      I tried to transfer funds from my account to a non-bank account I use just for bills and they had implimented a new "Security Code" feature which is new to me for security to my phone on file. They were suppose to send a code to my phone and they say it usually takes up to 5 minutes. After a while, I had requested another and it wasn't received. I then called them and they said there was a "maintenance" issue which was supposed to have been cleared by 5pm Eastern time. I didn't get ANY codes especially when the agent tried to send one also and I wasn't sure if the amount to be transfered ($58.00) was secure against unauthorized transfer. There was also (According to the agent) a 5 day or so wait for a report to be made. My concern is that the funds will cause a LATE payment for my bills.

      I rented a truck from budget truck rental to move my belongings from ************* down to ******************* and the budget truck rental company was horrible. which was a very bad experience and the endwhen they charged my debit card that I have with Wells, Wells fargo Wells fargo should have declined the charge because there was no funds in my account. That's what they do with all my other charges that when there's no funds. However, with this charge they for some strange reason did not decline the large charge and instead paid it and put my checking account in the negative for some ridiculous reason and it was not what I expected and they should not have done that because I didn't want to deal with bank. I just wanted to deal with a budget truck rental. today, June 6 at 3 PM I called Wells fargo and I spoke to a disgusting man who told me that if I don't pay the full amount onmy account by next Friday, they're gonna charge off my account. I called today to speak to them because I wanted to do what their emails and they sent me said which was a payment plan however that was all lies because he was not willing to offer a payment plan for me. All he wantedto do is tell me to pay it by next week or i'm screwed over. I found this to be a very disgusting response since I just told the man that I finally was able to get job and and have a job offer letter to prove it and he still did not care about that he didn't even congratulate me on getting the newjob. He just said that I have to pay it by next week and that's it even though I just told him that I am now have a job and make payments. He still was not going to do with those emails and letters of ******** that they sent me said which was a payment plan so I find Wells fargo to be incredibly line unprofessional, shady, and downright ruthlessly disgustingly awful people. This man at Wells fargo does not know how to do his job and does not understand what matters in life and is quite frankly one of the worst ever

      On May 6, Wells Fargo Bank contacted me that they froze my accounts due to fraud that was detected. Someone had taken ***** from my accounts and send it thru ****** to a lady in *****. Now they have denied that there was fraud and said the indicators did not show fraud. They would not tell me what those indicators were. I have spent over 5 hours on several different occasions on the phone with them. One of their representatives told me that he clearly saw fraud and doesn't understand why they denied it in the first place. He said he would personally see it through and call me. That never happened. I sent it through for the third time and it was denied again. I can't get ahold of anyone higher up in the company to give me answers. I have been with the bank for 20 years. There is nothing suspicious ever in the way I spend my money if they had bothered to look. Why would I send all my money to someone thru ****** in *****? I am a teacher so the ***** was all my son and I had. I feel as if they are committing the fraud now. They are federally insured for things like this. This is taking a physical and mental toll on me. I need Wells Fargo to step up and do the right thing. Look at the customer, not just numbers.

      I called Wells Fargo to settle an old debt, I then asked if they would remove the account from my ********************** ***ort if I agreed to pay in full. I explained how I had just turned 18 at the time I had made some bad decisions and now just wanted to make it right and move on with my life. The *** I had spoken to declined to remove bad account but said if I paid a settlement they would update the account to show paid ect. Not the resolution I was hoping for but I agreed. They asked me to pay ****** and they would get rid of the balance and mark the account paid. So I paid it as shown in my bank statement to them. Fast forward, my credit ***ort updates and the only change is the balance in the account. it now shows the original amount minus what I had paid them. It does not show paid, 0 balance or anything of the sort and is most definitely still on my ***ort and as unpaid. I then submitted a dispute which they denied. I then attempted to Wells Fargo again multiple times to figure out what was going on but every time I connected with someone I was transferred and the call was never picked up any of the times I've called. I cannot get ahold of anyone and this account is severely affecting my life and ability to find housing.

      On 05/23/2025 I entered the wells fargo branch located in *******, wi. I received a cashiers check in the mail from them the day before, and due to having surgery that day and my only ride was medical transport and they dont make stops at banks, so I attempted to mobile deposit it on my way to surgery. Due to them issuing the check in my maiden name, none of my online banking places would let me deposit it. On Friday the 23rd I got a ride to wells fargo to attempt to cash it. I told them I tried mobile depositing it, they said that's fine, all I had to do was sign my deceased grandmother's name (as it was on the check also), and they would write deceased and cash it for me. Due to having surgery the day before I had to have the teller hold the check still so I could sign it, she then took it to the back and came out with the bank manager telling me because it was signed for mobile deposit only, they couldn't cash it, and suggested I take it to my bank. I did, and my bank refused to cash it because I signed my grandmother's name, so I went back to wells fargo and asked them since they directed me to sign my grandmother's name, what could be done so I could cash the check today. The teller very rudely said we already told you we won't cash it and asked for the next person in line, so I piped up that you need to treat me like a human being, next thing I know the bank manager is coming out yelling at me that I was being out of line and she was calling the police, I attempted to call corporate and the bank manager is screaming at me that I'm telling lies, the police show up, she continues screaming at me and the police ended up arresting me. That is behavior unbecoming of not only a professional, but of a human being in general

      Never use mobile deposit with Wells Fargo. I wrote a check of $3200 to my wife from my Truist account and mobile deposited it to our joint account with **********************. Naturally I did this because I needed the money in the account. ********************** put a 7 day hold on the deposit. The check cleared Truist and went to Wells but they are holding money hostage that is not theirs. I went to local branch with the check and all my identifcation and was told they cannot do anything about it. They said I should have deposited the check inside instead. Why do you have mobile deposit then? I called the customer service # and was told the same thing. Even though the bank puts the hold on, they cannot alter it or cancel it. So I have to wait 5 more days on money that I needed that is being held hostage by Wells. Corporate dishonesty of some sort.

      After recently reviewing my credit report from your company, I noticed several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The accounts in question are listed below:
      Company Name: WFBNA CARD
      Account #: ****************
      Balance: $5,250.00

      Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of all documents in your records that were used to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.

      I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified. Instead, I expect to receive the actual records supporting this verification. If no such documentation exists, these disputed accounts should be removed from my credit report immediately, as required under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the FCRA.

      Including unverified or inaccurate information on my credit report—and continuing to share it with third parties—unfairly damages both my credit standing and my reputation. I ask that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible.

      Wells Fargo debited my checking account for double the amount of money a check was written for. The Wells Fargo *** confirmed the check was clearly written for $100 and that the bank deducted $200 but it would not be corrected. I was told I had to file a claim to dispute the incorrect debit and wait for ***** business days for Wells Fargo to investigate. I want my money put back in my account.
