Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have appealed the denial of my loan modification with additional documentation and I even received an email confirmation from my single point of contact ( SPOC ) that Wells Fargo received my loan modification appeal with exhibits on XXXX XXXX, 2015, and yet I received a different letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 from that same SPOC that Wells Fargo received my loan modification appeal WITHOUT any additional documents. These boilerplate letters must stop and this intentional failure to consider additional documentation is exactly what Wells Fargo has been doing for years, despite the multi-billion dollar settlements and agreements not to intentionally lose documentation. 
Additionally, Wells Fargo Bank is attempting to collect a debt in violation of both TILA and RESPA, in accordance with Section 131 ( f ) of the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1641 ( f ), and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. 2605 ( e ) and FDCPA pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692 to 1692p. ( See Attached QWR and TILA Demands to Wells Fargo Bank , N.A . ) Wells Fargo Bank must comply with my already served TILA and RESPA demands in order for me to effectively appeal the denial of my loan modification request as Wells Fargo Bank has issued a boilerplate " Proprietary Step Rate Modification '' denial letter without any details from which to understand the basis of their said denial, nor do they provide any documentation to validate that Wells Fargo Bank , N.A . actually owns the debt. 
Specifically, I am in dispute as to the identity of the true owner of this debt ( if any ) Wells Fargo Bank 's authority and capacity ( if any ) to collect on behalf of the same. I am also in dispute about the proper application of payments from the debtor to interest, principal, escrow advances and expenses ( in that order of priority as provided for in the loan instruments ) ; about Wells Fargo Bank 's use of automatically triggered property inspections and broker price opinion charges and fees based on undisclosed accounting for purported arrears ; and about legal fees and expenses that have been attached to my account but that have not been otherwise explained, disclosed, or established to myself. 
To independently validate this debt, I need to conduct a complete exam, audit, review and accounting of this mortgage account from its inception through the present date. I would like Wells Fargo Bank to validate this debt so that it is accurate to the penny. 
I also request that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau kindly conduct its own investigation and audit of this account since its inception to validate the debt Wells Fargo bank currently claims I owe them as Wells Fargo Bank has blatantly violated the CFPB 's rules and regulations.

Complaint narrative:
Applied for loan for hot tub purchase from Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo declined me for the loan and I lost out on a sale price for the tub. I have very little debt with a XXXX mortgage and only {$300.00} in credit card debt. I have a XXXX credit score from XXXX. When we called the XXXX number we could not be directed to someone that could provide information on why the loan request was denied. The loan amount would have been {$3700.00}. I have since financed with another bank. The frustration from this will forever keep me from doing business with this bank.

My Experian credit report shows a write off on my Wells Fargo Dealer Services account in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX as well as XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I have made repeated attempts to clear this up. The account was paid in full in XXXX XXXX with no late payments or write offs. The account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX for a 48 month car loan. I received the tile release and a letter stating the account was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Now they are claiming write off? I have called and written Wells Fargo and they tell me they do not know. There is no way after sending a paid letter and a lien release that they would write off something in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX.What car loan company send a title release when the vehicle is not paid for?

Complaint narrative:
I took out a new vehicle loan XX/XX/XXXX with Wells Fargo. From the very XXXX month, I was told that I could make payments to my loan using my Wells Fargo account. Wells Fargo has established another company within itself called Wells Fargo Dealer Services, and they do not communicate with each other in regards to electronic payments. When payments are taken out of XXXX Wells Fargo Checking Accounts, they take up to 2+ business days to arrive and be processed at Wells Fargo Dealer Services XXXX They also do not communicate with XXXX another in terms of when payments are submitted or if they are going to be showing up as " late '' within a system. 

Sometime XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to set up an automatic payment within Wells Fargo, but that system never worked and I missed my XXXX payment, causing me to be 30+ days late sometime XX/XX/XXXX. When I noticed the payment had not posted, I paid what was owed and went on with my life. What I did n't know was that while my payment had posted, I started a clock and payments that were already 30 days behind. At no time did Wells Fargo Dealer Services attempt to contact me and inform me that I was 30 days behind on my payments. Each month, when I would make a payment thereafter, resulted in my being charged on my credit report as 30+ days late. 

I again attempted to set up a auto-pay XX/XX/XXXX, and once again it failed. Once I realized it, there were now XXXX missing payments and I began making frantic phone calls to Wells Fargo to figure out what I could do and how I could make things right. It was then that I discovered the XXXX different companies. Wells Fargo Dealer Services has began looking into transaction dates, as if they could resolve this and tell me to " go away '' because it 's entirely my fault the payments are late. When you have a parent company that takes 4+ days to provide funds for a loan to itself, then docks the person who 's making the payment because it 's late - I think there 's both a LARGE communication issue and potential fraud within their systems. I have repeatedly requested them to see that there was a mistake on my part and ask for an adjustment to all my late charges within the credit agencies, but this request is being met with continual denial.

Complaint narrative:
On several occasions as a borrower, I have attempted to call both the local and head offices of this company, CashNetUSA, to find out what my balance was. I may have done this within just a few days of my last payment, but was told that information was not available to me. I would have to wait until the close of the next billing cycle in case there are " changes. '' I argued that there are changes all the time to the balances in my checking account, and the bank has no problem making those real-time immediate updates. 

During XXXX of my inquiries, when I wanted to know what my balance would be in about XXXX weeks from that date IF I did NOT use my flex loan amount to take out any funds from my account. 

I could not be provided that information either, but evidently the representative was slightly rattled and " almost ' '' told me what my balance would be on that date if n further transactions occurred. 

Seems t me if banks and credit card companies and and DO provide this up to the minute, real time financial data to it 's customers, there is no reason CashNetUSA could not do the same thing. 

What was the purpose, I wanted to know, in this " XXXX '' the company kept from it 's customers? As I saw it, the customer had the right AT ALL TIMES to know what their actual balance was. 

I got nowhere on any of my attempts and so I am brining my complaint to you. 

Frankly, I think CashNetUSA is taking liberties with the funds of its customers, but with so little forward and backward account documentation to go on, it is hard to tell. 

Is that perhaps, by design??

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage through Wells Fargo. I lost my home due to a fire approximately a year and a half ago and have hired a contractor to reconstruct the home. While the home was under construction, the contractor " accidentally '' built the home XXXX sqft too big and insisted that I pay him for it. I explained that this is not a possibility as we did not contract or approve the additional square footage. The contractor subsequently assaulted the woman living on the property and then quit the project. He and I are currently involved in litigation but I have continued to build the house and pay other contractors to complete the project. Wells Fargo has frozen my funds which are being held in escrow and claim that I can not recoup any money which I have spent until litigation is complete. The home is currently finished and I am awaiting the final inspection from Wells Fargo. Once the contractor quit the project, I followed Wells Fargo 's stated procedure for removing or replacing a contractor and hiring a new one. That procedure being stated as a termination of contract letter or the service of two letters, spaced ten days apart, stating that the contractor is essentially owed no additional money. This procedure was followed, but Wells Fargo subsequently chose to freeze all funds remaining in escrow. I would like the bank to release the remaining funds, as I have spent more than the {$35000.00} which is remaining in escrow.

I have XXXX accounts with Wells Fargo.

I received fees when I had money in all XXXX accounts including the credit card account which would be the XXXX. I want all the fees back and in a timely manner. They are rude, disgusting and when the fees are returned I will be shutting down all XXXX accounts and going to another bank. Tell me how you would charge overdraft fees when all XXXX accounts have money in them?

Complaint narrative:
This company continues to call my unlisted phone number. I am on the do not call list. I do not owe any debts. They have been calling repeatedly. They did something similar a few years ago with a different number when I did not owe any debts. When I called them at that time they tried to obtain my personal information like my social security number. I would not give them the information and evidentially they quit calling. They have started calling again on my new number. They are probably calling the wrong person again but I am tired of this company repeatedly calling me when I owe no debt. I have a credit rating of XXXX. When they call it is a recording and there is no one to tell to quit calling. I would like to have the harassing phone calls stopped. They need to find the correct phone numbers when they are calling for a debt

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my loan with Wells Fargo. The original GFE had my closing cost at about {$2500.00}. The final closing costs ended up being over {$3600.00}. Most noticeably the Origination charge went from {$820.00} to {$1200.00} with nolear explanation. ( email attached ) There was also {$590.00} taken out of my escrow account that Wells Fargo said was used toward my closing. When I questioned this, no one could give me a clear explanation of where the funds went. Only that it was used toward my closing costs. When I calculated my payoff compared to my closing costs, there is no way the {$590.00} was used toward the closing costs.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer filled out the opt-out form for overdraft protection with Wells Fargo Bank of all debit card transactions ; however, Wells Fargo has cleared a debit payment that should have been declined. I am in the process of moving, every thing is hectic, and I forgot to change the due date for this auto pay. Under normal circumstances, this transaction would have been declined and not cleared. This has caused an overdraft fee and overdraft of my account which would have a balance if this illegal transaction had not gone through. Wells Fargo refuses to reverse the transaction, stating that Wells Fargo has the option of paying the transaction even though I have filled out an opt-out form. What is the use of this form when Wells Fargo will not honor it.

I was given 12 months to pay the monies back without interest of XXXX percent as I filled out a credit card application through XXXX XXXX XXXX and Wells Fargo financed the transaction.

Wells Fargo is now charging me XXXX percent on the original amount owed of {$9500.00}. 
Although I substantially paid down the amount owed they say I now owe them an additional {$1900.00}. They are acting as if I did not make payments. They are basically saying that if borrowed {$10000.00} on day 1 and on day 365 I paid them back {$9900.00} then I owe them an additional {$2700.00} because I owed them a dollar. 
Please help me. The true interest rate on this loan since I made payments to reduce it is more than XXXX percent. 
I have now received a statement saying I owe them {$1900.00}. Pathetic.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo, formerly Wachovia MortgageBack in 2006, a XXXX year old XXXX and his wife received orders to XXXX for the XXXX leg of a XXXX. The housing market was HOT! They consulted various big lenders, and ended up buying a house for {$140000.00}, with an XXXX/XXXX loan through Wachovia ( Now Wells Fargo ). This was an alternate to a VA loan, but still 100 % financing. The second loan ( 20 % of the purchase price ) was going to be a highter interest rate, but it was a seemingly necessary program to do to buy a home in such a hot market. Three years later, the housing market went bust. Same year, the now new parents, received XXXX. They refi'ed the XXXX house, with the big mortgage loan being now 5.875 %, and the small, 20 % mortgage being a whopping 8.62 % interest rate. Now, XXXX in XXXX, the couple rent out the home in XXXX for a loss of about {$250.00} a month. 
This couple is my husband and myself. I have called Wells Fargo for years now, begging to refi the house. Interest rates are LOW now. Their response remains the same - They will not refi it because it is not my primary residence. But it is not my primary residence ANYMORE, because the XXXX had other plans for my family. I 've asked everyone there, every year, what I can do? Who can I call? The most definitive answer I have received from them is " just to short sale the home. '' Yes, they recommended to short sale the home. We do n't want to do that. It was our American Dream to buy our first home, and we did, proudly, and used nothing but American owned companies in the process. 
I do not want the home given to us, or defaulted on by us. I want a fair chance to refinance the home on FAIR terms. 8.62 % interest rate ( the small loan ) is far from fair. This company has made ENOUGH money due to the misfortunes of others. We have never been late on a payment, or never discussed foreclosing or a short sale. Unfortunately, nothing can be done until we receive orders back to XXXX and that can be our primary residence again.
