Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

We have a savings account in a trust. The balance is XXXX cents and we want to close it as they keep charging service fees. My father - trustor of the trust- is XXXX, housebound, and legally XXXX. I took the certification of trust naming me as co trustee and a POA over my father into the branch office on XX/XX/XXXX ( took two weeks to get an appointment ) but they said the only way to close is for my father to physically come into a branch. Again, he is XXXX and can not go to a branch. He tried calling but they said he had to come into the branch. He explained he could not physically go to a branch but Wells Fargo doesn't care. I was told they will be charging the account again in 20 days and that if I wanted to come back in to discuss it would take at least 4 weeks to see someone. I told them that we don't care about the XXXX cents we just don't want any fees and want the account closed. Their only solution is for us to figure out how to get my XXXX year old father to a branch. I can not believe that there is no solution for those with XXXX. We don't want the XXXX cents just no more fees. We are at our wits end with this. The agent I met with suggested I go on line to close the account but you can't do that either unless the balance is already XXXX.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Colony Brands, Inc. (PA)

This account ( XXXX  # XXXX ) is reported to have been opened XX/XX/XXXX. There is one month of payment history reported by the issuer, which has been disputed as inaccurate and incomplete on a number of occasions.

The issuer will not furnish complete and accurate information to the credit bureaus. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX stated that the account was updated, but the report shows the last status update was XX/XX/XXXX, which means they never investigated and there was no update or, the issuer provided false information. The payment history is still missing. 

I have a legal right to complete and accurate information to be reported on my credit file. If the information can not be updated or corrected, then it must be deleted. 

The omission of payment history has negatively impacted my credit score. Since this will not be updated or corrected, I demand that this item be immediately removed from my credit report.

He was upset that the number was so old and he did n't recognize it. He has worked there over 20 years.   XXXX   would not refund my money and said it was part of the original paperwork I signed when I opened the account. The fee was n't charged for 5 years.  Key Bank  never sent me updated terms on the account, monthly statements for the account or the  XXXX  forms for tax purposes. They withdrew a total of {$660.00} that was unauthorized. I feel Key Bank was hiding the account, it had {$3200.00} in the account.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

Around XXXX 2017, fraudulent charges were made on my Wells Fargo credit card. I disputed these charges to Wells Fargo and was successful in having some removed. However, Wells Fargo has refused to remove a significant portion of the charges, claiming that the signature on the receipts matches the signature they have on file for me. First, when stolen, my card contained my signature -- a signature that even a child could replicate. Second, the signatures are NOT the same. Third, this is the ONLY " proof '' they are going by. The proof is cryptic, vague and inconclusive. Wells Fargo is handing their hat on it to avoid liability, despite touting a zero liability protection benefit. Also, I requested the documentation for the charges they DID remove and they have not provided them to me. 

I disputed these charges in accordance with Fair Credit Billing Act. Not only does Wells Fargo itself promote " zero liability '' protection, the FCBA also affords me similar protection. If all it takes is for a fraudster to create a " similar '' simple signature, the " protection '' is illusory. 

I demand further proof other than a claim that the signatures appear similar. 

I have hired an attorney and the attorney received the same unacceptable generic, unresearched response.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. ()

In repaying my student loan based on an income-based repayment plan, I received information from Navient about the renewal processes only through an email with an obscure subject line and with no information providing the date by which I should request renewal and what the consequences were of a late renewal request. As a result, the benefit lapsed, and resulted in the capitalization of USD XXXX in interest added to the principle of the loan, increasing the amount I will ultimately have to repay.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

Over the last several days I have been trying to remove a Security freeze on my Equifax Credit report by either the online method or by calling them and speaking with an oversees phone XXXX. I have literally spent 6 hours speaking to people that say the freeze is lifted then to find out it is n't. I do n't know what to do anymore as there are big problems as each time I call they say it is still on, but they will lift it and each time it is never lifted. To make things worse I believe I have a split credit file with Equifax as it has happened before with them and they are famous for it if you have alot of credit or long history. I tried to pull my own report the last few days and my report shows I have zero tradelines where-as I have over 25 years of credit history many auto loans, CC 's and many other things on my credit report. This just started to happen two days ago when I was trying to get my freeze removed and XXXX tried to pull it once as my freeze was suppose to be removed according to equifax rep., but they got the strangest thing as well a report with no credit history at all like myself under my SSN. This needs to be resolved and I am out of options as no one is willing to help and I do n't believe the oversees CSR know what is going on and just read scripts and are of no help. Please please help me as I am at my whits end with them.

At or around  XXXX  I visited Pay-O-Matic to send money to my teenage daughter who was in  XXXX   XXXX . I received a call from my daughter that she had issue picking up and the funds, which I was charged {$24.00} to send and when I reviewed the receipt I realized my daughter 's middle name was listed as her first name. I returned to the Pay-O-Matic at  XXXX  when I had a short break between work calls, I waited for the cashier who helped me to complete the transaction with her client, I signaled the gentleman who was next in line alerting him it would only be a second because I was there earlier and the young woman made a mistake with my transaction. He graciously allowed me to go and I showed the clerk the error, and she responded " you still need to get in line I cant let you skip the line. '' I asked for the  manager, sh e said " she 's right there but you still need to wait in line. '' I called the number listed in store  (   XXXX  ) to speak with someone re : the improper information entered and the fact that I was frantic when my daughter extremely needed the money and could n't receive it because of the clerk 's error. I also want to note that while t he manager calle d in to fix my transaction ; she asked I move to the side to handle the next customer.   My daughter has gon e to two lo cations, had to pay transportation and could n't receive her funds. The customer service I received was poor! especially given the fact that my  XXXX . was thousands of miles away, I paid for money in minutes it has been hours and I was made to wait additionally while the crowded check cash continued business as usual, and helped someone else through my turn.   I am asking for a formal apology from the business, and a refund because I paid {$27.00} for daughter to receive much needed money in minutes, and because of clerk/ashier error it took hours.   I also believe that the business needs to speak to the staff about quality customer service despite demographic community/area served.   On review of the slip it was completed correctly, and was data entered incorrectly. I look for speedy resolution.

Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ)

On XX/XX/2017 a check was written from my Business Checking account, unbeknownst to me. The check was a part of the starter checks. It was signed by a person who I do not know but that person just signed his name on the check - completely different from my signature. The check was allowed to be processed and funds were debited from my account, in the amount of {$900.00}. I filed a claim with Chase and, after about 2 months of investigation, they denied my claim stating that I failed to take proper care of my checks. I explained to them that the checks are kept in a locked drawer and that I am not sure how this person got a hold of it. What about the fact, that the signature does not match my signature? According to Chase, that does not mean much since, in their opinion, I did not take care of the check. I also explained to them that I did not file a police complaint for stolen check since I expected Chase to take care of it. I talked to their Senior Claims representative on a couple of different occasions but they came back with the same conclusion. My Banking contact at the branch office talked to Chase Claims Department and he was appalled to here what they had to say. He feels that this was a clear case that Chase should have ruled in my favor and pursued the person who wrote the check. Please note that I have recently moved, hence the address on this complaint is different from the address on Chase 's letter. 
The fundamental issue here is - the signature card has no significance. Banks do not check for your signature on checks and they take no responsibility if the signatures do not match. I am not sure that all customers are aware of this.
