Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CT)

Capital One has refused to protect my credit card ( MasterCard ) from fraud. An online company charged my credit card more than a dozen times, more than {$2000.00}, without my authorization and after I had expressly forbade them to do so in an email. This continued for three months, XXXX through XXXX, 2015. First I demanded that they close my account, and they said they would, but charges continued to come on my credit card account, so obviously they kept my account open against my wishes. I demanded they close the account three times by telephone, and they blocked my account online so I could n't close it myself. I reported this to Capital One, and asked them to block payment to this company, but they refused to do that, which would have solved the problem the very first time a new charge came through. As an alternative, they offered to refund my account, and asked for documentation for my claim. I gave them written emails and pages from the online company 's website which proved that I had ordered them to cease charging me two months earlier, and I refuted with documentation every lie that this fraudulent online company countered with. But Capital One refused to protect my credit card from fraud. I had to cancel my credit card number to stop the online company finally, and now I have cancelled my Capital One account altogether. They do not care about their customers, and anyone who accepts a credit card from them will regret it. Capital One will not protect you against fraud.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Wells Fargo loan consultant did not advise me to keep making payments on my existing loan until the new loan went through. When I applied for the refi with WF on XXXX XXXX, I had just made a payment on the existing loan 2 days before. Today I got a nasty gram from WF in email saying my XXXX payment was overdue. Not only that, but the reason the refi is taking so long is that Wells Fargo does not know how to work with condos and the insurance policy, even though other banks do I think routinely. And with this whole insurance thing, I had to contact all kinds of parties outside of the bank and yell and scream until Wells Fargo made an effort to work on the loan. The mortgage consultant had sent me a rejection letter prior to that because he could not find folks in his bank to work the loan.

Product: Prepaid card — General purpose card
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

Half a year or so ago, my American Express XXXX XXXX account was hacked and used for fraudulent activities. 

{$500.00} was on my account at the beginning of the fraudulent activity. On the first day, the perpetrator used my credit card account which was linked to the OneVIP Serve account to transfer a daily maximum of {$200.00}. Afterwords, he/she withdrew the money as an " Unauthorized transaction '' ( the money went to an account to the name which I do not have any recollection of, seen when I logged-in at a later date ). The next day, {$200.00} was transferred to Serve using the credit card and then withdrawn into the the same unknown name as an unauthorized transaction. At this point, I logged in and found out my account was being targeted for fraud. I called XXXX to gain access to my account ( email, password, & personal information were changed ), remove my credit card from the account, then called XXXX again to submit a fraud claim. I did not receive any notification or alerts when the perpetrator changed nearly all of my account information. 

An American Express Serve account representative has told me that the transactions were valid and that they can not recoup my losses.They have closed my account as the representative told me it was standard procedure when a fraudulent activity report is denied. 

At this point, {$400.00} has been returned to me by the credit card company ( XXXX XXXX ) for the two unauthorized transactions of {$200.00} each. XXXX is unwilling to recoup the {$500.00} I lost from the unauthorized transactions. I have submitted a CFPB complaint a few months ago and no resolution has come.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

My husband and I have a mortgage on our home that is serviced by Wells Fargo. The last home appraisal on our house, that was done at the time we re-financed through Wells Fargo, was {$240000.00}. On my XX/XX/XXXX statement, it shows that we have paid that down to {$190000.00} which is over 80 % LTV. So I called Wells Fargo to ask them to remove the PMI charges from my mortgage payment. I was told that I would either have to pay for an appraisal, or pay an additional amount over {$3000.00} in order to bring out LTV ratio up even more and then they would drop our PMI charges. The Homeowner Protection Act XX/XX/XXXX states that I should be able to call the company when I have paid more than 20 % of the equity in my home and the company is then obligated to remove the PMI charge. When I asked to speak to management and brought this up, I got a serious run-around. Then they told me that it could probably be removed, but that they would have to escalate it to some other department at Wells Fargo. When I asked how long that would take, they said it would take 10 days. So I told them I would call the XXXX Consumer Protection Agency the next day, and then they told me that they would get back to me within 48 hours instead of 10 days. This conversation between me and the people I spoke to at Wells Fargo happened less than an hour ago, but I am filing this complaint anyway since I feel this is against the law, and another example of big bank fraudulent activity and abuse.

Had a man from wells Fargo call me the next day on the XXXX and say how sorry he was and he would get working on it right away! He said he would have a decision by XXXX XXXX for me. Today is the XXXX, have n't heard anything from them so I called AGAIN! This time I was told my file had been pulled from review on XXXX XXXX and no more action has been or will be takin on this account. I was also told that they do n't do unemployment forbearance anymore they could only give me a lower payment for 6 months then on the XXXX month I would owe all of the past due balances for those 6 months. I 've been working with them since XXXX XXXX and have gotten nowhere! And does n't look like they ever had any intensions on helping me. I 've had my home for 5 years never missed a payment. And now because my husband got temporarily laid off for a few months seems our only option is bankruptcy. This ca n't be right, there has to be help out there for the American working family.

What was supposed to be a quick, streamline re-fi process has turned into a 4 month nightmare with Wells Fargo and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I started my re-fi process with Wells Fargo in XXXX and it is now XXXX and they are still asking me to re-submit more documents for the third time! They have told me several times " You are conditionally approved and it is going to closing '' yet now four months later we are still no closer to closing, and they are again asking me to resubmit documents that " they ca n't find '', although they were submitted electronically Wow! Can there be that much incompetency in XXXX large lending corporation? After reading the complaints about Wells Fargo, I think there 's more to it and they are using stall tactics. I even contacted the Regional Vice President and once she found out that it was not a commercial loan but a residential loan, I have n't been contacted again. Wells Fargo needs to be investigated and monitored by a government agency immediately!

I 've been with American Express for four years without any financial problems of paying my monthly bill. I still believe this is a fine company. However, what I do n't understand is why my card was suspended recently ( XX/XX/2016-XX/XX/2016 ) until I paid my bill which I had to XX/XX/XXXX to do. However, my problem is are they looking at a certain population of people. What was the reason for my suspension. Out of four years I had this card I paid my account late once by one day,. Due do a mix-up. They never had another problem out of me with a late payment. My problem is the many reasons I was given for the suspension of my card.. Reasons like I charged XXXX on my card and I have not done that in six months. So! I was always told that I do n't per say have a limit. Also, I had just charged {$1300.00} XX/XX/XXXX. Why not the concern then. I glad I was n't trying to pay for something at the time the card went down. If below {$1300.00} is going to be my limit, why not give me that in writing so I will know what not to go over? I discussed with why in XX/XX/XXXX {$1300.00} was alright to charge and in XX/XX/XXXX a very, very, very red flag of sort goes up and now it 's an ALARM? Tell me what I can charge without being suspended?
