Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX an account was opened in my name under false pretense by someone using fraudulent information. The person took the money and ran. I reached out to bank for assistance in getting resolve but they were only concerned about getting paid. In fact their only solution was to put me on a repayment plan with a higher interest rate until the debt was paid. They knew about the scam because of other victims but never offered to help. In XXXX a judgment was awarded against me. At the same time the bank was suing the person who scammed me for the same loan. In XXXX the scammer plead guilty but NFCU still came after me for the money. All of my attempts for resolve were forwarded to their attorney who only allowed for a repayment plan. Today I still suffer from the effects of this mentally and financially.

Complaint narrative:
I have recently checked my credit report and I am showing XXXX late payments on my account due no fault of my own. I requested that my statements be mailed as soon as possible to a different address due to me leaving town on an emergency and not having computer to pay for it online as I usual do. I was informed that this understandable and that all payments were received on time as arranged with the reps. I do not understand why I have XXXX late payments showing on my report when I made a payment arrangement each time and was told I had nothing to worry about and everything was taken care of.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
As of XX/XX/XXXX my wife and I had prepaid her Wells Fargo student loan to a point where our next payment due was listed as XX/XX/XXXX. For two years we continued to receive statements showing our principal balance in the amount of XXXX. What was not disclosed anywhere on the statement was the interest which was accumulating on our balance. Last month we paid off the statement balance of XXXX. When I logged on to the account to verify that the payment had been applied I was somewhat surprised to see a {$2100.00} balance representing the interest which had been accumulating over the past 2 years. It is common sense that lenders should be required to clearly depict the full balance of the account on the monthly account statement. Not representing the exact status of an account is clearly a deceptive and predatory practice. Please require lenders to be upfront and honest with their customers. Had I been clearly informed as to the status of accumulating interest I would have taken steps to pay down accumulating interest charges.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had a vehicle loan through Wells Fargo Dealer Services. I was in a position where I could pay off most of the loan and needed to do so to free up money for an anticipated new monthly payment that was coming up. I contacted WFDS and requested an early payoff discount, we haggled a little bit and we agreed to an early payoff amount. I have done this with vehicle loans in the past and not had any issues and expected this would be the same. Last month I noticed that I had a negative item on my credit report due to that account status being " collection/charge off. '' I disputed this item because the loan was n't charged off or under collection and had been paid in full per mutual agreement. They have now added remarks on this item to say " Payment after charge off/collection. '' This is still inaccurate - it still has never been under collection and was n't charged off. When I made the final agreed payment, I was ahead on payments on the loan, not behind. I never had a late payment. It was never under collection.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On or around XXXX 2015, I received a telephone call from Navy Federal Credit Union Fraud Department. They indicated several transactions from XXXX, and a bunch of other retailers making many charges to my account. I notified them this was not me, and to send to the investigations department. I outlined all the transactions from both cards ( My visa debit, and XXXX XXXX ) and attached to their online e-messaging system. They replied they received them, and the credits would appear within 3 business days. 
The facts are-Navy Federal did NOT close my accounts. They remained open, and allowed hundreds more dollars to be charged to the account. Once I contacted them to close the account -- there were STILL more charges being allowed onto the accounts, even AFTER they were notified as fraud. 
I sent over my police report, and FTC fraud affidavit, and she stated I was to blame, and she was freezing my account so I can not use it. This is direct retaliation and discrimination against me, for exercising my rights of the fair credit billing act, and probably many other consumer protection laws, simply because they failed to do their job. 
For 3 months, they continue to report a completely false balance to the credit bureaus.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Nelnet reported to the credit bureaus that I was 90 days delinquent on my loans. I was only working part time as a temporary employee and did not even know it was time to start paying the loans. Once I realized what happened I applied for a deferment. They deferred my loans and backdated the deferment to XX/XX/XXXX to last until XX/XX/XXXX, but kept the late status on my credit reports, thus causing my credit rating to drop drastically and not allowing me to get a loan on a house when I became full time status on my job in XX/XX/XXXX. I have not been able to get a reasonable car loan, cell phone plan, etc., since that time, even though it is out of deferment now and I have paid every payment on time. I asked them on multiple occasions to please take this off of my report and they refuse, stating it is a law, but it is not and now my credit will remain affected until some time XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo Bank , NA ( hereinafter " WFC '' ), and its divisions ( Consumer Accounts for checking and savings account as well as the credit card accounts are to eager to charge fees, but will not return fees for their own mistakes ( continually ignoring the requests, disputes and issues - until it is passed the deadline, then its representatives claim that " it is pass sixty or ninety days allowed '' ). Therefore, the unjustified charges they make on the checking and savings accounts become permanent. WFC is very ANTI-CONSUMER. 

and NOW, I have issues with disputed charges on Debt card and a credit card. 
On three ( 3 ) occasions : 1. XX/XX/XXXX on my debt card in the amount of {$340.00}, Disputed unauthorized charge and WFC claims that I never disputed and there is no record of the dispute. 
2. XX/XX/XXXX on my secured credit card in the amount of {$65.00}. I disputed the charge 3-4 times and finally WFC provides me an UNSIGNED COPY of the charge. When I ask for the Merchant 's telephone number, WFC provides me a DISCONNECTED telephone number. Yet, XXXX claims that the charge is valid. 
XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX on my secured credit card in the amount of {$1900.00}. I disputed this charge 2 times. WFC can not produce ANY record. In fact, its representative told me that the merchant claims it was going to ship me something. I repeatedly told WFC rep.s that I do not have any relationship with the merchant and did not order anything from it and that the charge is unauthorized. WFC even confirmed with the merchant that the item was not sent ( EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT ORDER ANYTHING and DID NOT CONTACT the MERCHANT FOR ANY REASON ). However, it claims that because this merchant ran a {$290.00} charge FIVE MONTHS EARLIER ), then this charge must be valid. 
So, does not matter if I dispute a charge or not, nor that it matters if I truly purchase something, just because WFC does not want to process a dispute, then the consumer/card holder must suffer its representatives laziness or ignorance. Moreover, if a merchant made a charge and the card holder did not questions the first charge, then if the merchant makes additioanl charges sometimes in the very far future ( not even on a specific pattern ), then the charges must be valid ( even of WFC or the Merchant can not produce any evidence ).

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it may Concern, I 've been dealing with a fraud issue. I had fraudulent transactions on my card and it was taken care of promptly. About a month later there was more fraud from the same company. I was told it was because my card and the fraud had not been dealt with the correct way the XXXX time and instead of closing my card I was just issued another. 

The XXXX time there were XXXX fraudulent charges totally about XXXX dollars. On my statements I can see provisional credit for only XXXX charges. The merchant that billed the fraudulent transactions reimbursed all XXXX of them and Wells Fargo promptly debited my account for all XXXX charges, stating I had already received credit for them. However, I had only received credit for XXXX transactions, leaving me approximately {$250.00} short. 

I was told that I had received the missing credits on the old card before the balance transfer and I would see it on my statement. It did not appear on my statement so I called again and was told I would get another statement in the mail that reflected that I had received credit for all XXXX transactions. I have received nothing, there is no proof I ever received credit for those transactions ( Aside from credits that were later taken away as debits ). I just want tangible proof that I was reimbursed or credited for those charges. Today on the phone I was told I had received credit ( even though it was debited shortly after ) so my request for written statements has been denied and I need to accept verbal confirmation from them that I had been credited. All I am asking for is a document showing XXXX provisional credits, XXXX merchant credits, and XXXX bank debits. All they can produce are statements for XXXX provisional credits, XXXX merchant credits, and XXXX bank debits. There are XXXX missing credits. By law I am entitled to these records. The bank is telling me I am not, I need to just trust that they have done it. I have been asking for documents for 2.5 months, the bank can produce none.

Complaint narrative:
I was/am a Wells Fargo ( WF ) customer who was a victim of the scam/fraud that has been in the news lately. 

My story : I opened XXXX checking account and XXXX savings account with WF perhaps 10 years ago. However, about 3 years ago, a WF banker said I needed to open a second checking and second savings account. She gave no reason for this action, but opened XXXX anyway as I watched passively. I did not try to talk her out of this action because I was honestly confused as to what was going on. 

In late 2015, penalty charges were made to my account in the amount of {$30.00} per month for 4 consecutive months ( total {$120.00} ). When I called WF to question why the charges were made, the WF rep said, " Because your accounts are not properly linked. '' I had no idea what " linking '' meant and so complained vociferously about the charges saying this was a deceptive practice. The banker said, " You should have read the account agreement. '' I asked where I would find that agreement ; she said, " on-line. '' The banker finally said she would restore part of the charges and I said " no '' I wanted the full amount restored. I was livid. Finally she agreed and the entire {$120.00} was restored. It was restored, she said, because my account was large enough that they did not want to lose me as a customer. 

In the end, I did not lose money, but only because I spotted the charges and complained loudly to WF. And because I had a large balance with WF. Nevertheless, I would like to see my complaint go into the WF file. 

I conclusion, I have found WF to be deceptive about their business practices and continuously high-pressuring in their sales practices. It is impossible to do business with WF and not get a " full-court press '' sales pitch from them on their various products. It 's a terrible business model. They are the enemy, not the trustworthy banker you expect. 

Thank you.

Wells Fargo is still reporting my account as late for 90 days even though it 's paid. Upon paying this debt, they told me they would delete this account from my credit profile. This is for account beginning with XXXX. I did not open this account, and I paid it just to have it removed from my profile rather than deal with the hassle. Now it is more hassle than I expected. They performed a " bait and switch '' to get my money then did n't hold up their end of the bargain. This is illegal, and it 's over a small amount of money. This need to be removed from my credit profile.
