Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

On XX/XX/2022, I was having trouble with my new TV and connecting to XXXX through the TV. Like many Americans, I reached for my phone and did a search on XXXX for XXXX customer service. Unbeknownst to me, the XXXX algorithm did not provide me with the actual XXXX customer service, but a number to scammers. 

Again, not knowing they were scammers, I called, and they informed me that there had been a security breach on my account, and that I needed to download an app called XXXX, and before I knew it they had me transfer XXXX cash advances in the amounts of {$2300.00} each ( not including cash advance fees ). Cash advances do NOT appear as pending on an account immediately, and then they had me XXXX the money to someone else. 

I immediately contacted WELLS FARGO and filed a complaint to which they investigated and their response was " We processed these transactions as authorized '' nothing we can do, sorry XXXX. 

I then complained to the XXXX Offices, and once again, I was met with the response " Our position has not changed, we processed the transactions as you authorized. '' Had I known I was being scammed, I would have NEVER authorized this, and this was FRAUD by deception, and I find it ominous that Wells Fargo BENEFITS from not only the cash advance fees but has a stake in XXXX as well. Needless to say, I closed my checking and savings with Wells Fargo, and told them I will never do business with them again, and that XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX would be rolling in their graves if they knew about this... but it fell on deaf ears. 

Help!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MA)

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
