Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

I have an account with Wells Fargo. It is a checking account. I dont have any special situations or deposits that come through other than cash deposits. I have some recurrent payments that randomly pop my account throughout the month. Over the last year Ive noticed so dramatic change in my account, and its ability to report available balances.over the past couple months its even gotten worse and Ive seen that the available balance will be dramatically off. The bank is pushing and trying to blame on its customers saying that we should be keeping an accurate account of our accounts. Over the past couple months its even gotten worse and Ive seen that the available balance will be dramatically off. The bank is pushing and trying to place blame on its customers saying that we should be keeping an accurate account of our accounts. But isnt that what I bank is for. It is their job. I have opted out of overdraft protection multiple times with the bank. For some reason they keep allowing these overdraft charges. Ive been not ever authorize the charge that I did have the money to pay for. If I didnt authorize the charge, then who did Wells Fargo consider that fraud myself. I dont wan na pay an overdraft fee for Wells Fargo , paying for a bill that I didnt have the money for it to begin with. Wells Fargo needs to be held accountable for this. Its getting ridiculous. Im looking at my account being negative almost {$400.00} and I would never have spent that money. It was merely debit transactions These should be instantly posted on the account. I dont know why they keep allowing merchants to hold these pending things, but the bank gets notified the moment the merchant Hits a payment and they need to start. Actively renewing some sort of log to make this more live and the available balance needs to get corrected immediately. I was told when I called on the phone to discuss this with them that they know the available balance portion of their online banking stuff has had issues over the last several months. So why should I pay for that. I would never have authorize those charges if I wouldve known that I didnt have the money to pay for them. These banks are stealing from us

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Pinnacle Asset Management, LLC (NJ)

The company that has called me is Pinnacle Asset Management. They have stated that I owe a debt for a payday loan. However, I have never taken out a payday loan with the company that they are claiming they represent. When I asked for evidence that the debt is valid they refused and only stated that I have had a letter sent to my home. I have not received any such letter nor have I received an email which they also claim they sent. When I contacted the rep to request that they validate the debt with either the original contact information of the creditor or by providing me with documentation showing that I signed off the " loan '' they refused to comply and stated that they did n't have to do that since they were the mediator. The rep name XXXX then proceeded to insult me by calling me professional debtor. He then pulled up my linked in account and proceeded to read off the information on my linked in account and threatened to contact the people in my list by telling them that I was a professional debtor. He then hung up on me and would not pick up my calls afterward. Another rep was calling my mother and other friends and family.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
