Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I called Experians dispute department on Monday, XX/XX/2023, on or around XXXX P.M. XXXX. After a long hold, I got to an agent who identified as XXXX. He informed me he was a supervisor and located in XXXX XXXX. I told XXXX I need to file a fraud dispute and that I dont want a fraud alert. There is a fraudulent collection account on my credit report. XXXX refused to transfer me to the fraud department unless he verified my personal information ( name, address, date of birth, social, etc ). I refused and asked XXXX a second time to please transfer me to the fraud department. XXXX refused again. I asked XXXX XXXX times to transfer me to fraud so I can file a fraud dispute. He continued to refuse then he deliberately disconnected the phone while I was speaking. I never used any profanity. This is egregious. Experian needs to terminate this rude employee. As a result, I was unable to file a fraud dispute over the phone. This violates federal and state law which gives me the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit file. XXXX behavior was unacceptable and unprofessional.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I used the wells fargo online checking bill pay service to pay my property tax. The check for {$6400.00} was supposed to be sent out on XX/XX/ and delivered by XX/XX/ to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in order to pay for my property tax. The money was withdrawn from my account on XXXX XXXX XXXX however the XXXX XXXX XXXX told me they did not receive the check in time. While this service has worked to pay this bill in the past, this time the payment did not arrive by the promised date. I was charged a {$650.00} late fee. 

Wells fargo documentation states that wells fargo promises to pay for late fees which occur due to them not getting payments delivered on time. I also had support people on the phone reiterate their policy is to pay late fees when their system does not deliver checks to payees by the promised date. 

When I call the wells fargo bill pay specialists to inquire about this case and about them paying this fee for me I get the run around and I get ignored. A wells fargo bill pay specialist ended up telling me they won't pay this fee on my behalf. I was promised a higher level manager would call me back in 24 hours but no one ever reached out to me. 

I want Wells Fargo to hold up their word and pay the late fee I incurred due to their system not getting the check to the XXXX XXXX by the time promised.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was searching for a vein-finder medical device online. I was happy to find the device at an affordable price at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. The website looked very legitimate. I corresponded with a member of the sales team, " XXXX, '' via email for a few days about the device. I was vetting them, asking detailed questions, and requesting details of the device before I purchased. I am a very skeptical person when buying online but they complied with all my requests. They said the only way to pay was via wire transfer. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wired them {$1100.00} for the device and they responded saying they would ship my device as soon as they verified the wire. Soon after, they stopped responding to all of my emails. The phone number listed on their website was not in service. I never received the device. 

After I assumed I had been scammed ( about 5 days later ), I immediately contacted my bank ( Wells Fargo ) to report the fraud. I think this was on XX/XX/XXXX. I offered supporting documentation ( like my email correspondence, real time pictures of the device, and pictures of the invoice, etc but they denied needing it. The agent said they would contact me if they needed any additional information. Shortly after this call, I filed a report with the FBI internet crimes division about the fraud. 

Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received a letter in the mail today saying Wells Fargo denied my claim because I they could not get the funds back. I am aware its difficult to get funds back from a wire transfer, but that is what having insurance is for. 

I called Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX requesting to appeal the claim and they again denied the need for any of my supporting documentation, and said I could not appeal it. They weren't interested in even seeing anything. They said they have a protocol they have to follow and basically told me " too bad. '' I have been a customer for almost 20 years and have never reported a claim like this. If every aspect of the transaction seemed legitimate and it turns out being fraud, is there no protection from my financial institution? I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in how I was treated as a customer and am considering closing all of my accounts and credit cards with Wells Fargo if this can not be remedied as I feel I am no longer protected by them as a consumer.
