Complaint narrative:
XXXX continued. Spoke with XXXX XXXX. 
Awaiting XXXX XXXX ... .. after XXXX XXXX XXXX the WF Exec office, and as per my prior conversation XXXX XXXX and WF continue their trickery. I never agreed to the mediation resolution for the XXXX loan. There is no documentation and I never agreed. The sole purpose of the mediation was to discuss the HELOC loan and my request for XXXX, XXXX XXXX The trickery is that WF agreed to discuss a CHECKING ACCOUNT only and agreed to discuss the HELOC loan at a later date, after the mediation WF continues false assumptions to what was discussed in the mediation and is tricking CFPB and other customers in more fraudulent behavior. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX do not tell the truth and are misleading CFPB. Please reach out to alternative POCs at WF. Per WFs request by mail to go through a mediation process on XX/XX/2023, may we please proceed. Please assure that WF does not apply trickery and delay tactics as they practice on a ongoing process. All the issues are real and they need to be held to account. WF has belayed and continues to say that they have reviewed the issues yet has done nothing. WF never looked into the fraudulent activities of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX  XXXX has passed, was sued by all the clients and filed for bankruptcy and eventually filled for title... I provided XXXX XXXX 's phone number and all other contact information, The bank is liable for his actions and all the other questionable banking activities. I asked not to close the loan, no other bank would provide banking services to XXXX XXXX and through out the loan WF behaved in an unprofessional matter befitting a bank. WF tricked me into going to mediation and only agreed to discuss the checking account and then turned around and stated that the mediation pertained to all the issues with WF which is untrue. They should be out of the banking business and the mediation lawyer assured me that I can pursue the issues but refused to provide a written statement. Please investigate WF for fraud and lying to customers and gaining financially. They were required by CFPBB to make good on their wrong doing yet they have yet to provide adequate compensation. The WF game continues. The gate keepers, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are following the WF line and should be in a different position or business. Please provide a more truth telling POC WF as in the past is playing the clock. Please hold them to account so we may truthfully mediate.

Complaint narrative:
You have no rights to report this bankruptcy in my credit report! There are different date file/reported and even the closing dates. This is also a discharge bankruptcy which means fresh start but this is the reason why I can't get a fresh start because of you reporting this bankruptcy! This is absurd! I have the letter from the court that says they don't report this bankruptcy to you and this is from an unauthorized third party!

To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiries was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes.

As part of your investigation, please send the names, addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing a credit inquiry ; with my signature, so that I may verify its validity.
