Wells Fargo is discontinuing the Checking account type that I have had with them for many years. " Complete Advantage Checking '' is being replaced by " XXXX XXXX XXXX  '' automatically and I am not being given an option to retain the account services that I have had with the original product without paying additional fees. 

In order to discover what is going on I have to click through links and scroll through fine print text to find out what my options were. In the fine print it gives erroneous instructions as to where and how to select anything other than the default account changes that I have not consented to. It took me XXXX minutes to find the " Switch accounts '' function because it was hidden in a " more options '' expanding menu that was in not mentioned in the instructions or even in the correct section of their website. 

Wells Fargo leadership is currently enjoying a year over year profit increase of 31.22 % and STILL they are adding fees and cutting their services to their clients. They are doing a fine job of predating their clients to swell their own already bloated compensation plans.

The Ally website Pay Online option does not work much of the time and the website is often shut down for repairs at night. They call many times each day. I have already paid well over the original cost of my vehicle and loan but they are a predatory lender and refuse to refinance.
