Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Ive been having problems with Wells Fargo saying that I have an available balance in my checking account that o do n't actually have so I removed overdraft protection off my account so that I would not be able to spend what I do not have. My account is overdrawn because of a transaction that was allowed to go through when I did n't have the money and I was charged an overdraft fee. I also have a purchase pending that I paid for with debit so should have been instantly removed from my account. Wells Fargo is continuously conducting fraudulent activity on my account. The reason the law was made for banks to give people the option to remove overdraft protection was for this very reason and wells Fargo is doing their part.

Complaint narrative:
My mother sent me money from her Wells Fargo Bank account to my XXXX XXXX XXXX Account. It was sent on XX/XX/2017 and it is XX/XX/2017 and have not yet received the money. I have an email showing the transaction date of XX/XX/XXXX but not money as of XXXX EST. I am XXXX and trying to return home and have limited access. This is absolute unacceptable that a bank is allowed to hold onto money this long. It has been officially over 3 business days. If I was to transfer money to my mother the other way around she would get it less than 24 hours. How is it a bank can hold on to money transfer this long.

Apparently Wells Fargo, who does not own my home nor anyone else for that matter, has sold my home at XXXX New York XXXX. I have been asking for proof as to has my mortgage and original promissory note and all I receive are these botched papers that are not true or even legal. XXXX who I pay my electric and water to, has switched my bill over to the gentleman who claims to have bought my home. I have received nothing in writing from anyone on this and have not even received any kind of paperwork from a bank, attorney, court or otherwise.I have had it with this, i am a consumer and my rights are supposed to be upheld and look how far this has gone. i demand to have my rights taken in to consideration. As far as I am concerned, this is theft and fraud and someone needs to answer.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted numerous complaints with the cfpb, and each time the complaint is completed it is sent to Wells Fargo and it is sent to there loss midigation department and the same representative. 
The resolution provided are by far true. 
Conversations with the rep have clearly stated there were errors made with my title and that they have filed a claim with the title company. they had indicated they were investigating only to send me a letter stating they answered the complaint in XXXX. 
I have furnished them with a XXXX page complete title report in which there were XXXX liens prior to my modifcation and insist it was an error by XXXX XXXX. Sadly we know that not to be true that a complete title was not ordered by Wells Fargo, if it was, the facts would be there. They stated they showed a judgement when i completed the modification which we all know judgement 's do not show on title. The lack of purpose or meaning to the people at Wells handling this case is totally unexceptable. 
They claim to have people working on this issue in different departments but there is no true resolution since they cant admit the errors they made. 
I also had advised the rep of calls from there people in title calling and yelling at me telling me 6 months later that i had to resign a duplicate mortgage because of mistakes made, and there response is they spoke to me acceptable. Acceptable and no explanation on a duplicate mortgage?? Yelling at homeowers is still acceptable by Wells? 
I asked recently about a principle reduction that XXXX XXXX is offering and i was told i was n't entitled since i was n't behind in my mortgage in XXXX. XXXX XXXX rolled this program out prior to XXXX, and with just receiving the appraisal on my home 2 years later showing my property was worth XXXX in 2014 and a modification was given to me for XXXX?????? who does these things. They just send a letter apologizing???? That 's not legal! Neither is allowing a modification with with liens on property. 
I dont get with the OCC involved and all the new laws protecting borrowers how all these mistakes were made and are still being made. 
The office of the President doesnt review complaint, but sends these letters down. 
Does anyone care? 
Last is my insurance that was taken when i received my mortgage that clearly had the proper insurance that covered the condo fees if any errors on title were made, and Wells is saying that the policy did not have any. I do n't know how that is possible since i paid for it with Wachovia who Wells purchase but when they completed the mod they didnt include it.

Company: LendUp Loans LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a payday loan in the amount of {$250.00} from LendUp.com. As of now, they show that I still owe them but I never received the money because while it shows it was successfully deposited on XXXX/XXXX/14 ( which was my ONLY deposit on XXXX/XXXX/14 ) there is also a reversal of {$250.00} + a {$5.00} fee charged to my account. So, I essentially never received the money. They are still saying I owe them, when I have the bank statement that shows that XXXX deposit on XX/XX/2014- then a reversal for that same amount, as well as the overdraft balance of XXXX as a result of the {$250.00} being reversed on my account. 

You are n't able to speak to a live person when you call, they are on a regular M-F XXXX-XXXX schedule, and you have to basically schedule a call back so you end up paying phone tag and nothing will get resolved.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo re-ordered my transactions to post the newest, largest debit first and the oldest, smallest debit last so that the first would put my account into the negative and then charge XXXX {$35.00} overdraft fees. There were only XXXX debits. XXXX for {$4.00} and XXXX for {$20.00}. Wells Fargo purposely re-ordered the transactions to result in XXXX fees instead of just XXXX as the first was covered by my balance in the account. The second was a bill payment that they rushed through on the same day when it normally takes that payment XXXX3 days to post. So they rushed the {$20.00} bill payment through in order to incur {$70.00} in overdraft fees. I made a deposit of {$40.00} cash the next day and then discovered that the bill payment had already posted and incurred the fees. The previous month, it took 3 days for that payment to post to my account which is normal as I have been making that monthly credit card payment for years and it always takes several days to post.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I assumed ( through the VA Loan Assumption process ) the current loan. Just prior to the loan assumption process being complete, the previous owner filed for bankruptcy. Once the loan assumption process was complete, it was understood that the bankruptcy filing would not have an effect on me and would be removed from the loan due to the fact the previous owner who filed for bankruptcy was no longer on the loan nor listed on the deed. My attorney and I ( I have had to hire an attorney to try to resolve this issue ) have been in contact with the mortgage company since XX/XX/XXXX requesting that the bankruptcy status and any affiliation of such be removed as the mortgage company is/was reflecting my mortgage loan account as being in an active bankruptcy status as I have never filed for bankruptcy or ever been affiliated with any actions. The mortgage company has continuously given us the runaround, provided inaccurate information and this issue continues to go unresolved. 
To explain the attached documents is as follows : Attached documents reflect bankruptcy filing of previous owner, ongoing response reply finally in XX/XX/XXXX then followed on in XX/XX/XXXX stating that they agreed and confirmed I was not included in the bankruptcy filing and that my account would be removed from the active bankruptcy status effective XX/XX/XXXX. Upon follow-up to confirm this was removed on XX/XX/XXXX it was noted that my account was still listed in an active bankruptcy status and that no one was advised to remove this status from my account. On XX/XX/XXXX my attorney and I left a voicemail message to XXXX XXXX XXXX of Wells Fargo Customer Care and Recovery Group, advising her of the ongoing issue still requiring resolve and requesting her assistance and immediate feedback. The letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from my attorney was spawned in connection to the continued inaccurate information and lack of proper account update. On XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo then mailed the attached letter which specified I was discharged from personal liability for this mortgage loan and that my loan was in default, stating I needed to bring the loan current with further language of we can not delay potential legal action, which may include foreclosure, and although you will not be personal liable for the debt, you will lose interest and rights to the property. This letter was inaccurate and quite displeasing to receive as my account was current, never late and the inaccuracies listed within the letter were abounded.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a case for a HAFA DEED in LIEU procedure with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage on XXXX XXXX, 2016. 

By XXXX XXXX, 2016, I had submitted all the documentation required. The house was appraised by a real estate broker on XXXX XXXX, 2016. 

Originally I was told that once I did all of the above, my DEED IN LIEU would be approved by HAFA within a month. 

Once I completed delivering all the documents they demanded ( they said they are not going to ask any more documents ) they changed the story. Now they are saying the process will take more than six months. I was told the next step is for them to get mortgage insurance approval. I am suspecting they are trying to sell my loan to an investor and that is why they need mortgage insurance. If they do sell the loan the DEED IN LIEU is not going to happen. I will have to start the process with the new bank all over again. 

In the mean time the house, now vacant, has been vandalized. I had to spend {$500.00} to board up the property. The neighborhood has deteriorated ; there is drugs and house invasions. When I first moved in, the neighborhood was safe. At some point it was deteriorating. I was mugged and moved out and rented the house. In XXXX 2016 my tenant moved out without paying the rent for two months. That is when I started the HAFA process. 

I feel my trust in this HAFA process was misplaced. The bank never intended to proceed with a DEED IN LIEU but they kept leading me on until I gave them all the documents they needed to sell the loan. 

Also, my credit report, as of XXXX XXXX, 2016 has a note from Wells Fargo that reads " Subscriber reports dispute resolved - Consumer disagrees '' which I do n't think is accurate ( my FICO score had been XXXX in XXXX 2016 ; now XXXX is XXXX and XXXX is XXXX ). 

I do have health issues. In XXXX 2016 I moved to XXXX XXXX to get support from my family here. Moving back to XXXX is not an option. And specially to a city block that has been taken over by drugs. Selling is not an option either since the house is under the water. I need your help, please.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to set up an estate banking account at Wells Fargo bank. I was told by the Store Manager - XXXX XXXX - that I can not have that type of bank account, I need to set up a checking account linked to a savings account. I objected but she would not budge. Also, the Short Certificate ( I am the Executor ), had my married name, but the Will had my maiden name. Wells Fargo legal accepted the documents, but the Store Manager demanded that I bring in a copy of my marriage certificate or else she would close the account. I opened the account with XXXX checks - XXXX of which was a certified bank check from XXXX. She told me that it would take 8 days for the checks to clear. In addition, she looked into other unrelated accounts I had with Wells Fargo and suggested that I do something else with those accounts. I objected to her inspection, yet she continued on about that account and kept asking me to look at other banking arrangements for that account. I explained very clearly to her that I was there to set up a checking account only for the estate of my mother, but she did not listen. She took my checks and told me that the funds would be available 8 days later ; however I needed to provide to her a copy of my marriage cetificate ( she wanted it, not legal ) or else she would close the account. I waited five days and decided to close the account out today, but she refused to close the account and began to instruct me on how I should be doing my banking. I am very insulted by her lack of people skills ... her inspection into unrelated accounts ... her insulting my intelligence, especially at this most difficult time. Plus, when I went to close the account, she threatened to call law enforcement because I was becoming upset at her insulting nature. I am concerned that the money for the estate is being held up due to this person 's views on banking and the possibility that my concerns were dismissed because of my ethnicity.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft in XX/XX/2015. Someone opened XXXX new phone lines and purchased XXXX iPhones and there was an attempt to purchase XXXX additional lines at another retail store but the clerk did not fall for the fake ID. I disputed the inquiries and accounts and placed a security alert. Both companies involved investigated and it was determined that someone had used my identity to make the purchases.

Recently I realized that XXXX XXXX XXXX is still reporting a hard inquiry on Equifax. I again disputed this and received a notice from Equifax that this was investigated and determined to be factual. I have a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX specifically stating that it was determined that there was fraud and that XXXX XXXX XXXX had also notified all three agencies to remove any negative information from my credit report. I do n't understand the investigative process ... ... ..I am forwarding the letter from XXXX XXXX again to Equifax as I do n't know what else to do. I wonder if they even investigate at all. This all happened over a year ago and I am still having to deal with this.
