Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a second complaint regarding my dispute with Wells Fargo, as they have once again wrongfully denied my claim despite clear evidence that my debit card was used fraudulently. I previously provided a police report confirming that my card was stolen along with my bag, which contained my PIN. My stolen card was used at two separate locations, neither of which were near me at the time of the transactions.

Wells Fargo has failed to uphold consumer protection laws in handling my case. Specifically, the bank has violated Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) by refusing to reimburse me for unauthorized transactions. Under this law, I am entitled to a full refund for unauthorized withdrawals, especially since I promptly reported my card stolen and provided supporting evidence, including the police report.

Additionally, two Wells Fargo representatives lied to me during my dispute process, providing false information regarding my rights and the banks obligations under federal law. This constitutes deceptive practices, further justifying regulatory action against Wells Fargo.

I demand that Wells Fargo immediately reimburse my stolen funds as required under EFTA and CFPB regulations. Their continued refusal to do so is a direct violation of consumer protection laws, and I urge the CFPB to take swift action to ensure they comply. 

Please escalate this matter and enforce the necessary regulations to hold Wells Fargo accountable for their negligence and deceptive practices.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

To be absolutely clear : This is not my accountit belongs solely to my husband. I was only listed as an authorized user, and at no point did either of us request a dispute or removal. This action was taken without our knowledge or consent, and it is a direct failure by the credit bureaus to accurately handle consumer data.

To address this matter, I have already filed complaints with : The XXXX Attorney General The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) on XX/XX/year> However, immediate action is required from the CFPB to ensure that TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX correct their reporting errors and prevent further unauthorized interference in my husbands account. Requested Action : Contact XXXX XXXX XXXX  to confirm that no dispute was ever filed by me or my husband and reinstate me as an authorized user on his account.

I appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and look forward to your response.
