This complaint is against Wells Fargo for failing to comply with the requirements established in the Fair Credit Billing Act. See supporting documents included as part of this complaint. This complaint is NOT related with the merchant 's pricing and policies. Wells Fargo failed to comply with the following requirements : 1. Resolve the dispute within two billing cycles. 
The first Wells Fargo resolution letter for the dispute XXXX was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, after two fully billing cycles from my claim, which was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. The Fair Credit Billing Act establishes a period of not later than two complete billing cycles to resolve a dispute. Billing cycle XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( unauthorized transaction was on XX/XX/XXXX ) ; billing cycle XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( I opened the claim with Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX ) ; billing cycle XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( first fully billing cycle after claim ) ; billing cycle XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( second fully billing cycle after claim ) ; Wells Fargo sent the resolution letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Refer to Fair Credit Billing Act sections 1666 ( a ) ( B ) and 1666 ( a ) ( B ) ( ii ). 

2. Resolve the dispute and send written explanation prior to taking any action to collect the amount. 
Wells Fargo re-billed the disputed amount on XX/XX/XXXX, three days before they sent me the resolution letter, which was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. According to the Fair Credit Billing Act, the creditor shall sent written explanation prior to taking any action to collect the amount. Refer to Fair Credit Billing Act sections 1666 ( a ) ( B ) and 1666 ( a ) ( B ) ( ii ). 

As explained in the Federal Trade Commission article, " If an issuer doesnt follow the settlement procedure, they forfeit a portion ( up to {$50.00} ) of what theyre allowed to collect ( the disputed amount plus finance charges ), even if the bill turns out to be correct. '' Refer to Fair Credit Billing Act section 1666 ( e ). 

Wells Fargo can not rebilled me the disputed amount because they failed to comply with the requirements established in the Fair Credit Billing Act. Therefore, I request to Wells Fargo a full refund ( credit in my account ) of {$89.00} to my credit card.

Company: FISERV FINXACT CORE
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
These people are off their rocker -- Basically telling me that they closed my dispute claim because either A, they didn't receive any supporting documentation from me, or B, the documentation I sent them wasn't sufficient enough... Being my documentation is more than sufficient, I'm going to go with A. If it's B, they need to explain how what I sent them does not support my claim, because it clearly does. This is not the first time this has happened with this company regarding disputes. Seems as though they're either incompetent, illiterate, or just don't check their email. All I know is, I'm getting sick of the same old thing every time I file a dispute, and then I have to go through this. They seriously need to step it up or I will be filing a complaint against them with the New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance...

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation aka Pentagon Federal Credit or PenFed Credit Union is reporting inaccurate, erroneous, misleading information on my consumer reports which is defaming my character and keeping me from accessing new capital. 

They have reported late payments they refuse to remove from my consumer reports. Even though they updated my account to show the account is not past due. They also failed to remove late payment charges and fees totaling {$120.00} from the account. 

I sent them a second billing error dispute letter that they ignored. PenFed is continuing to willfully and intentionally adversely affect my consumer reports. I am demanding the CFPB intervene and require they fix these billing errors.
