Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have an account with Wells Fargo and have never had any issues, however, I was the victim of fraud recently. The company, when contacted, is refusing to help and purposely providing me with misinformation. On XX/XX/XXXX I finished using the gym for a few hours and picked up my bag with my phone in it- I noticed notifications from XXXX about recent account activity. I checked the activity and it showed a cancelled transaction from a XXXX XXXX for {$370.00}, and Completed transactions for the same amount from a XXXX XXXX ( {$370.00} ) and and additional {$100.00} for a total of {$470.00} money stolen. I do not know these people and have never heard these names in my life, and the money that was taken caused me great distress. I went on social media and noticed other people in the area reported that this individual ( XXXX XXXX ) has been hacking peoples accounts and to be on the lookout. Seeing this, I contacted my bank shortly after and they agreed to open a case. They said there is no need to file a police report and instructed they will call me within several business days. The next week ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called back since I never received any updates as was promised. I spoke to a reporesentative and he stated the investigation was complete- they denied my claim due to them determining it was an authorized transaction which is not correct, I asked to appeal this under Regulation E as was advised by my employers legal advisors and they stated the following : Sorry, XXXX XXXX are not protected under Regulation E. I asked This was unauthorized. Are you saying fraudulent XXXX transactions are not protected even when unauthorized? And the representative stated, That is correct, sir. He said the only way to have this reopened is to write a formal letter and send it via post or fax it, but even then he does not believe this will be looked at. This attitude and the way this was handled is an infringement of our rights as consumers and makes us feel we have no protections when it comes to banks, they simply do not want to help. I am deeply frustrated and disappointed and would like your assistance with a resolution to this. They make this very difficult for an everyday person to manage and outright dissuade and misinform rather than escalating or looking into a case of fraud further. Please help.

Complaint narrative:
I was with the phone company XXXX four years before I decide to make the switch to XXXX. I made sure all my service bills were paid and I completely paid off the device I got from XXXX. After this, XXXX still comes bothering me about a random equipment charge that they say I owe which is {$310.00} in total. I immediately call XXXX and explain to them that I never received this equipment that they claim I owe them. I stated that I have never discussed that I need any such equipment. XXXX claim they would do an investigation I never got back to me. In XX/XX/2023 received a collection account totaling in the amount of XXXX XXXX This was highly alarming due to the fact that I have NO derogatory marks on my credit report. I then checked " XXXX XXXX '' and seen that this collection account was from a company called " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I then proceeded to send them a validation letter asking for any proof that I asked for this equipment, proof that I ever received this equipment, or any proof that I've ever signed any document stating that I wanted this equipment. This company then sent me a response letter saying that the charges are valid without verifying anything. In my validation letter I also explained to them that I would go to the consumer financial protection bureau if they did not properly investigate this!! THEY FAILED to properly investigate the issue and did not remove the negative collection account!! This should be illegal and it is wrong, just because I switched phone carriers does not mean I should be squeezed for every dollar, or falsely accused of owing money for something random. This company has hurt my credit score and this collection account shall immediately be removed due to them falsely accusing me!
