Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: I became aware of this debt when I checked my credit report for the first time in many years recently.

Consumer complaint received 08-10-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I tried to pay by debit card a massage service, but the card machine did n't work, so I paid by cash {$64.00} plus tip. However the bank Wells Fargo debited {$64.00} on my checking account. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I went on the brunch XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I talked to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who was n't nicely at all, he was unrespectful making jokes with XXXX, saying " he was really busy to take care claims from clients, but anyway ''. 
He did n't accept the card notes from the massagem business, I went to XXXX business XXXX times, on the XXXX time the girl from front desk accepted to buy a receipt paper, because the business does n't have receipts, they do n't work like serious business, I guess. 
So I came back to the bank and I requested to talk to the Manager, XXXX XXXX, he talked to claim department and explained the business filled with my informations and said that I paid {$64.00} by cash per services and the card did n't go though on Saturday. XXXX XXXX sent all proof by fax and he checked with Claim department if everything was enough. He told me to be calm everything would be fine and I would receive my money back, and he was a patient and nice manager, so I did n't close my account on Wells Fargo. A bank which does n't trust in our clients is not a good bank. Also this happened in XXXX PA. 
On XXXX XXXX, I traveled to XXXX and I moved to XXXX on the beginning of XXXX. Today, XXXX XXXX, 2015 I checked my checking account and I saw - {$64.00}, so I researched what was that, then I got the informations from Claim Department that the receipt was n't enough, I need to go the Business and request I printed receipt or something like that. 
How I can come back to XXXX to request a receipt from a Business who already had problems to fill the basic one? 
How can be possible a bank like Wells Fargo who says they care about costumers said to me, " Im sorry I ca n't help you '', if the bank who I trusted to work with ca n't help me, who can? How I can prove Im paying XXXX for XXXX single massage, a service I got because I hurt my back and I could n't walk. 
I ca n't go to XXXX right now and I do n't agree to pay XXXX for a bad machine.

They are still refusing to do so and these XXXX inquiries have really impacted my score. After speaking with 3 supervisors XXXX XXXX, XXXX. and XXXX my concerns have yet to be addressed.
