a formal complaint through your office ( Complaint ID XXXX ) against Wells Fargo XXXX XX/XX/2023. Wells Fargo responded to my concerns on XX/XX/2023, stating they had reached out to XXXX four times with no response, the case remains open. On XX/XX/2023, Wells Fargo informed me they had made three attempts to confirm credit, but there was no response from the beneficiary bank, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX As a result, the letter stated that Wells Fargo would close the file, and no further action would be taken, which is unacceptable. 

I called the Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, and requested them to reopen the case. However, they advised me to contact XXXX directly since XXXX was ignoring the interbank Swift messages sent by Wells Fargo. I am not a XXXX client, and I believe it is not my responsibility to resolve this issue. This is a matter that should be resolved by the two banks, XXXX and Wells Fargo and not left to an individual to directly resolve by following up with a bank of which they are not a client. 

Due to this long delay, I am unsure if I will be able to purchase my apartment as agreed upon with the seller. This has caused me considerable emotional distress. Wells Fargo and XXXX have yet to provide a clear explanation as to why my hard-earned money is still being held and not returned to me. I suspect that the banks are ignoring me and not taking my complaints seriously, possibly because I am a minority. 

The mismanagement of this wire transaction demonstrates a profound sense of arrogance and disregard for professional courteousness. Therefore, I am seeking a full refund of the wired amount ( {$33000.00} ), as well as compensation for any additional expenses incurred as a result of Wells Fargo and XXXX 's negligence. 
I hope that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can assist me in resolving this matter in a timely and satisfactory manner. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Hello Sir/Madam, I recently viewed my credit report and noticed an incorrect or inaccurate report from a consumer reporting agency that I had a 30-day late payment with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I have contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX by phone, and they told me to dispute this with all 3 credit bureau reporting agencies. This account has always been paid on time and has never been late since XX/XX/XXXX, and have attached a copy of my payment records. The consumer reporting agency needs to report all information with complete accuracy. Therefore, I am now requesting you investigate this account and update these payments to be paid on time immediately. Thank you for your understanding, and respectfully I look forward to your immediate action.

I have submitted disputes to the credit reporting agency for late payments to be removed from my credit report due to an error on the creditors part. The credit bureau reporting agencies have failed to look into this and remove the late payments. I recently received a letter from XXXX XXXX regarding the late payments being removed and they stated that they indeed have notified the credit reporting agencies of the changes that need to be made yet they have not updated my credit report to reflect this.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to the account listed above with XXXX XXXX XXXX This is the third time addressing this matter, After reviewing my credit report, I found several discrepancies that I believe warrant immediate attention and correction. 

1. Reported Balance vs. Charge-Off Amount : The account shows a reported balance of {$0.00}, while also indicating a charge-off amount of {$990.00}. This inconsistency is misleading and creates confusion regarding the actual status of my account. 

2. Inconsistent Payment History : While the last payment was made in XX/XX/XXXX, the account continues to reflect a charge-off status and lists ongoing delinquencies through XXXX. This does not align with the standard reporting practices. 

3. Date of First Delinquency : The account states a date of first delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX, which conflicts with the last payment date. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of the reported delinquency date. 

4. Inaccurate Delinquency Reporting : Despite the account being closed in XX/XX/XXXX, it shows ongoing delinquencies from XXXX to XXXX. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information must be removed after a certain period, and this reporting is clearly in violation of that law. 

5. Lack of Clarity in Reporting Terms : The account indicates a terms frequency of " MONTHLY '', but the activity designator is vague, labeled as " TRANSFER_OR_SOLD. '' This lack of clarity can lead to further misunderstandings regarding the account 's current status. 

6. Inaccurate Account Closure Date : The account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, yet ongoing charge-offs and delinquencies beyond this date suggest significant errors in the reporting period. 

Given the aforementioned discrepancies, I respectfully request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report. This is my third attempt to resolve this matter, and I believe it is crucial for accurate information to be reflected in my credit history. 

Please conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and update me on the outcome as soon as possible. I have enclosed copies of relevant documents supporting my dispute for your review. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
