Complaint narrative:
"

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
When I entered XXXX  Wells Fargo was present during orientation claiming it would be prudent to open a credit card for purchasing books, etc to establish good credit. I did so with my parents, along with a checking account. At this time Wells Fargo automatically created a savings account without my knowledge or telling me about it - and no notification of fees associated with said savings account. This was around late Summer of XXXX 

I've known about Wells Fargo 's lawsuit around their shady business practices and honestly expected them to reach out to me as was part of the terms of their settlement, but I have not been reached out to or received any reimbursement for this account being opened without my knowledge or say-so, or knowing about the terms of the account. 

I've just noticed that continuing today, I've been being charged monthly fees due to not meeting account minimum requirement of $ XXXX, and I naturally don't use this account as I didn't sign up for it and don't need it at all given that it's APY is so far below what is available in other savings accounts. I've attached screenshots of fees being charged and the monthly fee terms, which again, I never agreed to considering I never opened a savings account with Wells Fargo myself- they did it. 

This account is also tied to receiving the credit card cash back benefits also shown in my attached screenshot of account activity, which are obviously minimal compared to the account minimums or what I would receive in interest if I kept {$300.00} in a higher APY savings vehicle. 

I'm reaching out because I have friends that have shared that Wells Fargo reached out to them with payment due to this lawsuit where they had the same exact thing happen to them, a savings account being opened without their knowing when they signed up for a credit card when they went to XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I had this conversation with a representative of the Net Credit customer service department on XX/XX/year>. When I asked why I was being charged 65 % interest, they said that it was because of my XXXX  financial status and that I was a high risk.

She said that I should look for a red button on the home page that would indicate that I was " eligible '' for consideration for a lower rate.
