Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MN)

I work internationally as a XXXX in XXXX. My school provides us with a large bonus of {$7100.00} XXXX or {>= $1,000,000} XXXX, which is a significant amount of my salary in XXXX. The money was deposited into my XXXX bank account on XXXX, XXXX. I went to the bank with a representative of my school and a few other teachers to wire transfer the money to our USA bank accounts so we can use our money while home for the holidays. I performed the transfer at my bank in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). I was informed during this time that my bank. XXXX XXXX XXXX, did not have a XXXX code so we would need to go through an intermediary bank, which was XXXX but that I should receive the money within the next 2 days in my account. Needless to say the money has not arrived into my account at XXXX. Currently I am home in Minnesota for the holidays, extremely stressed out and financially broke. The money was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX to first convert the XXXX to XXXX, then XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX. XXXX has tracked the money to XXXX. The transfer has not been rejected or cancelled. I have called and also have personally visited both XXXX and XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX says that they are unable to do anything because they are only the receiving party but they did verify that the bank name, routing number, and my account number for XXXX was correct. I have personally visited XXXX which indicated that their swift code was correct and told me they can not help any further. I have called XXXX they have refused to do anything to help, stating that they can not verify me as authentic communication and they have not taken any action to look into this matter, even though I have identification when visiting a XXXX branch personally. I do not have an account with XXXX. XXXX says they can investigate but for a price, which I will initiate if necessary. XXXX is holding my money unethically and should process the transfer or reject it so it is sent back into my account in XXXX. XXXX is unjustly holding onto my money benefiting for the interest it is gaining. I am in extreme emotional distress. This is a significant portion of my salary, that I have been depending on, and its XXXX time. I really hope this situation can be solved very soon. I have the information and paperwork from the transfer available upon request.

Honestly I think this a problem caused by both the credit reporting bureaus and XXXX XXXX the mortgage company reporting to them I have tried to fix the problem with all of 3 credit bureaus and the mortgage company. I am literally in the middle of a new home purchase, In doing so I got credit reports in preparation to apply for financing. I found XXXX   XXXX XXXX mistakenly reported my mortgage, which they serviced from XX/XX/XXXX to roughly XX/XX/XXXX as delinquent XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I reached out to XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX with more than 15 pages of documentation..SEE ATTACHED XXXX  Letter Dated XX/XX/XXXX here, confirming they MISTAKENLY reported my loan delinquent in error forXX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXXand would be correcting with credit bureaus "this month" (implying XX/XX/XXXX) I contacted credit reporting bureaus immediately - XXXX, XXXX, Equifax. I was told that even though I had a letter from XXXX that no correction or update on this could be made unless and until received DIRECTLY from XXXX   XXXX. I wen back to XXXX XXXX many many times, by phone, fax and email. I learned eventually XXXX  submits to the credit bureau. Eventually I was told XXXX  had submitted tot he credit reporting bureaus XX/XX/XXXX, then changed to XX/XX/XXXX. I have contacted credit reporting agencies almost daily all say they have not received anything from XXXX and XXXX keeps insisting they have submitted the correction and that "there is nothing more we can do." In turn the credit reporting bureaus keep sending back to XXXX   saying they have no record of the correction and removal of these mistaken delinquencies. In desperation I finally submitted the XXXX letter directly to the credit bureaus. Then was told If they hear nothing from XXXX  in 30 days matter will be resolved in my favor. By then I will have lost my attempt to apply for financing and my real estate purchase. Decisions on whether to approve a consumer for a loan application and at what interest rate and for what term all hinge on credit reports which for me currently reflect, in error, a major mortgage delinquency with XXXX XXXX

Dear XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX ; How are you doing during this pandemic? Hoping that youre safe and sound. Listen, I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report today and found late payment on my credit report and {$18000.00} balance for this account from XXXX XXXX. I got into a car accident a couple of months ago and my insurance and gap insurance said that they already paid off this debt. So why is it still reporting delinquent remarks and inconsistent with the data. You continue to report incorrect, inaccurate, and erroneous information and i want this deleted from my credit effective now. It's my understanding that you are required to keep valid, and 100 % accurate information about me into your system, but i can tell you that you're wrong and unverifiable information because i'm not liable for this account. Delete now
