Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted my bank ( Wells Fargo ) regarding a debit from my account from XXXX that I did not authorize. I filed a claim for {$220.00} then {$90.00}. I was issued a temporary credit while they investigated. On XXXX, I received a letter stating the investigation was closed and I authorized the transaction. The letter stated I could call the number and receive documentation that made my bank reach that judgement. The letter also stated that the temporary credit will be reversed " 5 business days after XXXX/XXXX/15 ''. I called customer service to get information about my claim. I was told that it was closed but they still are in arbitration with XXXX and I may in fact get my money back. They told me that XXXX has until XXXX XXXX to respond again. I asked if they are still working to get the money back, why are they needing to reverse the credit. I was told that at that point they had to. No real answers. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 after XXXX, the credit was reversed. I had outstanding debits because I was expecting them to reverse the credit when they said they would. I called and requested to speak with a manager. I was told they will have a manager call me back within 24-48hrs. No call back. I received a bill from XXXX, showing where they reversed the payment of {$220.00} and put it back on my bill. I contacted customer service on XXXX, letting them know that XXXX reversed that. I wanted to know why if XXXX reversed it, why is my bank stating that the money was with XXXX. I also let them know I never received a call from manager. The representative stated no one was available to assist me since it was escalated to manager, so I must wait for a call. She put in a XXXX request. This is XXXX and I still have n't heard anything.

Complaint narrative:
Several years ago ( about 2004 ) my sister ( XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, New York ) asked me to assist her with getting an home equity line of credit from Wells Fargo for the amount of {$30000.00}. After saying no for months she convinced me that she was going to lose her home so I reluctantly agreed. The bank pretty much badger me to take something because I could not sign and not benefit. I decided to let them pay only my credit cards and they said that was not enough. Eventually, I decided to accept {$20000.00} which included the payments of my XXXX or XXXX credit cards for a total of {$6000.00} to {$7000.00} and the balance I would use to pay monthly towards the total of {$50000.00} if my sister ran into difficulty paying the bank. I went on vacation and on my return to the airport I got several messages on my cell phone that I should contact the bank regarding the non payment of my mortgage. At the time I was giving my sister {$400.00} per month towards the payment of the {$50000.00}. I called the bank and was told that I had a mortgage. I told them that I do not own a home and they told me that the document I signed was for a mortgage and that I am responsible to pay for my sister 's mortgage and that they wanted to collect. After trying to convince my sister to sell the home and/or get my name off of her property and let us recuperate our credit. She instead, changed her phone number and ceased all communicating with me. I tried to let my mother and siblings intervened on my behalf, but it became problematic for the family, so I took her to court. After three years of court and XXXX courts ruling in my favour in XXXX segments of the trial, via my attorney they ( her attorney, the bank and her ) asked me to stop the case so they could do a modification or re-modification of the mortgage and take my name off of the property documents and I would no longer be responsible and they would write to the credit bureau on my behalf to clear my credit. So, on the advise of my attorney, I signed the paper to allow the court to dismiss the case with prejudice. The property continued to remain on my credit report until I found out recently, while I was trying to qualify for a mortgage to get home of my own, that the modification or re-modification of the mortgage was done with my name still attached and I am still responsible for her mortgage. Now, I am having difficulty even qualifying for a simple personal loan and would like to know how did the bank, her attorney and her manage to have her mortgage modified or re-modified with my name still attached to the property without my consent or my knowledge.

Complaint narrative:
I took out a home project loan via a credit card at Wells Fargo, my normal banking institution. This was about 4 and a half years ago. It was a zero interest card as long as I made monthly payments and was not late. Well with three payments left, I get a new card in the mail and my old account showed as cancelled online. I called and they said that the automatic bill pay service was not active like it was on the old account, so I had to make a manual payment to avoid late fees and cancellation of my promotional interest rate. I did that, and then they proceed to take the original payment out as well. I am irate because I spoke with them about this beforehand and now they are holding on to more of my money that I do n't have access to. Very shady business practices.

Complaint narrative:
1. On XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage requiring me to submit proof of flood insurance on a home I own and on which they hold a mortgage. 
2. The mortgage has been in effect since XX/XX/XXXX and I have never required flood insurance. This is probably because the home is in the middle of the XXXX XXXX and about a XXXX miles from any water bodies. 
3. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I called WFHM to inquire about this. They admitted it was a mistake. They said they would send a letter confirming that flood insurance was not required on the property. No letter came. 
4. On or about XX/XX/2016 I called WFHM to ask about the letter. They assured me one would go out. WFHM has no identification of its phone agents, they will not send an email, and the only identification I got was from some phone attendant named XXXX. Again no letter came. 
5. The letter is important because : a ) Wells Fargo Home Mortgage refinanced this home in approximately XX/XX/XXXX, promising a rate of 3.75 %. When the documents came for signing, the rate was 4 %. It took a complaint with the CFPB and the Wyoming Attorney General to resolve the issue in my favor, since WFHM was unresponsive. 
b ) This is the same company that took it upon itself to take out an insurance policy on the home, charging me {$3000.00}, when I already had insurance in place. It took a WF Bank employee 2 months to reverse the charges.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2016 I made a deposit of {$900.00} via ATM. My account was overdrawn for the first time. I have deposited many checks from the same issuer in the past and have never had a hold placed on one until now. I called Wells Fargo and they advised me they could not remove the hold because the funds were not verifiable. I explained to them I have deposited many of these checks in the past and this is the first time they have placed a hold on one. They told me to call the issuer and verify funds are there. I did just that. I called XXXX and sent email ( see attached ) and funds are present to cash the check. I called Wells Fargo back and they said they still ca n't remove the hold from the account. I told them I felt as if they are doing this now because I have a negative balance and they just want to collect more fees from me. I have been with Wells for 20 years and have never had this issue. I sent email to XXXX and advised them the bank was saying the funds are still not verifiable. I then went into a branch office. The supervisor there told me she called XXXX and they banker would not verify funds available. She told me she would waive XXXX in fees. I then asked why they are placing a hold of nine days or more on this one check. She repeated that they could not verifiy funds. I advised the accounting folks at XXXX and again they are advising me the check shows as cashed on their end and cleared the account. Whom am I to believe at this point? The company who stands to gain from my misfortune in overdraft fees or the company who issued the check? I am still getting fees from Wells Fargo and plan to close all six accounts with them. I need to know why they can hold my money after the issuer confirms it has cleared their account? They are only doing this as policy to collect additional charges. A customer service specialist I spoke to stopped just short of agreeing they are doing this to just collect more in fees. See emails and copy of check attached.

Complaint narrative:
My wife purchased a drink at XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16. Address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. EXACTLY XXXX minutes later an online charge of {$310.00} was made to XXXX XXXX, and an online charge of {$1100.00} was made to XXXX in XXXX and another online charge of {$320.00} made to XXXX XXXX was Declined by Wells Fargo. So it appears that 15 minutes after my wife purchased a Smoothie there were XXXX online charges made Fraudulently by a store employee who skimmed my credit card number. I have active Fraud cases open with Wells Fargo for these charges. She returned home immediately after buying the Smoothie so there was no other store purchases by her or myself. I was at work. I do not know who attempted these purchases. I assume they are female because of the XXXX XXXX purchases. So I am unable to provide the information requested above for the name of the person who committed this crime. I want to be refunded {$310.00} back to my card. I myself contacted XXXX to stop the {$1100.00} charge. Wells Fargo is saying they will not refund the {$310.00} because they show it was delivered to my address. It was not. 4 times a year this stuff shows up on 60 minutes where they get tracking info and wait for XXXX to deliver while you are at work.. Anybody can get any address from the name on your CC in 2 minutes from XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was a previous customer of Wachovia Bank ( now Wells Fargo ), XXXX, SC in XXXX. During this time frame I had a checking account with debit card associated with my account. My account was forcefully closed due to unauthorized debit purchases that result in an - {$750.00} in my account. I went to my local Branch during this time frame ( off of XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and spoke to the branch manager ( XXXX ) about my account. During this conversation, I was never given an option to file a claim, I was not show the transactions that were posted to my account that resulted in the overdraft, and the branch manager ( XXXX ) stated that there was no remedies for stolen card. 

I have been denied a new checking account since this incident since it was posted on my credit. I have now recently opened a new account and have been educated on the neglect that Wells Fargo did with my account, their neglect to inform me about my options, and their neglect to allow fraud transactions build on my account AND charge me overdraft fees.

Complaint narrative:
After a period of financial difficulty, I received an offer from Wells Fargo for a loan modification to bring the account current and to lower the monthly payment. I needed to make a payment by the end of each month ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX to qualify. To assure the payments were received by the last day of the month, I utilized XXXX 2-Day service. Apparently, the XXXX delivered the Priority Mail package with my XXXX payment XXXX weeks late! I did not know that this occurred until I received a letter XXXX from Wells Fargo stating the XXXX payment had not been received and that I was ousted from the Loan Modification plan. On the same day that letter was received from Wells Fargo, I received a letter from their attorney. I promptly replied to Wells Fargo and supplied documentation from XXXX showing the package was supposed to be delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, but did not arrive until XX/XX/XXXX! With that reply and documentation, I also included another payment for XX/XX/XXXX I believed that once Wells Fargo reviewed the documentation and saw that I attempted to make the XXXX payment on time and that XXXX mishandled the package, I would be placed back into the Loan Modification program. Unfortunately, today I received a letter returning the XXXX payment. I acted in good faith to make the trial payments as required. I believe that Wells Fargo should act in good faith, given the documentation and proof provided them, to continue the loan modification as originally offered.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
5 years ago I fell 2 months behind on my mortgage. I reached out to my lender, Bayview Loan Servicing LLC, for assistance and they told me I was ok and that when I fell to 3 months behind they had programs and options available to help me with my financial situation. The day I hit the 3 month behind mark, I called the lender to make a payment and schedule the remaining XXXX late payments for XXXX weeks later via automatic withdraw to bring the account current, only to find out that I was being processed for foreclosure. Unfortunately my situation required a chapter XXXX bankruptcy ( the debt was mine and I should be responsible for paying it back, not wiped clean and given a free ride ). Since filing for bankruptcy, I have made every monthly payment to my current mortgage lender, Bayview Loan Servicing LLC, ( sometimes a little more ) for the last 5 years as per my chapter XXXX bankruptcy requirements. I have the receipts and or conformation numbers to verify each payment. Twice during the bankruptcy Bayview incurred debt on my behalf without my permission ( they paid my property taxes when I have never had an escrow ). They attempted to have my bankruptcy discharged stating I was 6 months behind, again we had the receipts to prove their accusation wrong. As of the end of XXXX 2015 I have been released from my bankruptcy as paid in full. I just attempted to refinance under a VA loan and much to my surprise Bayview is reporting me as delinquent, again we have made each monthly payment with receipt to verify, as recently as XXXX 2015 even thought they say I have a XXXX $ credit. Bayview Loan Servicing LLC even sent a letter to the bankruptcy trustees stating we were current on our loan. As a result of their improper reporting habits I can not refinance under any loan to get out from their 9 % interest rate. Can someone please help resolve our issue? I have been fighting with this company for years now. Research has shown Bayview Loan Servicing LLC to have terrible consumer relations and would appear they are in the business of forcing people out of their homes.
