Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

On or about XX/XX/XXXX my son, husband and I opened a business checking account with a Wells Fargo representative via telephone. We submitted required documents via XXXX ( including all of our driver 's licenses ). We were notified that the application process was complete and we began receiving deposits and paying bills from this account on a regular basis. In XXXX we were notified that they did not have acceptable documents on file to verify my identity and that I would have to go to a branch office with ID. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Wells Fargo customer service immediately to ask what the issue was and to tell them the closest branch office was XXXX XXXX hours away. They were not able to explain why suddenly there was a problem. After XXXX hours, being disconnected 3 times and going through 4 levels of customer service I finally spoke with someone who reached out to a branch manager at the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( apparently this is where our account that was opened over the phone resides ). I was told I could fax my ID to this branch. I did so at XXXX p.m. on XX/XX/XXXX and have in my possession transmission confirmation. I also tried, unsuccessfully to contact that branch by phone but could not get through. On XX/XX/XXXX we logged into our account and discovered it was closed. A payment we made the night before did not go through and our {$1600.00} balance was not available to us. After several calls to WF customer service, I spoke to XXXX XXXX. She reached out to the XXXX XXXX branch, they were unable to say why my profile was not updated when the fax was received on XX/XX/XXXX. I faxed the information again on XX/XX/XXXX ( with proof of the transmission ), expecting that Wells Fargo would be able to reverse their errors and get the account reopened that day. Instead, I was told it would take 24-48 hours for the back office to update after the branch uploaded the documentation. XXXX tried to get through to the branch via phone to confirm they received the fax, but was unable. A complaint was opened, but today is XX/XX/XXXX my account is still closed and my money is unavailable to me. Everyone I spoke to said due to their " protocols '', there was nothing they could do to get my account reopened right away, despite the fact that they closed it due to their own errors. So far I've received a note from consumer advocacy that they've received my concerns on XXXX and then today I received notice from WF that my account is closed! This is unimaginable to me. They clearly mishandled my account with their repeated errors and have done nothing to rectify this with the urgency it deserved. I adamantly believe that both the XXXX XXXX branch and the consumer advocacy department need to be held accountable and that no one else should have to experience this.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

Contacted TransUnion on XX/XX/2020. My FICO Score was XXXX. A key factor affecting my FICO score, according to TransUnion, is that I do not have any loan activity. This is inaccurate. I have a mortgage loan ( which TransUnion fails to report ) and a line of credit ( which TransUnion also fails to report ). When asked why they fail to report both loans, they stated the loan company was not paying TransUnion to report my loans. SInce TransUnion does not correctly report my information, TU should not be reporting my FICO Score nor stating there is no loan activity when there clearly is loan activity. If TransUnion wants to report on me, it needs to be accurate.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the XXXX whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In XXXX responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than XXXX years, or both.

Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Urgent Complaint Regarding Fraudulent XXXX XXXX  Account : Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a persistent issue regarding a fraudulent XXXX account that has plagued my credit profile for some time now. Despite numerous attempts to rectify the situation, the account remains active, causing significant distress and financial harm. I have reported this XXXX Bank account multiple times as fraudulent, yet to no avail. Explaining that my identity was stolen in XXXX without my knowledge, the perpetrator even files taxes for XXXX and XXXX under my name. I had to go to IRS to verify my identity for this as well. Regrettably, the account continues to linger on my credit profile, adversely affecting my financial standing. During their investigation, XXXX XXXX provided erroneous information to XXXX and XXXX, claiming that the aforementioned account is mine without sending documentation of findings of verification. This misinformation not only exacerbates the situation but also serves to highlight the severity of identity XXXX associated with this account. I urge you to intervene promptly and take necessary actions to address this matter. It is imperative that the fraudulent XXXX XXXX account be removed from my credit profile immediately, and appropriate measures be taken to rectify the damage caused. Furthermore, I request a thorough investigation into XXXX Bank practices regarding identity verification and account handling to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. 

I called XXXX Bank on XXXX to get there respond to this matter, and the representative was as confused as me. She informed me the address they have on file XXXX XXXX which is not my address and I have never lived at this residence. My name is also spelled wrong " XXXX '' is what XXXX XXXX has on file and the correct spelling is " XXXX '' she claimed it was a typo but that doesn't justify it not being correct, and the last thing that verifies this is a fraudulent account is the email that is on file of XXXX which is also not my email. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution.Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

My fianc at the time bought the house in XXXX, MN together and we were both listed equally as borrowers for the loan, then we got married and in 2015 we had our divorce finalized. I let her keep the house and the very large amount of equity that went along with it. My plan the entire time was to live in it for 5 years or so then sell it for a significant profit. It is now worth well over {$100000.00} more than we paid, I paid the full mortgage myself and all the closing costs and escrow associated with the purchase. I made improvements and I paid the mortgage even after we split up and I moved out. 2 full years of monthly payments is about {$25000.00} plus another {$10000.00} of costs from the sale is over {$30000.00} of real money I put in that I lost from the divorce. The court was being completely female biased and I didnt do anything in the relationship to cause any unfair treatment but I sure got it. They awarded her the house outright as long as she takes over payments its 100 % hers but I dont get removed from the loan? Thats not right. I lost {$35000.00} of money I invested in the property AND the percentage of equity that I should be due that is about pay off and she got a free house. Literally everything paid for for her. Meanwhile Im stuck with almost {$200000.00} of debt on my credit report and I have been destroyed by that. I cant get a car loan or buy a new house because of that debt that is no longer associated with me at all. Its been 8 years since I lived there. She has since remarried and has XXXX  kids by another man and I cant help but wonder why they are not putting his name on and taking mine off. I dont know how people could look ar the situation and conclude that I should remain on the hook for the loan that I have lost 10s of thousands of dollars to and she has made climbing near to {$200000.00} in potential revenue from a sale. Theres only 2 fair outcomes for this situation. One removed my name from that loan and that loan amount from my credit report right away or she needs to sign paperwork for giving me a percentage of the profit when a sale happens because I have had no financial freedom because of this and have not been able to actually really start over again because of the amount of debt in my name. Im not trying to take money from her I just want this off my report so I can buy a house or car and finally have a chance. I have years of damages from this and it needs to be handled properly.
