Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MI)

Complaint:
I signed up for Wells Fargo 's Checking promotion earlier this year in late XXXX for {$250.00}. The bonus was broken into $ XXXX {$100.00}. Wells Fargo paid the initial bonus of {$150.00} on my account after meeting terms on XXXX but refuses to honor the 2nd portion of the bonus ( {$100.00} ) despite initially leading me to  believe I would get the {$100.00} as I will explain below. The terms for the second portion of the bonus were to continue making direct deposits of $ XXXX every 30 days for another 150 days following the initial 60 day period. 

Sometime just before XX/XX/2019 I contacted Wells Fargo via Secure Message asking about the status of my {$100.00} bonus. They  responded on XX/XX/XXXX indicating that I had yet to meet the terms but led me to believe that I was very close. They specifically detailed out that I made $ 500+ in Direct Deposits of {$600.00}, {$550.00}, {$780.00} & {$500.00} for the 4 months ( 120 days ) following the initial 60-day period and {$400.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX but presumably had until XX/XX/XXXX to meet it ( Deposits from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX as XXXX ).  They said I had to make just {$96.00} by XX/XX/XXXX to receive the {$100.00}. The very next day on XX/XX/XXXX, a Direct Deposit of {$140.00} posted thus taking me over {$500.00} for the 5th straight month. So I thought I must be good for the {$100.00} bonus. 

Another month passes by and I still don't see the {$100.00} bonus post yet so I message them explaining to them that I had {$140.00} Direct Deposit post before XX/XX/XXXX. Now Wells Fargo tells me on XX/XX/19 that I don't qualify because I didn't meet the terms saying I only made {$370.00} in Direct Deposits from days XXXX?? ( 4th month ) despite their original message stating that I had done {$500.00}. I feel like I was screwed and deceived out of the extra {$100.00} bonus by Wells Fargo and that it should be honored.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX Wells Fargo is allowing my identity to be use by some thief. 
The thief has been using my address and my name as well as my email address and how did he/she managed to open multiple bank accounts using my information with or without the help of the BANK in QUESTION? 

Wells Fargo Bank has been sending me statement, letters, emails and even a debit card using my name, my address and my email address on multiple accounts I have not opened. I have NO business with Wells Fargo Bank. 
I have gotten multiple letters and collection letters from Wells Fargo as well. It's extremely annoying the endless amount of time/money that this FRAUD has cost me. 

I met/and contacted the bank on XX/XX/2022 in my community to discuss the issue. I made a report with the local police. I lost money because of this thief. 

But letters continue to insult my dignity and identity. 
Please I need an authentic answer to this issue. I worked all my life so hard to be abused by a thief who wants to steal my identify and commit financial crimes. 
Please contact me ASAP. 
THANK YOU! 
Or email me A fair solution to this issue, would be to compensate me for damages and lost of time, fear and mental health damages to my name/life which already is full of debts. I need to be compensated for the weakness or failure to secure my identity/the use of my personal information tacking my integrity, my dignity and my vulnerability as a hard-working person, a tax payer and a decent name. I want the bank to find the thief and let me know who did it. I want these accounts to be removed and permanently block the thief from further damage to me or anyone else. That's is a security issue because if we cant keep safe the business of money as a way to do make transactions, then we will be all forced to go back to trading goods which is a fair safer way to do business. il.com.

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 a late payment on XXXX XXXX XXXX of 2020 for 30 days. Impossible! Send me proof that i was late because i paid it on time. 


I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I check my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: Avant Credit Corporation (IN)

Complaint:
First off, I read in the newspaper that I was being sued by a debt buyer that I had never heard of, then I had a court document delivered by local sheriff of a request for default judgment request. 

I had never received any letter from this debt buyer. I contacted the court and advised I had not received any letters and that I requested an actual hearing. 

The debt collector submitted a signed affidavit that said a letter was mailed via first class mail. No tracking info could be provided. 

I asked for proof of ability for them to sue me or ownership of the debt. They sent some papers that showed they bought a bunch of debt from XXXX XXXX. Nothing that showed me or any account directly associated with me. 

We appeared in court and the judge agreed the information provided was not supportive of showing any ownership, thus not granting the default judgment they requested. However, they continue to report this on my credit report after many attempts to have it removed. 

Secondly, the information they are reporting is inaccurate. I never obtained a loan directly from XXXX XXXX and the only loan I can possibly associate with it, is from AVANT and the account numbers are the same l, but the dates do not match. 

The debt buyers date is listed as after the possible loan.
