Consumer complaint received 2023-11-06 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the discriminatory experiences I encountered while attempting to apply for a credit card at Wells Fargo Bank, specifically at the branch located in XXXX, North Carolina. My complaint pertains to the bank 's inconsistent treatment of credit card applicants based on their immigration and residency status, which is in direct violation of U.S. regulations and the principles of equality and non-discrimination.

During my attempts to secure a credit card from Wells Fargo Bank, my applications were repeatedly declined, with bank representatives insisting that I needed to provide proof of XXXX citizenship or XXXX residency. It is important to note that this requirement was never communicated in any pre-application documentation or during the application process, and there is no public disclosure of such a requirement as a condition for credit card approval by Wells Fargo. 

Of great concern is the fact that two acquaintances with immigration and residency statuses similar to mine were able to obtain credit cards from the same Wells Fargo branch without any issues. This discrepancy in treatment has led me to believe that there is an inconsistency in the bank 's application evaluation process. 

In an effort to address this issue, I visited the branch and filed a complaint for resolution within the Wells Fargo system. However, to my disappointment, no one from the bank has reached out to me to address my concerns, nor have I received a clear and satisfactory response regarding the specific requirements, if any, for XXXX citizenship or residency for credit card approval. 

I hold a valid Social Security card and am currently legally employed in the United States. Additionally, I possess credit cards issued by other financial institutions, which suggests that I meet the necessary criteria for credit card eligibility, provided that consistent standards are applied to all applicants.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted several disputes to all 3 major credit reporting bureaus ( XXXXTransUnion ) in regards to this XXXX XXXX XXXX  account and the numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies reported on this account by all 3 bureaus. I have requested verification and validity of this alleged debt from the 3 bureaus and the collection agency directly. I keep getting notifications from all three bureaus stating that the information on this collection has been " verified '' and is " accurate '' when you blatantly see the inconsistent and inaccurate items being reported on this account that I will detail. First and foremost, XXXX is currently reporting this account as OPEN! and 120 days PAST DUE, on a collection account! XXXX is also reporting a date of last payment! I have NEVER made any payment on this account as I deny it is mine. a collection is by DEFAULT late and past due. The sole fact that this collection is reporting 120 days late and open is a complete error and FCRA violation. Furthermore, TransUnion is also reporting this collection as an OPEN account. Lastly, XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. TransUnion is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. Pursuant to the FCRA I am entitled to fair and 100 % accurate reporting. These egregious errors are ruining my life and the fact that the bureaus failed to acknowledge or rectify these reporting errors and verified them as accurate is astonishing to me and I demand relief.
