Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concern regarding an issue I encountered with my Wells Fargo accounts and the associated bonus offer. 

I opened both a checking and savings account with Wells Fargo and was informed by a representative that I would be eligible for a {$300.00} bonus upon setting up direct deposit. The representative did not specify which account ( checking or savings ) the direct deposit needed to be directed to, so I have been consistently depositing into my savings account for several months. 

After not receiving the promised bonus within the specified timeframe, I contacted Wells Fargo customer service after 90 days. I was initially informed that the bonus would be processed within the next month, as documented in a screenshot of our conversation. However, when I did not receive the bonus, I visited the Wells Fargo branch in XXXX, NY, where I was informed that my bonus eligibility was voided because the direct deposit had been made to my savings account rather than my checking account. 

When I mentioned I will take my money out because of unfulfilled promises, I was told by the representative, XXXX, that I could withdraw my funds if I want to. However, when I repeated her statement to confirm my understanding, she raised her voice and interrupted me, before abruptly hanging up on me. 

I find this situation to be both frustrating and unprofessional. Wells Fargo does not care about its customers as they do not provide bonus offer when they promise. They hold on to the money and promise you the bonus and after months do not live up to the promise.

Complaint narrative:
I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Midland Funding sued me for a debt that I do not owe. They claimed I owed {$4000.00} and stated they were representing a company with which I had previously done business. To my surprise, they were attempting to collect on a debt that was over XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the company they were representing had gone bankrupt and was out of business. 

When I questioned the attorney about how this was possible, he claimed he was their attorney and was collecting the money on their behalf. They took me to court for a ruling, and under duress, I agreed to pay the debt. However, I later discovered that Midland Funding was not representing the original company ; they had purchased the debt and were not authorized by the original company, which was a brick-and-mortar business, not an online retailer.

Furthermore, Midland Funding went so far as to place a freeze on my bank account. I had to go to court to have the freeze lifted, and while they assured me I would have full access to my funds within 10 days, it actually took a month before I regained access. 

Now, they are starting the same harassing process again. Their misrepresentation and failure to comply with a court order regarding a debt that I do not owe is unacceptable. I am seeking resolution and justice in this matter.
