  I have an R/O - *** account with ******************** since 1993 and have initiated the close out of my account as of the beginning of June. After talking to multiple people on the phone explaining to me that my account was on hold due to its age I needed to have it activated (only valid for 48hrs) so that it could be traded so be able to be liquidated to me. After have it un-frozen twice only to find out that it actually was not. I had to personally visit the local office to resolve the issue, they could not help me and said it could only be done over the phone.I have had to go to the office more than 5 times each time costing me a cab fare. Finally on June 27th it was confirmed that everything was traded and I should receive a check within two weeks. Today July 2nd I receive a call saying they need to verify my identity, which I have done multiple times. Stating I need to re-start the process.This whole ordeal has been extremely taxing, frustrating, exhausting and simply sickening to the point where I am so stressed I can no longer eat. Not only due I financially need the money to live but it cannot be that it is so difficult to release my own money.

  Wells Fargo Charged me $35 for an overdraft fee that shouldve never been charged. They are refusing to help me and refund this wrongful fee. Since I deposited over $150 to cover any overdrafts and have brought up my account up to date any time I get overdrafts and they said I have reached my courtesy limit but this is a bank issue not my issue. I also have overdraft protection but they still wrongfully charged me I was over drafted by $25 and clearly deposited enough by the following date I did it the same day! And still got charged after their so called grace ******

  My mother held a brokerage account at ********************************************* for many years and designated it Transfer on Death, providing three beneficiaries to receive the funds upon her death: my two sisters and I. She passed away on August 31, 2024. Subsequently, I and my two sisters, the account beneficiaries, provided Wells Fargo with all their requested and mandated paperwork. Each of the beneficiaries' submissions were reviewed and approved by Wells Fargo ***************************** and Wells Fargo then, accordingly, distributed assets/funds from the account to each of us in what we thought was the final resolution of the account.Unbeknown to us, however, this was not a final resolution of the account. Without explanation or notice, Wells Fargo retained assets/funds in the account despite full compliance by the beneficiaries and plainly contrary to the deceased account holder's wishes. The amount was approximately $400, which varies depending on market conditions. When I spoke with a representative on April 15, 2025, she indicated that Wells Fargo intended to continue to hold onto the assets for several months. I then made a written demand for the funds to be released and was told that somebody would be in touch with me but Wells Fargo refused to specify when. I then received a form letter in the mail saying that they were investigating the matter and would take ***************************** with any substantive information. They are clearly ignoring and stonewalling me, while retaining the funds and charging fees. Wells Fargo has no legal basis to withhold the funds, and are acting in clear contradiction to their account holder's valid instructions. Their conduct is *****, distressful and frankly illegal. It is hard to conceive why they would want a family to spend time and energy in the wake of a loved one's death forcing them to heed their deceased's account holder's directive over this amount of money. We would appreciate your assistance in a prompt resolution.

  A Transfer on Death (***) account enables the account owner(s) to instruct the Firm to transfer ownership of the
  account assets, upon death, directly to each designated beneficiary in the *** Agreement without subjecting the

  We confirmed on October 25, 2024, the portion of account ending in 5950 that you were entitled to was

  Complaint: 23380454
  
  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: Wells Fargo claims that : "We verified you were not entitled to claim any of the residuals, and the residuals that accumulated were sent to the respective beneficiaries. We confirmed the account ending in 5950 has a zero balance."

  Upon receipt of this statement by Wells Fargo, I contacted the other two beneficiaries to confirm that one or both of them had received the assets that were retained in the account. Both of them said that they had received nothing from Wells Fargo. In addition, less than one week ago, I received in the mail the monthly statement of the account ending in 5950. That latest statement indicated that the assets were still in the account, the balance was approximately $430 in assets. The account balance was not zero. I simply cannot credit what Wells Fargo is now claiming, and in fact have their monthly bank statement that directly disputes it. 

  If Wells Fargo would like to provide evidence that they transferred the assets to one of more of the beneficiaries such as a bank record showing that transfer, the date,  the amount and to whom they claim they transferred the final balance, that would be helpful. But simply their word, especially at this point, is clearly not enough. I have no evidence that what they are claiming is true and indeed have evidence, in the form of the other two beneficiaries's denials that they received any such funds, as well as the most recent Wells Fargo account statement, all of which indicates that what Wells Fargo is saying is false.

  I can provide the most recent account statement to prove what I am saying.

  
  
  
  
  Sincerely,

  I talked to 4 different people today 4-30-2025 about my mothers Wells Fargo Advisors Account. She sent in a beneficiary form last year after being told there were no beneficiaries on the account. She never got anything back from them and assumed it had been taken care of. Well she died on 4-19-2025 and I called to get things started and was told she had no beneficiaries. I said how is that possible, **** told me "you can't have beneficiaries on that account". No reason why. Drove to ***********, Mn to talk to someone in person. **** said there wasn't anything he could do to help us. I called back got someone named ******* who I asked to transfer me to a supervisor. She got me back to the original **** who did not even make sense. I again asked for a supervisor. After two 5 minute waits I talked to ******* who told me the beneficiaries would of had to be set up when she opened the account (after my father passed.) So my complaint is I have a signed beneficiary form stating what she wanted to happen and they refused to do it. So it is like they are just trying to hold on to her assets as long as possible costing us more money because now I will have to contact her lawyer and either probate or **** What kind of company refuses to let you set up beneficiaries???

  Client name: ******** K. ******
  
  Dear Representative of ******** K. ******:
  
  We recently received a complaint through the Better Business Bureau from ****** ********. Because we don't
  have permission to share your information with them, we're responding directly to you about the concerns
  expressed. You should know that ****** ******** expressed dissatisfaction with the estate process for the late
  ******** *. Sonneks individual brokerage account ending in 4900 upon being informed that the estate claim will
  need to be completed through the Estate of ******** K. ******. They had expressed further dissatisfaction with
  the level of service experienced while calling to inquire about the estate process, having spoken with four different
  representatives and not being able to add beneficiaries to the account. They had stated that the late client had
  submitted documents to add beneficiaries to the account. They alleged that Wells Fargo Advisors received the
  signed beneficiary form but refused to complete their request to hold onto the assets for as long as possible.
  
  First, we at Wells Fargo Advisors would like to express our condolences for your loss. Please accept our apology for
  the frustration or inconvenience you and ****** ******** have experienced while working to complete the estate
  process.
  
  Please understand that when a client passes away, accounts must be managed in accordance with estate laws,
  industry rules, and Firm policies and procedures. Due to these requirements, the estate process can sometimes be
  complex and cumbersome. We understand that this is an inconvenient process especially when you are dealing
  with the loss of a loved one and are working diligently to make this a smoother transition for our clients.
  
  We take all allegations seriously. We reviewed the concerns in detail and are ready to share our findings with you.

  Our research found the brokerage account ending in 4900 is a standard retail individual account and that the ***
  Add/Change of Beneficiary document that had been submitted last year by the client had been rejected due to it
  not being applicable to the account type. We confirmed that the brokerage account ending in 4900 does not have
  Transfer on Death (***) instructions, please understand that the *** instructions form would have needed to be
  added to the account prior ******** Sonneks passing. Since the account does not have *** instructions the
  estate process will be handled by default and assets will need to be claimed by the Estate of ******** K. ******.
  
  Please be advised that to complete the estate process and claim the assets an individual will need to be appointed
  as the executor for the client. They will need to submit a copy of the court appointment documents such as Letters
  of Testamentary, or if the account is eligible, a ************ Affidavit. They will also need to submit a copy of
  ******** Sonneks death certificate.
  
  After the executor has been appointed, they will need to establish a brokerage account for the Estate of ********
  ****** and transfer the assets in kind. It is our recommendation that if you or the executor should have questions

  Wells Fargo has tried very hard to keep my money, played games with me during phone calls, and lied about the $49.95, even calling me back promising on May 7, 2025 I will not be charged, and the next week I was charged the $49.95.   I am a teacher now, World and American History, since 2015.  In 2009 Wells Fargo fired me  for being Jewish, not available for more then 2 Saturday's per month, and tried to get me to work 3 Saturday's per month' the other ***************** 1-2 per month, and they were not Jewish.  I was set up with paper work, and not a money mistake.  The head teller had a $4000 mistake, and the rovering teller that made a $300 mistake, both were not fired, they are not Jewish.   The Wells Fargo  * playing games with me, and My ******** ****** 12/29/2024, the two Tucson branches refusing to help me out, and not steering me in the right direction, proves to me the Anti-Jewish behavior is a Wells Fargo fundamental  PC Political  Correct thing With hate, the Jewish People.  I see it, and know. it  Wells Fargo just keeps on.  Shame on Wells Fargo, and the Hate of Jewish people and Israel too...

  ****** called me back and said No Mr. ***** you will  not get charged the $49.95.  I was suppose to be called on my cell phone at 3:05pm 05/20/2025.  I never received a call.  On my landline phone I received a call at 12:40pm on 05/20/2025 but they did not leave a message.

  They are all in cahoots together and bully the customers, UNACCEPTABLE! Upon speaking With ******* on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, I am not pleased with the fraudulent results that I received. This is the second complaint that I have sent to WELLS FARGO with no results, only lies and fraudulent activity. Wells Fargo, AS A WHOLE, do not hold their employees accountable. They are allow to lie, mislead, project, and antagonize customers. Upon speaking with ******* *., once again, she stated the many errors were found and that she would give a resolution AND HELP but later lied, stating that she found no errors and could not help. This is not okay as I am in this situation simply because the lack of intelligence, comprehension, incompetence, and lying employees at Wells Fargo and the ***************** I have spoken with several of individuals and have been mislead each time. They all are fraudulent and its unacceptable. The lies that they tell and project onto paying customers is insane. ******* *., ******, and the entire executive office does not care about any~one other than themselves, they are the absolute worst! ******* *. will blatantly lie, admit to the many mistakes she found (on Wells Fargo behalf), state that shed help and do whatever she could to solve the issue, to then state that no errors were found and it was mistake. This is not okay as l am in this situation simply because the lack of intelligence, comprehension, incompetence, and lying employees at Wells Fargo and the ***************** I have spoken with several of individuals and have been mislead each time. They all are fraudulent and GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH THIS. The list goes on, as this is not the half of what has occurred; as l am in this situation due to employees agreeing to agreements and later breaching the contact. They project this on to me, stating that they've listened to calls, found errors, and then lie. They are very incompetent and unprofessional!

  My father passed away last December, I am my mothers legal POA . I have faxed over these papers since 1/31/ 2025. Every time I call to confirm that the papers have been received I get several answers from different brokers. Spoked to ****, she sees the papers and letter of Authorization signed by my mother and by myself but they keep telling me that I need to resend the letter of POA. I have done this three times! I just faxed the papers again on 2/10/2025 and received a confirmation that they were received. I called today and spoke with "*****" who tells me he does not see them and they need to be refaxed. This operation is a scam to hold on to hard working people who leave their hard earned money that they saved for their loved ones! Every time I call I get a different answer!!

  Tax department/**************** created an escrow account on my behalf to pay taxes. However, I made those payments already to the tax departments. I called in on 2/14-they opened up a case and said "I only need to show proof of the payment and they will reach out to the agencies with the proof of those payments and request a refund. "We do not care if you pay those taxes, we just set up an escrow account because we are trying to help you-once we have all the documents and receive confirmation those payments were completed; we will go and fix the escrow account for you. "its February-we will have enough time to fix this for you-your payment will not change" I said great, I will upload those documents and when I got off the phone. I uploaded the documents and I called back on 2/20-to confirm the documents were received. Again, the 2nd ***** confirmed that the documents were uploaded. I again, explained to her that I do not want an escrow account and asked if I need to do anything to fix this. She went ahead and said, "we have everything we need, all we have to do is request a refund for the over payment. We will do so and you don't have to call back; everything will be resolved." Today 2/27-I received an email from one of the tax departments requesting information for me to receive a refund. I then call Wells Fargo again, he goes on to explain "on 2/25-the case was resolved with the tax departments sending me a voucher that needs to be filled out and I will get a refund directly. I said okay so what's going with the escrow account. Tax department transfers me to customer service, who tells me that there is nothing can be done. April my payment will double. I proceed to go and forth for 2.5 hours between departments telling me two different things again. The tax department says it's been resolved. **************** needs to remove the escrow account. But customer service says they cannot because the tax department states my taxes are delinquent.

  Please find our response to the concerns listed below.
  
  Escrow concerns 
  
  Wells Fargo was given notice that your taxes were delinquent on January 28, 2025, so we paid them and opened
  an escrow account for taxes. 
  
  Once we received the tax documents you sent in, the tax office sent you a voucher to sign so you can obtain a
  refund of the overpayment. The refund is in the amounts of $8,222.58 and $1,046.51. This can take up to 30 to
  50 business days to get the refund. 
  
  To remove the escrow account, we need you to pay the negative escrow balance of $9,269.09 due to the
  disbursement of the taxes. We then can approve exception for removal of the taxes from escrow due to you
  stating you paid the taxes and then Wells Fargo paid the taxes. Your monthly payment will not change once the
  escrow account is removed.

  Complaint: 22999764
  
  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
  
  I need explicit instructions on how I make the payment and when I need to make the payment since my April payment has been changed due to the escrow forcibly added to my account.  My new April payment is $4583.96. Previously my mortgage payments were $1486.31. I agree to make the escrow repayment to Wells Fargo however I need my April mortgage statement to be updated. Essentially I would like to receive a statement for the escrow repayment along with a updated April statement reflecting the mortgage payment to be $1486.31.  I do not want to be forced to pay the $4583.96 plus the escrow repayment.  I dont want any of this to impact my credit report. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ********* ****** *******

  Hi!

  I rejected the offer only because I needed explicit instructions on how to move forward.  I am more than willing to pay the escrow payments but would like my April statement to be adjusted properly or a guarantee that I will not need to pay the updated payment with escrow.
