Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I deposited in person a debt-consolidation check from XXXX to my Wells Fargo credit card. This created a credit balance of {$20000.00}, which has shown as a negative balance in my online account since that date. I was told to request a refund the next day, which I did on XX/XX/year>. After several follow-ups with no resolution, I filed a Wells Fargo complaint on XX/XX/year> ( Case No. XXXX ; Case ManageXXXX XXXX, ext. XXXX ). Im repeatedly told the refund is in research, and the internal deadline has been pushed to XX/XX/year>. 

Regulation Z ( 12 C.F.R. 1026.11 ( a ) ( 2 ) ) requires a creditor to refund a credit balance within seven business days of receiving a written request. I have now submitted a formal written request and Wells Fargos own policy states that overpayments must be refunded ( by check for amounts over {$2500.00} ). Despite this, no refund has been issued. 

This prolonged delay is causing financial harm. I used a BHG loan to make the payment and I am being charged 14.747995 % APR on those funds. Using a XXXX daily periodic rate, interest accrues at $ XXXX on {$20000.00}. As of XX/XX/year>, the interest attributable to the frozen refund totals {$470.00} and continues to grow daily. 

I am asking the CFPB to help ensure Wells Fargo follows Regulation Z and its own stated refund policy, and to address the financial harm caused by the delay.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
