Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I mistakenly transferred $ XXXX from my checking account to my credit card instead of my savings account. Upon realizing the error, I contacted Wells Fargo customer service to request a reversal or refund. The representative informed me that the only option was to send a check within 30 days. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX to check the status. They told me they had no way of checking the status and advised me to call back if I hadn't received the check by the end of the 30 days. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the same number again and was informed that the check had been sent on XX/XX/XXXX and to allow a few more days for delivery. 

By XX/XX/XXXX, I still hadn't received the check. When I called again, I was told the request was still awaiting approval, contrary to what I had been previously told. A representative then generated a case number XXXX and provided an XXXX phone number, XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX number. The representative stated they didn't have a status update and would need until XX/XX/XXXX to investigate further. I requested to speak to a XXXX, but none were available. The representative committed to having a XXXX call me with a status update no later than XX/XX/XXXX.
