Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo without any form of notice and after refusing to discuss alternative solutions has my home for sale on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I have applied for a modification and submitted all request documents and have not been contacted by them. My title work from the date of purchase does not indicate that Wells Fargo has any ownership right to my property and I have sent them a Qualified Written Request ( QWR ). Wells Fargo has refused to tell me who the attorney is handling the upcoming sale of my property nor have they informed the other owner of the property, this party is on title but not on the debt.

Issue: Overlimit fee — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have a Wells Fargo Secured Credit Card, with a payment due the XXXX of every month. I paid my bill on the XXXX by transferring funds from my Wells Fargo Checking Account. I woke up the next day to find an account over-limit fee of XXXX added to my balance. This is not the first time this has happened. After calling customer service, I was told they attach a '' ghost fee '' ( which " should '' fall off in 3 or 4 days ) to the bill even though it was paid on the due date and not late. There is no notification of any such fee in the card disclosures, and when I mentioned this to the customer service rep, she stated even though it is not the best, it 's just their policy. These fees have an impact on my credit report and credit score, because they are reported as me overextending my credit, even though I am not. Even if the fee falls off, they do not correct it with the credit reporting bureaus and I am stuck with a false, derogatory hit on my credit for 7-10 years. Ironically, if it was n't for the fact that Wells Fargo is in the news for deceiving some of their customers, I would n't have been looking as closely at my accounts, and would not have found about their practice.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing you again for the XXXX time because NFCU is continuing to report erroneous information to my credit profile. NFCU is attempting to report foreclosed information to my credit report after the 7 year reporting period by changing the date of delinquency on my accounts. The first date of delinquency is the date of my bankruptcy. After 7 years, NFCU is required by law to stop reporting on these account all together XXXX the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They are also labeling these accounts as being open and active when they are bankrupted accounts and should be labeled as such. They have updated and re-aged the accounts in order to continuing reporting on it outside of the 7 year period. Any status regarding these accounts outside of the 7 year period should not be reporting. NFCU actions have caused my credit score to decline and increasing in my premiums for insurance and utility services. I have disputed these item with the credit bureaus and have sent correspondence directly to NFCU for correction only to have them corrected when under fire and re-reported a couple of months later. I am requesting that NFCU stop harassing me by means of the credit system. This is a deliberate act because they have been warned by me, my attorney, XXXX and CFPB have sent them correspondence regarding this matter in the past. I am requesting that NFCU cease from reporting on any and all account included in my XXXX 2008 bankruptcy and submit accurate account data to the XXXX credit bureaus. This is my third and final request. Legal action will be taken XXXX the FCRA. 

*They have also removed the account from my report in the past, but added it back after a few months.

Complaint narrative:
I have never had a bank account with Wells Fargo. They claim I owe {$250.00} but they can not tell me why I owe that money.The debt collectors can not tell me why they think I owe them money. They kept asking me for my Wells Fargo account number, which since I never had an account, I can not give them. I called Wells Fargo, gave them my last XXXX of my social security number, they did a check and decided I did not owe that money. They referred me to their check fraud claims department and they want my full social security number and that I fill out an affidavit. I have no obligation to do anything for them because they have not proven I have a debt or given any real explanation for any debt. I have written them letters explaining myself but they still threaten me with closing " my claim '' if I do n't fill out their form within 20 days. This is personally identifiable information which they have no right to. I would fine them for unethical behavior and not give them my driver 's license or social security number.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. Here 's the issue - I have a delinquent credit card with Wells Fargo. About 15 years ago, I opened a checking account with Wachovia ( account ending XXXX ). My sister, XXXX XXXX XXXX was added to my checking back 12+ years ago for convenience. I branched off and opened a different primary checking with another financial institution. Subsequently, around XXXX or XXXX, I opened the now delinquent credit card ( account ending XXXX ) and was pitched to open another checking account with Wells in order to receive the Wells credit card. Unfortunately, a divorce caused me to cancel the primary checking w/Wells Fargo and then began to struggle with credit card payments. For more than 12+ years, XXXX XXXX has maintained the Wachovia checking account ( account ending XXXX ) and has remained in good standing. I do not have access to the account ( no debit card, no related transactions whatsoever in more than a decade ). She has had direct payroll deposits into this account and all her financial dealings through Wells Fargo. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Wells Fargo took her entire paycheck, forcing her into financially compromising position. Wells justified its actions by stating because I was listed as primary on the checking account, it has full authority to take my sister 's funds to pay my debt. She has been an excellent customer for Wells Fargo. Wells was very clear that they were not taking XXXX funds, but XXXX entire balance plus her payroll direct deposit. This is not a fair or ethical practice. They have crippled an honest customer that never had anything to do with the delinquent credit card. She never had a card in her name or made a single charge relating to this debt. Now, however, she has been punished. What type of recourse do we have? Should we get an attorney? Wells ' ethical statement reads : Wells Fargo 's reputation as one of the world 's great companies for integrity and principled performance depends on our doing the right thing, in the right way, and complying with the laws, rules and regulations that govern our business. We earn trust by behaving ethically and holding all team members and directors accountable for the decisions we make and the actions we take. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct ( PDF ) serves to guide the actions and decisions of our team members, including executive officers, and directors consistent with our company vision and values.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from WELLS FARGO AUTO FINANCE stating they had created a new account number for my auto loan. The vehicle was repossessed in XXXX and subsequently the loan was charged off. I lost my income in XXXX XXXX due to XXXX and no longer able to work at XXXX XXXX. 

They then began reporting BOTH accounts to the credit bureaus showing a balance of {$10000.00}. In XXXX, I disputed with the XXXX and the original account balance was changed to {$0.00}. However, the duplicate account continues to report falsely. This loan was charged-off after the vehicle was repossessed in XXXX.They are reporting inaccurate, false data solely to harm my credit. 

In XXXX, I received a XXXX ( Cancellation of Debt ) and had to file same, as income, with my XXXX taxes. Even the XXXX appears to have errors on it, showing XXXX instead of XXXX ... .and the acct number is different from that appearing on their XXXX letter advising me of a " new '' account number ; for a second account I never authorized or opened. 

Now that have increased the BALANCE reporting to bureaus to {$11000.00} despite showing it as CHARGED-OFF. They also report it as OPEN. I do not, and never did have XXXX auto loans with Wells Fargo. This is 100 % FRAUDULENT reporting! All three major CBRs have documented DISPUTE, but continue to enjoin Wells Fargo in perpetuating this violation of the FDCPA, FCRA, TILA, and Section 166 of U.S. Treasury code 26 CFR 166 ( et al ). 

I am not, nor have I been receiving any statements, as required by law, when interest is being accrued to a loan. This is a violation of Truth in Lending Act. 

WELLS FARGO has wantonly and willfully violated my civil rights, caused me great harm financially, and caused me extensive pain and mental anguish because of their violations and because of their defiance to correct the problems when I disputed them through proper channels.

Complaint narrative:
I am a co-signer on a student loan for my son but he is not able to pay so I 'm making the payments. Wells Fargo failed to send me the statements and refuses to setup online access to the account so I can make the payments. They managed to send me one statement but they have stopped coming. They have damaged my credit and have refused to fix it. I have called them on the phone at least three times. All I want from them is to send me statements, give me online access to the account and fix the unfair credit remark on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I was attempting to book a rental property and I was given the owners ( XXXX XXXX ) Wells Fargo Bank account info to deposit/wire the money. I went to a Wells Fargo branch and had them verify that the owners account looked to be legit account. They said it looked legit, but could n't say anything else. I felt more comfortable with depositing the money. The bank created a certified check for {$2700.00} from my Wells Fargo account and deposited it into what i was told was the owners account. 
I did more research the night I deposited the money and feel like i was part of a scam. My wife and i called Wells Fargo and found out that I would have to go into a branch to try and stop payment. 
I went into the bank at XXXX ( 21 hours after making the deposit ) and explained the situation and wanted to put a stop payment. They told me I had to go the legal route on this and they could n't do anything. 
I just received another email from the " Realtor '' ( XXXX XXXX ) saying that my certified check did n't clear. This is making me even more concerned that they are going to ask for more money and/or not provide any services ( rental property ). 
I was looking for the bank to care about cancelling the check from my side, but they seemed bound from doing anything. They also did n't seem to care that one of their accounts could be involved in a scam. 
After calling Wells Fargo around 10 times, someone actually filed a research claim to look into the check, but I still do n't get the feeling that Wells Fargo is going to take this serious.

Describe what happened so we can understand the issue ... 
I was granted trial payments for a loan modification in XX/XX/2016. I have made every payment on a monthly basis as indicated last payment on XX/XX/2016. I received notice that as of XX/XX/2016 I will no longer be in the loan modification program due to title issues. I have an attorney and we filed a claim against the person who put the fraud liens on my homes, the person defaulted. The problem arouse due to the company " XXXX XXXX '' hired to process the proof of service did due the service correctly as a result the case was rejected and I had to start over. I had him served again bay another company " XXXX XXXX '' in XX/XX/2016 and he defaulted and I had him served with notice to file default on XX/XX/2016. So now I need to wait 45 days before I can have the court order the default and damages. I have tried to make the mortgage payments in this month XX/XX/XXXX and they will not take the payments. I need more time to clear the title as described and I need to remain in the loan modification program. The reason it has taken so long is out of my control.

Complaint narrative:
I mailed XXXX checks to my auto loan bank Wells Fargo. XXXX was for my regular payment and the other was for principal only. The bank applied almost half of the principal only check to payment with interest. When I contacted the bank they said a machine processes the payments. They said They would fix the problem and next time to include a sticky note with my principal only check. My check clearly stated principal only on it and for them to claim robot error, is insulting.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account terms
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal Credit Union made a mistake on my new credit card. They mistakenly charged a finance fee on my new credit card account which put me over the credit limit by a few dollars. They did not inform me of the fee while the transfer was being made on the phone, the fee of a few dollars could have been taken from my other account to prevent this problem from Due to poor customer service, lack of training on the agents part, and complete lack of effort on their part, I ended up with no option except to file a complaint to resolve this issue when the bank could have done it themselves. Because of these reasons, an overage on the credit card was reported to the credit bureau. 

After multiple conversations with the bank they admitted to the mistake but said that it was passed their time limit and refused to make the reversal. I want this bad mark removed from my credit reports.
