      I got an email from my bank stating there were "Insufficient Funds" in my account to cover a $74.00 payment made to *********** on Saturday July 19. My direct deposit goes in early Thursday and there WAS enough to cover the charge that THEY say was posted Monday. They do this ALL THE TIME and charge me $35 overdraft fee which is NOT MY FAULT! and makes my account go into a MAJOR negative. This needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY and funds be released QUICKLY as they are on a "Due by" basis and THIS was EXTREMELY time sensitive!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. It had CLEARLY stated the action taken to resolve the "Insufficient funds" issue. And I am satisfied that the matter was cleared up.

      On 07/03 a mobile deposit was made for a $269 check. The check bounced, which was expected after being informed that the check was already being processed via another institution. The following week, Wells Fargo processed the exact same check AGAIN and removed another $269 from my account. I was assured the "error" would disappear in two business days, which it did. Then the very next week, the EXACT same check was processed AGAIN and my account was AGAIN penalized $269!!! Wells Fargo has done nothing to credit the account, rectify the issue, or assure me that this will not be a weekly occurrence. Wells Fargo has been holding nearly $300 which has caused my account to go negative multiple times and is causing VERY STRESSFUL ripple effects!!! I had to borrow money to pay my mortgage because of their error!!! No one is doing anything about this. HELP!!!!!

      To Whom It May Concern,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Wells Fargo Bank for their unacceptable handling of a customer dispute during a call I placed on July 22, 2025, at approximately 8:40 PM (CST).During this call, I attempted to resolve a legitimate dispute concerning charges on my account. However, instead of assisting me professionally, the representative I spoke with displayed an appalling level of arrogance, incompetence, and condescension. Rather than addressing my concerns, they repeatedly interrupted me, talked down to me as if they were the ultimate authority, and wasted a considerable amount of my time without offering any actual ******* became increasingly clear that the representative had no intention of fairly addressing my dispute. In fact, their behavior suggested a disturbing culture of corruption, refusal to take accountability, and blatant disregard for consumer rights. Every effort I made to clarify my case was either ignored or dismissed, and my request to escalate the issue or file a formal complaint was stonewalled.This experience has led me to believe that Wells Fargo is deliberately obstructing legitimate consumer complaints and exploiting procedural ambiguity to avoid responsibility. I find this deeply troubling and unacceptable.Therefore, I am submitting this complaint to the Consumer Financial ***************** (CFPB) to request a full investigation into Wells Fargos dispute resolution practices, including their training, accountability structure, and customer service conduct.Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on the next steps. I am fully prepared to provide supporting documentation, call logs, and additional details upon request.Sincerely,

      Despite having filed a complaint about this issue months ago, we have continued to receive marketing mail from Wells Fargo. I once again ask that the company permanently remove my mailing address from its marketing list. We also wish to reiterate that we currently do not have any interest in being associated with Wells Fargo. Thank you for your cooperation in respecting the privacy of my personal information.

      When I opened an account for my son ********* Biliebre-Merida he was 17 at Wells Fargo, I was told once he turned 18 I will be removed from his account. I am still linked to his online access. I grew concern when I saw negative come through in his checking account which he is sole responsible for now that he is 18 since January. I don't want to be tied to it or one day Wells Fargo comes and deductive the negative balance from my account. Outcome please remove both his account and have him be the primary account holder. I don't know where he is or talked to him so I can't go in person this is something that ** stated would just be done on its own once he turned 18 which you guys failed to do so. Accounts ending in: 1579 and 3707. This needs to immediately be removed. Please email me once this has been updated.

      My account went into overdraft. There is a $35 dollar fee that was added. However, I paid off my account before the overdraft fee when in. WellsFargo will not overwrite the overdraft.

      The bank held my deposit for two days then charged me multiple fees saying my account was overdrawn. I explained that I put money to cover my account and they said the money was on a hold and could not tell me why. So because they decided to hold it for two days they were able to charge me fees saying that I did not have the money in the account in time to cover my charges.
