Consumer complaint received 2015-07-08
Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MD)

I have been denied access to making payments online for my Wells Fargo HomeEquity line. I have been attempting access since XXXX XXXX. Was told that myaccount shows a previous Bankruptcy filing so I will never have online access. MyChapter XXXX Payment Plan Bankruptcy filing was discharged in XXXX XXXX ( sevenmonths ago ). The Chapter XXXX was filed in XXXX. This account has been paid asit should for the last 5 years and was not a part of the Chapter XXXX payment plan. 
I have attempted numerous times to request online access. In addition, my XXXXmortgage is with Wells Fargo and I have always had online access. I cannotunderstand why there would be XXXX separate processes within the same company. 
In addition, it is a hardship for me to have to call and wait " on hold '' time and timeagain each month to make a payment " over the phone '' when I could just as easilymake a payment in a couple of seconds online. I find this is an unfair practiceespecially since I met all the requirements under my Chapter XXXX Payment Planand paid this account every month. Based on the current Wells Fargo HomeEquity policy, I am forever penalized/banned from having online access to make asimple online payment because I filed Chapter XXXX. ( Even though I met all thefinancial payments on this account which, by the way, was not handled under theChapter XXXX Plan ). In addition, in my attempts to get online access, I was givenvarious responses on how to get access and I complied with each process that Iwas given. Here are my notes:XX/XX/XXXX Spoke with online services regarding getting online access. They sent me back to regular customer service. Was told that account should be viewable in 3 days.

Spoke with XXXX ( XXXX ) in the Bankruptcy Dept. She submitted arequest to review the account for a status update so the Bankruptcy flag can beremoved. Requested that the loan be removed from Bankruptcy in order for online access. Requested that I check back by Monday of next week.
