Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I was scammed through a XXXX transaction. The scammer pretended to be a BOP ( which I reported to the FBI ) and had all of my information and my father 's information. I know with BOP you do not ask many questions. I have experienced it with the real BOP. I went for the scam to ensure that my family member was safe. Immediately I reported the scams for two transactions of XXXX $ to Wells Fargo bank. Wells Fargo got the information of the receiving bank AND THE ACCOUNT HOLDER and yet they are not giving me my funds back. When I escalated the requests I was berated and called stupid for sending the funds. That is not acceptable for a loyal customer who holds many accounts with Wells Fargo. I felt like Wells did not even try to get my money back and didn't help me when I was scared for my personal safety and my family safety. I really hope that I can get my funds back.

I got ta say, your letter really ticked me off! How in the world can you just shut down my request for help with my credit report like it's no big deal? Your reasons don't make any sense, and it feels like you're just tossing my concerns out the window. I'm not trying to mess around here I genuinely believe I'm a victim of identity theft. I sent you all the proof, and you're telling me I made an error or lied? Seriously? I need you to take a second look and get it right this time. I'm not giving up, and I expect you to step up and fix this mess you're making of my credit report.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, My name is XXXX XXXX, I initiated the Balance Transfer on XX/XX/2023 from XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( now they changed the bank name to XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to my Chase Sapphire Credit Card : - XX/XX/2023 : CHASE sent the CHECK to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  but the payment has never been posted to my XXXX XXXX Account. In the meantime, XXXX XXXX  they transitioned from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and my account has been changed too. Therefore, I assumed the payment has not been posted due to different account numbers so I called Chase to recall/cancel the Balance Transfer and I paid off the balance from XXXXXXXX XXXX  by myself. 
- The first CHASE escalation ( Case numbers : XXXX ) : on XX/XX/2033 Chase sent me a letter via mail stated Our records show that your request to place a stop pay on the balance transfer of {$1600.00} was already submitted on XX/XX/2023. Please allow five to seven business days for the credit to post. The option to change the account number on the balance transfer check was not available. Then on XX/XX/2023, they sent another letter via the portal stated the Balance Transfer was completed and the payment was received by payee, so we are unable to cancel the balance transfer or request changes and advised me to contact XXXX XXXX  instead. 
- Therefore, I called XXXX XXXX  multiple times to inquire the Check which CHASE sent to them but they insisted that they have never received it. I spoke to the supervisor and she helped me to send the inquiry to their payment department with information Chase provided such as the Check/ACH numbers but they couldnt found it either. 
- The second CHASE escalation ( Case Numbers : XXXX ) created by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I sent a secure message to request the copy of the Check then I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to get the update but no solution, I also asked XXXX from their payment department to see if the CHECK was cashed? He confirmed It hasnt been cashed yet. 
- I also sent the copy of the Check to XXXX XXXX XXXX to inquire if they have the Check by any chance. I received the letter and they stated its under investigation and would take up 90 days. 
- On XX/XX/2023, I spoke to XXXX from Chase payment department and found out the address on the Check was the headquarter of XXXX XXXX  not their payment processing center so he sent an email to Chase Balance Transfer department to report it and created the new case numbers : XXXX. 
- Until now, theres no solution despite I called multiple times for the update and also sent the inquiries via secured message. 
- Hence, Im owing CHASE the amount of {$1600.00} plus 5 % fee which they posted on XX/XX/2023 and the Check they sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) seemed to be lost. 

I do hope CFPB can involve to help me to get my money back. 

Thank you in advance and do appreciate for your help.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I applied for a credit card at capital one website. As you may be aware, it is against federal law in accordance with Equal Credit Opportunity Act to proclaim an adverse action against a consumer. Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1691 ( C ) you assume civil liability pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1691 ( K ). 
Capital One has violated my federally protected consumer rights : 15 U.S Code 1642 which clearly states " No credit card shall be issued except in response to a request or application therefor. This prohibition does not apply to the issuance of a credit card in renewal of, or in substitution for, an accepted credit card. '' I attached a letter that was sent to me dated XXXX XXXX XXXX that is both proof and evidence that I have been discriminated against, therefore that makes capital one criminally liable. Capital One is to resort to reasonable procedures to rectify this affair and compensate me for the use of MY securities. Otherwise, if not rectified, this would be considered securities fraud since I have received NO BENEFIT.
