Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AP

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received an email notification from Wells Fargo that the terms for my checking account were changing, and that I would be subject to a $ XXXX monthly fine unless I met a few particular circumstances ( minimum daily balance, certain direct deposits, etc. ). 

I am stationed overseas on the XXXX XXXX base in XXXX, XXXX, and I don't really have any use for this Wells Fargo account any more, so I tried to close the account using the Wells Fargo app. The app indicated that I could not do so using the app, that I had to call XXXX. 

Even though this is a " toll free '' number, when calling from XXXX it still costs international calling fees for the caller. I called and navigated the menus to close my account, the call was forwarded to their Customer Service center, which indicated that they were closed, and directed me to call back " during normal business hours '' ( but gave no indication of WHAT those hours are. 

From there I went to the Wells Fargo website, where I was directed to a form that I could mail in to close my account. I started filling out the form and noted at the end that Wells Fargo REQUIRES the form to be notarized. 

This all seems excessively burdensome, and terribly unethical. In 2024, Wells Fargo customers should be able to close their accounts without having to pay international telephone charges or to go through the hassle of printing, notarizing, and mailing a form. They are the third largest bank by assets in the US -- the fact that they have intentionally NOT had a technical/online solution for customers who no longer need their services, without being subject to fees, is criminally absurd. 

Particularly in light of Wells Fargo 's previous business practices, this seems to me to be just another case of them racketeering and bleeding their customers with fees.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Complaint To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax regarding the reporting of my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy account. The details are as follows : Account Status : Discharged Reference Number : XXXX I have recently reviewed my credit reports from all three major credit reporting agencies : XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I have found that while Equifax has reported this bankruptcy account, the other two agencies ( XXXX and XXXX ) were unable to verify the existence of this account. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. The fact that two out of three agencies could not verify this account indicates a clear failure to meet this standard. 

Given this situation, I formally request the immediate deletion of this bankruptcy account from my Equifax credit report. The continued presence of this unverified account is a violation of the FCRA and negatively impacts my creditworthiness. 

I expect a prompt response to this complaint, and I request that you provide a free copy of my credit report after any necessary adjustments have been made.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate late payment entries reported on my credit profile associated with my account with Ally Financial. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, creditors must ensure the accuracy of the information they report to credit bureaus. I have maintained a consistent payment history and have never been late on any payments. 

Despite my request for documentation to validate these late payment claims, I have not received any evidence supporting this assertion. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I have the right to dispute information in my credit report and request that you investigate the accuracy of the reported late payments. Without sufficient documentation proving that I was late, you are obligated to correct my credit report and remove any inaccuracies. 

I urge you to review my account and the reported late payment entries. If you can not provide the necessary documentation to validate the claims of late payments, I request that you correct my credit profile by removing these inaccuracies promptly. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt resolution.
