      I received a call from someone claiming they were my bank, Wells fargo. They said someone scammed me and they needed to move money around in my account. I put them on hold and called the number they called me from, it went to Wells Fargo so I figured it was them but I still asked for them to send me a verification code and they did. They read me back charges on my actual account and they knew my account number. I okayed them moving money around and they ended up draining my credit card and wiring it out. They took $11,249 from me. Once I realized I was getting scammed, I finally hung up and called wells fargo back and reported it. They said they were going to get it back but they also never started a credit card claim that day so I had to go and start another claim for my credit card a week later. They were unable to get my money back and refused to reimburse me so I had to pay them back in full. This feels corrupt, they also gaslit me saying the scammers wouldnt be able to send me a verification code even though I remember them doing it clearly. Now, I am out a ton of money and pretty angry. I feel like there should be some repercussions here, the scammers had all my information so there was obviously a breach in security. I have called the police, the ***, i made a report here before and to the ****. Nobody has been able to do anything. I just want some kind of justice.

      I have been a customer with ********************** since 2001. I opened a business account in 2015 under my business name. Wells Fargo has requested that in 2024 that I show my tax schedules to prove I have a business but with no explanations. During this time they closed my credit card when I was speaking with someone in the executive office about this issue. When I went into the branch office in ******** on 10/09 the banker revealed that I had 4 accounts with variations under my business and the profiles were blank. I had no knowledge of this and he sent this up to have his branch manager to look into this further and to schedule a meeting on 10/15. With all the confusion I went to a local branch in ******** on 10/12 to ask for information on the multiple accounts it was brought to my attention that the information now was filled in and accounts deleted. I never requested for any accounts to be merged. This error was on Wells Fargo side with wrong information and the result of this they have closed my credit card account which had 10 years of credit history and was in good standing due to their error of multiple accounts for a legitimate business.

      Wells Fargo allowed someone who was not authorized to make any changes to my sole account, make changes that resulted in Wells Fargo charging me a $5 monthly service fee for 10 months - $50. And, they recently charged me another $5 for September dispite my complaint and my having a balance of over $5,00 beginning 9/3. When I complained, they stopped it and then started again. This is a fraudulent business practice that could easily be resolved by Wells admitting they made a mistake and reversing the charges.I asked Wells to investigate, confirmed 3 times that I am the only one on my account and I never authorized the change. The ******************* Service Agent told me someone other than the initial Escalations *** would investigate, yet I got the same person who merely upholds the charges each time.This is a very dangerous practice for a bank to be allowed to have someone other than the account hold make changes to the account. It is fraudulent and a violation of privacy laws. My statements clearly show that my account NEVER had my husband's name on it and it was confirmed by Wells Fargo that I am and have always been the ONLY person on this account.

      Complaint: 22415382

      I am rejecting this response because:

      It is a false statement that my individual savings account was linked to my husbands checking account. It was linked to my individual checking account until Oct. 2023 when Wells Fargo apparently let my husband, who is not named on this savings account, make a change to my account. Please ask ********************** to provide ANY documentation that my husband was EVER on this savings account prior to Oct. 2023. Otherwise, Wells allowed an independent third party to make unauthorized changes to my account. I am certain this is a violation


      Sincerely,

      I do not accept the response.

      This is exactly the same response and the same response they have provided me repeatedly.

      Bottom line is they changed my account without my knowledge or permission.

      I noticed unauthorized purchases on my credit card in April 2024. I reported these immediately and had the credit card closed. I disputed the charges of $177.95 and was denied. I disputed the charges after filing a lost credit card and was denied again, I filed a police report and disputed the charges again and was denied. We refuse to pay for unauthorized charges on our credit card and have since left Wells Fargo Bank. We want the fraudulent charges, and all interest accumulated due to these fraudulent charges reversed to our credit.

      Trust reimbursements are not being delivered. It has been 2 weeks since my vehicle broke down and required servicing. The cost was $1500. I currently live on a fixed budget. And this cost does impact my monthly budget. This trust is set up for rent, medical, and emergency expenses. But apparently causing emergencies, by not reimbursing for this expense. Is what can be expected from this trust and the people involved.Trying to get this reimbursement has resulted in emails with 5 different peoples names. So here is a list of the people who think its funny that I require money for food and rent. And that by not reimbursing for an auto expense, they can put that in jeopardy. -******** ****** -**** ***** -******* ****** -******* ****** *** ******* If these 5 people cant help with a reimbursement for an emergency auto expense. What is going on over there? This is not a professional environment. They are creating emergencies instead of helping to solve them.I do not feel comfortable having my trust managed by wells fargo, and certainly not this group of people. Is anyone actually in charge. Does anything actually get done in a period of time, that doesnt cause more problems and stress and unnecessary emails, phone calls, and bbb reports.I have requested that my trust be moved to a different team of people altogether. I do not trust that if an even worse emergency were to occur that I could receive any assistance from this trust team. I would like to have my trust managed by a team that acts professionally and in a timely manner.

      Complaint: 22411786

      I am rejecting this response because: They are in violation of Section 2.2.

      (Section 2.2 In addition, if the Trustee determines that ******* ******* faces an emergency situation, the Trustee shall also pay to or apply for the benefit of ******* ******* as much of the principal of the Trust as the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary for ******* ********* maintenance and support in his accustomed manner of living.)

      When an emergency auto expense drains half of my monthly budget, potentially putting rent payment at risk. It would be appreciated if the trustee properly understood what an emergency means. And what an accustomed manner of living means. In this situation it simply means continuing to have a working vehicle. And to be reimbursed for expenses that exceed nearly half of my monthly budget.

      If greater expense occurs as result of vehicle service. As my vehicle is nearly 20 years old. Or I require to lease or, purchase a new vehicle. The trustee has shown that they will ignore any wording in the trust, regarding emergency or accustomed manner of living. If they are provided discretion. This is unprofessional and cruel and now in need of legal consultation. Unfortunately of the free variety, which likely wont be of much help. Wells Fargo Trust and management teams should be investigated.

      Regards,

      ******* *******
