Consumer complaint received 2024-01-17
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I recently received a new card and noticed a new account has been set up. However, I have seen that you are still adding a balance of XXXX to the new client 's account from the account that has been involved in fraud. I want to clarify that this entire balance does not belong to me, and I have disputed this multiple times. I would like you to resolve this issue immediately. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX Sent from my XXXX On XX/XX/2023, at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX wrote : I can not believe I had to request a new card, and you had the one that has been compromised open and still accessible. This is an instance. This still needs to be resolved, the balance removed, and a new card account number issued. 


I XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   sent the email below a week ago, thinking my account was handled as it was then. I then got a message the case was closed, but I was responsible for a balance transfer, and they added that back to my account. This is not our balance transfer ; again, fraud was on this account left and right, and you keep closing it, opening it, and allowing fraud. None of the charges, including balance transfer, are my responsibility. This was already over, and you cleared it, but now you have added it back. I have your letter stating this is not my responsibility and would be corrected with all the credit bureaus, but that still needs to be done. The balance transfer needs to be removed. This is not mine and does not belong to me. You had it removed and now added it back. I have sent the hospital stay and permanent XXXX  documents under my care, and I was incapacitated during that time. I had no way for this to occur, which was not ours. You issued the proper credits but recently added the balance transfer, which needs to be removed. We received what we now understand was a fraudulent text message claiming to be Wells Fargo and that the account was hacked or used at that time. It has been past the allowable time to resolve this issue, and I was told it was decided numerous months ago, but it has not been. I was told a new account and card would be issued. 

Please confirm this has been done. I have been in the hospital and will be until the next month. I would like to know if this is handled and resolved before then. 

The violations are still occurring, and I'm receiving collections, letters, and emails for balances that are separate and continue messages. If unresolved, I have reported the violation to CFPB and will report it to the XXXX XXXX  This has gone on long enough now and needs to be handled better. I have been a loyal and longtime customer, which has been a challenging and stressful situation that I feel has been mishandled.
