Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX my phone was hacked by SIM card swapping @ approximately XXXX XXXX. 

I noticed immediately at XXXX in email account that user name and password were changed for my WellsFargo account. I immediately called them from my daughters phone and made them aware of the situation and not having access to my phone. Wells Fargo had changed the username and password. Much to my surprise at approximately XXXX XX/XX/year> many charges were being made through my account in which I saw being notified by email. My debit card was used numerous times totaling approximately {$5000.00}. 

Wells Fargo did not allow the first XXXX transactions through and then let numerous transactions through How did this happen??? 

I have been a customer of Wells Fargo for over 40 years and much to say I am beyond ANGRY, DISAPPOINTED and SCARED. I only ever use my debit card for groceries and gas and maybe some small purchases. So how in the world was this not stopped!!! I had called 6 hours earlier and explained the situation that I did not have access to my phone. Was this an inside job of WellsFargo? XXXX XXXX was another compromised due to phone take over but they did not allow XXXX cent through. 

The hackers had transferred all money from savings accounts and daughter checking account ( which was linked to mine ) to my checking account and then preceded to use debit card for many purchases to XXXX totaling approximately {$5000.00} why was Wells Fargo security not in place this is not my pattern nor anyone that I know to transfer all money and spend {$1000.00} 's of dollars at XXXX am in the morning!!! 

Wells Fargo also allowed them to do a Cash Advance on a credit card and deposit that money, Which I have never done and don't know how to do. 

WellsFargo did not immediately refund any money which left me days with money for gas, food, etc this is unacceptable when clearly you could tell it was fraud. 

My information now was breached along with my daughters. Where was the security? 

This has caused me extreme XXXX  can not eat or sleep. With my nerves shot. 

I am very disappointed with Wells Fargo

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a HELOC and was approved by Citizens. During the process they advertised a certain payment option. During the closing, on XX/XX/XXXX, the closing agent was not able to answer my questions to ensure that I was able to get the payment option originally advertised. Citizens never sent me a statement with my payment and due date so I was unaware of the issue until my first payment attempted to draft causing the payment to be returned. The payment advertised was approximately {$1100.00} but the first payment that tried to process on XX/XX/XXXX was about {$3600.00}. It was very misleading and they need to do a better job of being able to ensure that the options are properly selected during the closing process. I was clear the the closing agent was confused by some of my questions.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
