Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited {$1500.00} cash into a person 's Wells Fargo account. I was under the impression that I was putting down first month 's rent and deposit for an apartment. I was told the keys would be mailed to me. I had been corresponding through the scammer ( who I thought would be my landlord ) via text and e-mail. I followed his directions to make this cash deposit into the account number that he gave to me XXXX. A few hours later, my dad told me I had been scammed. I went back to the branch to explain the situation and they looked up the account number and told me that it had been flagged for fraud ; no money could enter or leave the account. The banker told me there were several other cash deposits made in the same amount into that same account from other locations. I filed a police report with the XXXX XXXX PD. For the past month I have been in correspondence with the Branch Manager. ( Wells Fargo Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ). He told me the case is being investigated and that there were other victims. I have been e-mailing him several times a week asking for updates of my claim and he told me that it was " under investigation '' with the " resolution team '' as well as being escalated to a " research team. '' I was told they have my contact info but have not been reached by them. I have also not been able to reach anyone at Wells Fargo about this except for the branch manager. All I have is a reference number # XXXX. <P/>As of XX/XX/XXXX I have confirmation from the branch manager who also happens to be the Assistant Vice President of the XXXX XXXX Region XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ) that my money was never liquidated from this account and that Wells Fargo is in fact in possession of my {$1500.00} cash. <P/>Because I am not a Wells Fargo customer and this was a cash deposit, XXXX has told me Wells will not give me back my money and has told me to go to the police. I told him I already filed a police report. I inquired how the police are supposed to help me get back my money if it is in the possession of Wells Fargo. There is video evidence and a receipt proving I was the one who deposited the money. <P/>This is two months worth of rent money that I really badly need. I am a victim of a scam and I need Wells Fargo to do the right thing and return my money to me. <P/>I was never contacted as the victim of a scam and am now being told I am not entitled to getting my money back. My only communication with Wells Fargo has been through the branch manager XXXX.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017, Monterey Collections Sv. working on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, signed for a certified letter of official dispute of their information of a collection account in the amount of {$19000.00} on my and my husband 's credit reports. The letter informed them that I was requesting validation of this debt pursuant to FDCPA and FCRA and corresponding local state laws. Competent evidence bearing my signature and showing contractual obligation to pay was requested as well. I also informed them that I was aware of the law and that they had 30 days to validate the debt, or the law required that they request that all reporting agencies delete the entry. After not hearing from them after 30 days and noticing that no notification of dispute was indicated on my credit report I sent a follow-up certified letter which they signed for on XXXX XXXX, 2017. This letter notified them that they were in violation of ( but not limited to ) FDCPA Section 807-8 and FCRA Section 623-b, and therefore I was demanding that the item be removed from my credit report, as required by law. I finally received information from them on XXXX XXXX, 2017, a full 55 days beyond what is allowed by law. In the letter, they informed me that I had 30 days from date of notification by them that the account had been placed with them to dispute the debt. However, I have never received such notice, they have failed to provide proof of such, and I was only aware of the issue when checking my credit report. On that same note, FDCPA states : " 809. Validation of debts ( c ) the failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer '' which does not excuse their legal responsibility to abide by the law in their reporting and validation when informed of formal dispute and request for validation evidence. I am also reporting them to the BBB today, as well as the Texas Attorney General before filing a small claims action.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to protest unfair banking fees for cashing checks written by their own bank customers. I received a letter today from Bank Of America stating that they will begin charging {$8.00} for non-customers who bring my Bank of America checks to my bank to cash. This practice discriminates against those who need the funds the most, such as any independent contractor, care giver, housekeeper, or landscaper. <P/>Is it illegal for banks to charge people for cashing checks written by that bank 's customers? <P/>The bank representative gave no good reason for charging the fee for cashing Bank of America checks to those whom I pay with a check. I understand that XXXX XXXX has also begun charging such fees. <P/>I already pay fees to the bank to maintain my checking account, and they have the privilege of holding of my money. The bank is providing no recourse. <P/>How can we protect consumers from these unfair fees? <P/>Thank you
