Trash company & predatory lenders. Bought a new appliance and had it installed, the company that did the work offered me a credit card loan through Wells Fargo at 0% over 18 months. Figured at 0% and spread out it was easier to afford and boy was I wrong. Wells Fargo set up the payment schedule to intentionally fall short of the total before the time expired which allows them to charge me the full amount of interest at 28.99% (over $1600 in interest) after missing no payments for 18 months. Would give negative stars if possible.

I reported fraud to Wells Fargo, where $1,000.00 was wrongly taken out of my account, and they took their weeks to "look into" it, twice, and denied my claim both times. I informed them of the problem within about an hour, and they took weeks to do nothing, and then weeks again to do nothing again. Wells Fargo is not worth the time of day for anyone. Do not use them under any circumstances (or their ATMs), and if you have an account with them I suggest you carefully open another account at a reputable firm and get rid of your account with them when you can. I know it's a pain but I should have done this years ago when my account with Wachovia become a Wells Fargo account because Wells Fargo bought them out. Not only did Wells Fargo get rid of my free checking, they then had all of those issues and got in trouble for creating a lot of fake accounts under customers' names, and they haven't learned their lesson.
My story is long but simple. Someone took $1,000 out of my account at an ATM without my permission, they stole my money, and Wells Fargo, with their billions, is doing nothing. Steer clear. Here's my story: Someone stole the money, and then I reported the fraud to Wells Fargo: "I'd like to report fraud that happened to me at an ATM outside my local bank. The bank where this occurred is: Wells Fargo Bank 2099 S Queen St York, PA 17403. Here's what happened: This was theft of $1,000 at a Wells Fargo Bank ATM. There was a large group of people at the bank. I tried to deposit using my tap debit card at the ATM that was outside the bank on 11/23/2024 at 10:17 am. The ATM was full or something so I couldn't deposit a check like I wanted to. I left the ATM, I think without waiting for my account to close out. At this point I went into the bank to deposit."
Someone, not an employee, was watching me and there were lots of people in there. I made my deposit at the counter. When I was in there, I believe someone jumped up to the ATM which was outside and took $1,000 out of my account, because $1,000 was taken out of my account at 10:17 am based on an email I received from the bank but I didn't notice that I received it for about 20-30 minutes. I called Wells Fargo two times about the fraud but they've said they are dropping the case both times, with no logical reason. I did the first fraud complaint within about an hour of this happening.
Here's what they should do: Wells Fargo should give the $1,000.00 back to me, since they have zero fraud liability policies. They should also look at the video of the ATM to find out who did this and report it to police so they can catch the criminals. After this first set of two denials I disputed it with Wells Fargo and also reported it to the police, which I thought Wells Fargo would have done. Weeks later and they denied me again through their "Executive Office". Wells Fargo is worthless.
Here is my response to them in response to their denial: "The response to my complaint is completely inadequate. Multiple times I explained how everything they said could be true, and still $1,000.00 could have been taken out of my account fraudulently. Yes, my account may have been unlocked, but just because a door is unlocked at my house by accident, it doesn't mean that someone coming into my house and taking $1,000.00 out of my kitchen drawer after they simply say, "This is my house and my money", is actually not fraud and theft."
Wells Fargo needs to make good on their zero fraud liability and they also need to give me $1,000.00 back that was taken from me, and they need to admit their mistake and fix their ATM system that gives no indication of whether an account is still opened or closed when I am finished using it, particularly when using the "tap" feature. At least when I stick my card in they warn me with a beep to take my card. No such thing exists with the "tap" feature, and I explained this to them but they didn't seem to think it had any relevance. Their lack of understanding and their ineptitude lead me to recommend that no one give Wells Fargo any of their business.
I have opened a new account somewhere else. Sadly Wachovia was ok, where I originally got my account, but when Wells Fargo took over they got rid of my free checking quickly, with stipulations for it to be free. I should have taken that as my queue there and then to leave Wells Fargo, but sadly, I didn't. Wells Fargo is not customer focused, they are only self and profit focused. Avoid them at all costs. I even asked someone lower down if it is common for escalated cases like mine to be resolved... And someone at Wells Fargo said, no, usually they are still denied when escalated like mine! So why even leave me hanging? Just close the case and lose your customer faster. Save us both time, money, and effort. Save the penny today, Wells Fargo, and go out of business tomorrow. That's what Wells Fargo deserves.

My starting credit limit WAS $6000.00 things were fine until I used approx 48% of my $6000 limit when out nowhere they reduced my limit to $3250.00. I wouldn’t worry about it but if you watch your credit bureaus it now shows I’m using 94% of my card limit. Imagine what that did to my credit score 48 point drop. If they didn’t want me to use my credit they offered they shouldn’t have started there! BE CAREFUL YOU PLAY BY THEIR RULES THEY WILL GET YOU!

Improve it. I recently read about the top five worst banks to do business with, and unfortunately, I found myself dealing with one of them due to a furniture purchase. It seems both the bank and the company have their share of issues. I regret not reading the fine print. To warn others considering financing their purchases with no interest through Wells Fargo: they calculate the interest for the entire duration of the no-interest period. For instance, I had a balance of roughly $190.00 in October 2024, but I just received a statement showing that my balance has increased to over $400.00.
It would have been great customer service to bring this to the customer's attention. Unfortunately, it's a lesson well learned. I hope my experience helps someone else, as I recently shared it with a client who called me this morning and also has an account with Wells Fargo and whose no-interest period is about to expire. She had not read the fine print either. So BEWARE. READ THE FINE PRINT. Get clarifications at the beginning and towards the end. They bombard you for everything else why not how to save on the additional interest charges? Maybe more money to spend on something else. In my case paid off today, DONE WITH BOTH of them.

If only I had trusted all those 1 star reviewed before I applied for WF card. If you're reading this review because you're not sure - trust me, you don't want to get into business with this organization. They will make mistakes and blame you for them. They have no problem just simply lying on their responses to your complaint. Give yourself a favor, take your money elsewhere. Bank of America, Chase bank, Discover care are all awesome, take a look at those.

I've had a WF credit for the past year and I have to say the customer service is fine but the online interface is horrible. I had to add a new bank account to pay my bill & the two step verification has not worked the two time I had to use it - taking over an hour of my time to figure it out only to be told by the online customer service person that the verification takes a few days to actually give you a pin that is required to activate the new account. Who knew this & isn't it bizarre! Nowhere online or anywhere do they tell you how this works nor any instructions on how to do it - step by step. Nothing! With my new bank (NOT WF) account I transferred over 20 vendors I pay (all in 15 min) and this is the only account that caused me no end of headaches and two hours of customer service & trying to figure it out. In fact, five days later & it's till not complete. I'll be closing this account soon - WF is too difficult to deal with. This is not the first questionable issue with them.

I opened this credit card because it was highly regarded on NerdWallet. Although they claim to reward you for spending more within the first few weeks, they have placed a hold on my paid-off account to prevent my ability to gain more rewards. Within 1.5 weeks, I have called customer service four times and escalations twice to follow up, but each time they claim the issue would be resolved shortly, except it lingers. Since I had planned to use my card, I have even filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in hopes it would expedite the release of the unexplained hold, yet I've had no luck. Terrible. I wish I would have known about their credibility.

I wish I had read these reviews before I signed up for a Wells Fargo credit card. Live and learn, They are the worst card company I have ever encountered. I received the card, and activated it online, then tried to enroll in online banking so I could use the phone app. Every attempt failed. Each time they told me to call a number, where there were long delays and people who did not understand or solve the problem.
On the fourth phone call, I was told that they had my cell phone number recorded as a land line and therefore everything was impossible. The only solution was to visit the local WF ATM and go through some elaborate and ill-defined procedure that would magically solve all problems. This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Rather than endure another minute of this nonsense, I asked them to close the account. This seems to be the only thing they were capable of doing, although it took an inordinately long period of time to accomplish, and I had to repeat information I had already given them at least three times. Now I get to see whether they actually close it or not. I will never again deal with WF for any reason.

I would rate the Wells Fargo Active credit card with less than 1 star if I could. Wells Fargo is a scam. Their customer service SUCKS and online banking is horrible. I paid off my entire balance yesterday and magically another balance appeared today. Whipped out my calculator to figure out exactly what it was from since I hadn’t used card. Couldn’t. So I called WF customer service. Was placed on hold for a while and when the guy came back on he said that the reason there was more to pay is because it was an amount that was unpaid. I told him that that was common sense and completely unhelpful to the very specific question I asked when he got on the line. What were the charges for and why wasn’t it there when I paid what showed as the full balance when I hadn’t used the card.
He said for me to calculate it myself and that he couldn’t and no one else could walk me through that either (A COMPLETE LIE). He then said he would transfer me but that no one would be able to help me. He placed me on hold and I have been on hold ever since. Don’t care how long, I’m not hanging up the phone. They suck. Please don’t get this card. Trying to get out of it with all my might and switch to only using my trustworthy credit union.

I wish I read these reviews before signing up for the Wells Fargo credit card active cash. I’ve only had it for 2 months and I can’t log in to the website. Their app doesn’t work and I can’t even make a payment through automated phone. It shows that I don’t even have an account although I get a bill in the mail from the charges I did. When I call them they say everything looks good on their end so I shouldn’t have a problem logging onto any of these services yet their IT department couldn’t even help. The only way I can make a payment is my customer service and talking to someone. To top it off I had fraudulent charges on my account and my bill is due soon so they ordered me a new card but I can’t make a payment till that goes through! Don’t bother with this company!!!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing outstanding customer service from Wells Fargo, and I'm eager to share my positive encounter. Despite the negative publicity surrounding the bank, my personal experience speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. When I realized that my home project account had accrued a $1500 interest charge after the interest-free grace period ended, I was understandably concerned. I had believed the promotion was for 24 months, not 18, and felt caught off guard. Although the initial assistance I received from their first-level customer service team didn't provide a resolution, I didn't give up.
Determined to find a solution, I decided to escalate the matter to Wells Fargo's customer service escalation office. To my delight, they not only listened attentively to my concerns but also honored their promise to rectify the situation. They promptly removed the interest rate from my account, demonstrating their genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. I am genuinely grateful for the professionalism and dedication displayed by Wells Fargo's escalation team. Their willingness to work with me to resolve the issue exceeded my expectations and reaffirmed my confidence in their services. This experience has undoubtedly strengthened my trust in Wells Fargo, and I wholeheartedly commend them for their exemplary customer service.
In an era where negative news often dominates headlines, it's essential to recognize and applaud instances of exceptional service. My interaction with Wells Fargo serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication to customer-centric values. I highly recommend Wells Fargo to anyone seeking a reliable and customer-focused financial partner.

I won't buy pants online because the sizing runs different on everything so, occasionally I'll pop in. Last week I did that and only spent around $300, just to get a message from Experian today telling me they lowered my credit limit from $3000 to $1000. Are you kidding me? My credit is excellent but because I don't shop enough they lower your limit. You would think with the little business they are doing and 1 star ratings across the board this would be something they would avoid.

DO NOT GO THROUGH Wells Fargo for Credit Card Balance Transfers! I opened a Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card because they were offering an introductory period for first time customers, and I wanted to move my finances around for a big purchase I made recently and unexpectedly. IE: car died and had to purchase new car and paying off repairs done to my home. When the application for the card went through and I received my card in the mail, I contacted Wells Fargo to speak to a banker to submit the balance transfer via phone because you cannot submit via online banking.
The banker took my information and advised that if the request failed, I would receive a letter. Seven days later, I received a letter from Wells Fargo advising that the transfer failed and to contact them for more information. There was no additional information in the letter, so I contacted WF and spoke to another banker who informed me that the request was cancelled because Wells Fargo sent me an email to confirm the transfer was not fraud. I informed the banker that I never received an email, but that I received a text message to which I did reply promptly to. The banker apologized, informed me that it is unusual for the Fraud department to flag balance transfers, and offered to submit a second request for me. She suggested I call back anytime to ensure there was no issue with the second request, so I submitted a second request.
I call WF on day 5 and day 7 for a status update and the bankers I spoke to said they did not see an issue with the request and that it should go through with no issue on day 8. On day 8, the transfer still was not processed so I call WF for an update. I am then informed that the request was cancelled as a duplicate to the first request. All that they can do for me at the moment, was submit a complaint to the Executive department to investigate why and to submit another balance transfer request for me. At this point, I am livid. What will a third request do for me if they are just going to cancel it and provide no valid reason as to why it cannot be processed. I asked for the contact number of the Executive office and was told they could not provide that information to me and that I had to wait two days to be contacted by email or phone. The banker also could not transfer me to a manager. All she could do was submit a third request.
She disconnected the call stating that I did not want her help, so I called back, and the new banker magically transferred me directly to the Executive office. I spoke to an "Executive" representative who advised that they would need 2-10 days to investigate where the disconnect was in the process and he asked me to give WF another opportunity to make it right. At this point, I had already paid down my other credit card and do not have time for Wells Fargo to figure out how to do their job. I said they could follow up and try to make it right, but I have zero trust in Wells Fargo now and cannot to terminate my relationship with WF. My advice to anyone reading this is to please tread carefully and to consider other creditors if you are needing to do a balance transfer. You might end up wasting your time and stressing out about a situation that can be easily resolved through another bank or a personal loan.

Consumers need to look at reviews for every credit card before they apply for that card. Just because you recognize the name does not mean that the bank is honest. I made the mistake of applying for a Wells Fargo active cash card based on their supposed rewards and no annual fee. What I discovered is that even if you have excellent credit, they begin to play a game with you and they refuse to tell you upfront if you have been accepted for the card. My credit score is very good 769. Others were over 800, and they were told they had to wait before they were accepted.
Then they fail to disclose in their application that if you don't have a bank account with wells fargo, you will only be able to make four payments total per month on your card. Not that we need to make four payments but if you want to pay off your balance whenever you feel like it, the answer is no. And the rewards cannot be collected in the reward amount which is 200 dollars. You can only get 25 dollars at a time and if you don't have a wells fargo account well, you might not even get the reward. Several customers reported that they never got the reward after complying with everything. I discovered that many credit cards are low level cards and if you are not rich they will not give you a good credit limit even if you have a very high credit score. Removing them will make your score go down but it is only temporary. I am cancelling the account. I suggest going with Citibank who appreciates your business.

I asked them to lower my credit card limit to $10,000. The first representative said, "Sorry, we could only do $10,800," and I wondered why I had never had that issue. She didn't know, so I asked to be transferred to a manager; the manager didn't know and said she would escalate it and I would get a callback. Over a week later, I received a call, and the lady just told me the same thing, and she didn't know why. Then she said, "You need to lower your balance since your balance." I asked to what amount, and it was clear she made up a number and said $7,000. I said so to 70%. That's odd. "What am I at now?" She said 90%, so I said then I needed to lower it to $9,000, and she said she didn't know and would check. I waited again, and then she said she would have to call me back.
She called me back, and the person she asked said, "Get it down to $8,000 and try again. There's no set time for you to wait. So I told the person you spoke to is the one that approves it," and she said, "No, she works here just like me." I then asked, "Can you talk to whoever programs the system and knows how it works." She said there was no one. I responded, "Doesn't it seem weird that no one knows, but it is programmed into the system?" She said just, "I work here."
Since we were clearly coming to another standstill, I told her I would leave a poor review and probably not bank there anymore. She said fine and hung up. I didn't get nasty or raise my voice. I just wanted answers and had wasted over an hour of my time trying to find answers that Wells Fargo could do better about letting their employees know.
Several things with Wells Fargo bother me after banking with them for almost 30 years. For example how, they are becoming less and less service-friendly, have fees, and are taking away their online banking communication (what banks do that?!). Wells Fargo has purchased three of my banks, so I keep coming back to them, not by choice.
I have four other banks, and I can contact all of them online and don't have to sit through these long, wasteful phone calls to find the same thing. I have thounsands of dollars of money going in and out of my accounts with them every month and investments as well.

I got an offer in the mail for a 0% APR for 12 months. A few times I used my cash advance option which is the BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. Over the past year I have called in EVERY time the day after I used the cash advance option. I would ask the agent how much I owe including the cash advance fee, any interest for that one day and the cash advance amount. I would pay that large lump sum and they would say it was paid off and the rest of your balance is your purchases at 0% APR. Come to find out they were allocated my large payments toward the 0% percent and not toward the cash advance, so I was accruing interest the whole time.
THEY ARE A SCAM. THEY LIE. I ASKED WHERE THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE WAS AND FOR THEIR PHONE NUMBER. THEY PUT ME ON A 13 MIN HOLD OVER 3 TIMES AND FINALLY SAID THEY ARE IN CALIFORNIA AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR NUMBER IS. I HAVE A CLAIM AND CASE NUMBER. SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK.

I have about a 750 credit score. Good balance to credit ratio. No missed payments in 20+ years. For no reason Wells Fargo decided to reduce my available credit to just ten dollars over my current balance which receives payments on time every single time. Everyone knows that when a credit card is at 99% it causes immediate harm to your credit score and this horrible bank knows that but if your credit score drops they can jack up your interest rates which is EXACTLY what they have tried to do. Nope. Balance paid in full and the card will never be used again. No good bank would do this to a reliable on time paying customer. DO NOT GET CARDS FROM WELLS FARGO.

I have always had a high credit score of 830. I opened a cash back credit card with Wells Fargo who was paying 2% cash back. However after a few months this bank made it very difficult to make payments. You had to reenter all the numbers and addresses every time you went to make the payment, A few months After I had the card I noticed a charge that I did not make, it was for women's shoes in China. I called and made the dispute. I cancelled the card a month or two after the dispute.
Wells Fargo then contacted me and said that after investigating the claim, they said that I did make the claim. Which was impossible since I do not buy women's shoes from China. They then said that the investigation found that the charge was made from my IP address. This I knew was not true and they never investigate it at all. They never even gave me the 2% cash back that I was promised. Do not deal with this bank. Instead of being pro customer and truly investigate a claim, they lie.

BEWARE OF WELLS FARGO CREDIT CARD SERVICES! I will NEVER recommend Wells Fargo credit card services to anyone! We signed up for the Wells Fargo cash back credit card because of all of the reviews and opinions online regarding the best cash back cards out there. Wells Fargo accepted our application, gave us a card and put a credit limit on the card, per usual. We have had the card for two months and have made 3 early payments to the card in full satisfaction of the amount owed and we have never gone over the credit limit.
The third payment was paid out of the same account as the first 2 payments, which were accepted. We saw on our credit card statement that the full payment was accepted 2 days after payment through our account. We also saw that the full payment was out of our bank account. We were again at a zero balance. We started to use the card again, to no avail. At first we thought the declined card might be just the store we were in because we knew it had a zero balance, but every store was declining the card. Embarrassing! So we looked on our account again at amounts owed, if there were any messages, etc. There was nothing to indicate there was a problem. That is until we called the Wells Fargo credit card services. We kept being told that our card was on “hold” for “security reasons.” We tried several times to find out what “security reasons” there were.
After going up to the highest level of supervisor we could, we were told that the “brief hold” was because this was a new account and we did not have a “payment history” with them. So they were holding our ability to charge on an account they gave us with a credit limit they gave us, with 3 payments in full of the account for the two months we used the card. At this point, the “brief hold” was at 9 days since the payment amount was out of our normal account and we were told that we would have to fill out paperwork to request expedition because it was going to be another 8 days until they would release the hold. We asked why we would have to fill out paperwork for it to be expedited. They would not explain why the extra “paperwork” would suddenly give them a “payment history” and they would release the hold due to their “security reasons.”
Our payment history was exceptional at this point and we had never given them any reason to put the account on hold. We were paying before due dates because we were going on vacation and our plan was to use this card. Thank goodness we were not stranded somewhere! They refused to let us talk to the finance department saying they did not have a phone number. We then refused to sign any additional paperwork due to their inability to explain why this would remedy the “security” reason and provide them a “payment history.” Funny side note, he told us that no payment was due at this time…. But I thought they needed a payment history??? None of this made sense to us.
We asked for complaint paperwork to be sent to us and they refused saying that they had to take it over the phone and they would file it for us. Needless to say, nothing was resolved and we still have a card that is of no use to us. Very disappointed that this is our only avenue. I hope this saves someone from this situation and this company/bank.

I have a Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card with a credit limit of $38,000. I have an 840 credit rating and pay off the balance every month but recently made a large payment for a roof replacement that pushed my balance over $35K. I paid the balance in full on December 14 to avoid any chance of exceeding the credit limit, even though full payment was not required until the end of the month. The payment was made from Chase Bank where my checking/savings accounts are located and the payment cleared Chase on December 16.
For some reason that I was not able to obtain from Wells Fargo's so-called customer service, the payment was marked for review and additional charges resulted in the credit limit being reached, after which additional charges were declined. AT NO TIME was I advised of this and, when I called Wells Fargo to determine why charges were being declined, I was told the $35K payment was being reviewed and the lock would not be removed until December 30, a full two weeks after Wells Fargo had received payment and my Chase Bank account was debited.
I asked why the payment was under review and was told that there might be many reasons but they refused to tell me why this particular payment was frozen. I demanded to speak to one of their bankers who also refused to tell me why my payment was being reviewed. This incompetent, authoritarian told me there was a process that I could go through to request an early release but that they would do nothing to expedite the release or explain the freeze to me. Keep in mind that they had already received the money from Chase 9 days previously and had not informed me by email, text, or phone.
I demanded an immediate release of the review and was refused. They have lost my business and any respect I might have had for them. The only reason I obtained this card was for a 2% cash back but their reward process is ridiculous. The rewards are only credited at the end of each billing period, regardless of whether the charge had already been paid, they only allow rewards to be credited against charges in $25 increments, and the process of applying the reward to outstanding charges takes nearly a week to show up.
Add this to their incomplete website (e.g., charges that have not yet cleared their internal system appear in the outstanding total but not as an actual or pending charge so their website balance does not match the charges shown, etc) and Wells Fargo is a company I will never deal with again. They are incompetent, their customer service is dismal, and you will do a lot better with a 2% cash back card like Capital One Spark offered by a company with a lot more competence and a much better online interface than the morons at Wells Fargo. As soon as I can redeem the remaining rewards, Wells Fargo has seen the last of me except for the comments I'm going to place on every forum and the complaints I'm filing with the Arizona Attorney General and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

We went on vacation in August of 2021. We paid for our vacation ahead of time on a different credit card. When we arrived at the Isla Palace resort in Mexico after waiting on ferry’s and cabs half the day, they issued us our room number along with room keys. The resort asked for a credit card in case we wanted to charge any items from the gift shop or had any incidentals. Before walking away, the hotel called us back to the front desk and told us our room was not ready, so the hotel was upgrading us to a better room because of our Anniversary and the room not being ready. I asked on several occasions before accepting the upgrade if it was totally free of charge from the hotel and was told yes, that the hotel was upgrading us.
Midway through I got an alert that my card was charged 600 dollars, so I called the front desk. They told me that it would be credited and that they had to charge it and then credit it back for book-keeping purposes. The charge was removed. On the day we left there was no balance due. A month later I get my statement and the resort had charged our card 600 on the day we left. However When we left we were told there was no balance, because we had not charged anything to the room and the hotel upgraded us. Wells took 6 months after I filed a fraud claim for the investigation. They allowed the hotel more than the allotted time to produce falsified proof. There was not signatures of us accepting a 600 dollar charge. However the hotel submitted our check in signature. Everybody signs on check in and the card was put up for incidentals.
They allowed this resort to produce three different signatures and documents we had signed for check in. They allowed them over the allotted time allowed for dispute. I believe they know it was fraud. Towards the end they blamed it on Visa, yet I was told WellsFargo would be ruling into on the dispute. As far as I was concerned this was fraud not a dispute. This resort committed fraud upon us after we paid almost 3500 for this vacation. We were forced by Wells Fargo to pay these fraudulent charges. They allowed this resort too much time to present obvious fraudulent evidence. It is obvious. We never slid a card or put a chip in. The hotel asked for the card and we gave it to them.

I immediately called Wells Fargo and the next rep from the credit card department said they have no idea where those funds went, but since they literally vanished into thin air, they will be returned back onto my card within 2-3 billing cycles.
I called in several times between January and May and they had no record of anything being looked into. Finally, things were escalated and I receive a letter stating Wells Fargo does not give refunds, so if I want my money back I would have to contact the Express directly and I am still responsible for paying Wells Fargo back the $500.00 on top of still owing Express $500.00!! I reached out to the corporate office in May. They said they would look into it and on June 9th I received yet another email stating I needed to contact the "payee" (Express) to get my money back. Everyone at Wells Fargo is ignoring the FACT I have proof Express never received the payment!
The first rep made a mistake. It's her job to know the requirements for a money transfer. If something didn't look right, if they make mistakes with the numbers, if it didn't fit some criteria, it is Wells Fargo's responsibility to make it right. I made several transfers within the first 90 days I had the card as allowed... This is the only one that went awry. This is a million/billion-dollar company who isn't taking responsibility. I am a single mom and this $1,000.00 is a huge sum for me. I was promised by the rep I would receive the funds back. I simply want Wells Fargo to honor what they told me.

They advertise their great rewards but they take MONTHS to become available to use after you've earned them and then you can only redeem in increments of $25. On top of that, they only let you pay off the card twice a month. Combined with the extremely low credit line compared to my other card, this one is absolutely useless. I recommend Capital One Savor, it has been way better and easier to use for me.

I’ve been charged double for one purchase. Called Wells Fargo a banker by the name of Mylene answered the call. Told her my issue she wasn’t interested in doing her job as she wanted me to keep repeating my complaint. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she transferred the call out of the credit card department. When I asked if I’m speaking with a supervisor I was told this was the debit card department And the banker that answered was not a supervisor. I would have to be transferred back to CC department again to make my complaint.
I work hard for my income as Wells Fargo bankers have no respect or care for the consumer or issues that I was having that caused me to call about a double transaction charge on my account. I felt like an number not a human being when I spoke with the first rep/banker as they’re called. From the moment I started speaking with Mylene if that was her name I felt disrespected. When asked to speak with another banker she stated that she has to complete my call then transfer me over to a supervisor. Which she transferred me out of the department completely. Is this how professional bankers get trained. I’m not asking for a loan or any other service from Wells Fargo. My experience with their bankers was very unprofessional and I felt like they was playing a game of table tennis switching me from department to department because of their unprofessional banker did want to get the training to become a professional.

The best way to confirm my personal information is to ask me not go on an internet run around. I'm still awaiting the decision.

Hello. I purchased a lot of furniture from Bob’s Furniture and was told I had years to pay off with no interest. I set up automatic payments and added more than the minimum to pay off early but after a year I was hit with almost a 1100 dollars interest fee. If I had known that was going to be the case I wouldn’t have purchased anything at all or I would have paid off balance before. I tried to call Wells Fargo but got hung up on after waiting awhile to get through and tried other times and finally got through after a few days only for someone to argue with me.
If this is how you do business I want nothing to do with you. I paid on time and extra and you should have given me a chance to pay off the balance instead of saying tough. I would recommend to anyone reading this to not use Wells Fargo and don’t purchase from Bob’s furniture. I like my furniture but not enough to deal with this. Value City has much better customer service as well as the other furniture stores I’ve been to. Good luck to all.

I had a Wells Fargo credit card for about a year before it got hacked and fraud charges were made. They notified me right away which was good and did reverse the charges. After doing that however, they went back to a paper statement and pulled a balance (over $700) from that and added it to my account balance. I pay and review my account online. The online balance before and after the fraud charges match and don't include that extra $700. They also removed all past purchases and credits from my hacked account so I can't go back and prove I don't owe this extra $700. They claim since the account is closed there is no way to access it, I say that is **. They say if I can prove I don't owe the $700 they will remove it.

Two years ago I received an invitation to apply for the Platinum Visa with 18 months no interest on purchases and balance transfers. I received the card with a low credit limit, not enough for a reasonable balance transfer or to make big purchases. I kept the card for about a year by using a check I received to transfer any balance or expense. I paid it off way before the 18 month since I closed the account in a year. No problems whatsoever. There is a local Wells Fargo so I decided to make the payments in person since I have heard so many complains about payments through other means. I asked for an increase of my CL, and I was denied. My credit score is excellent. I read the fine print that you cannot apply again but after over a year.
A year passed and I received another invitation for the same credit card that I closed, and was accepted immediately online with a massive credit limit offer. Keep in mind that my credit score is still excellent. Wells Fargo will not give you an increase even if you are in excellent shape with them but you have to call them on the phone and again there is a hard pull on your credit file for the same credit card. Be aware of it. I'm afraid mostly about fake charges and fraud charges and mixed ups as other have experienced with Wells Fargo credit cards. For that reason I will continue to use this card ONLY at a few business and not making it a main credit card. I prefer American Express for their outstanding customer service, specially in that area.

Wells Fargo Amex made the biggest mistake in my personal banking or credit card experience. I paid a merchant/contractor through my Wells Fargo card and PayPal (contractor wanted funds right away). I received notice of a dispute status on this transaction and immediately called to ask what was going on (I did not make any dispute). After hearing that there was not a dispute, I made it clear that there had better NOT be one and if so, they needed to cancel this immediately.
A week or so later, I had another notice of dispute and called again (talked to someone in the Philippines) and again told them to STOP this dispute (nothing wrong with the work or the amount). They "assured" me this would be taken care of. This started in late February and March. Five different times I had to contact them over this issue. Then, April 5, I hear from said contractor that PayPal had removed his funds I sent and was threatening collection. I immediately got on the phone with both and spent 7+ hours trying to find out what on earth was going on. Neither company took responsibility but blamed the other and told me I had to wait to get resolution.
Ahmed (3 WF reps later) said the dispute would be closed. He sent an "escalation" case to a "Case Specialist" (Pamela S) who didn't reply for 6 days. Meanwhile, I continued to call both. Paypal stated that WF Amex had requested the chargeback with request that service was "significantly not as described." They insisted they could release the funds as soon as WF submitted the final resolution.
Four more weeks and Wells Fargo (through various reps including the "Executive office" -- IN THE PHILIPPINES) insisted they did not make a dispute (yet they named it that in the email and in various conversations). It gets worse! I paid the contractor but Wells Fargo wouldn't let me Zelle the money to this contractor who threatened legal action (I'm not blaming him). They had promised this dispute would be closed yet five weeks later, I am still in the middle of this mess after paying this contractor twice (2nd time with interest -- my choice). Wells Fargo created a huge misunderstanding with my contractor and hurt my reputation. NOT ONCE did Wells Fargo follow up on this or call/communicate with Paypal to rectify this egregious error/wrong on their part. They sent me secure/encrypted messages just to say they hadn't done anything wrong!
Now I have to make a dispute (that was THEIR decision after over and over again NOT taking any responsibility). THEY won't even take care of the massive issue they created but expect me to make another dispute (I did very reluctantly three days ago) AND now they want to make me prove that I double-paid!

Background: I attempted to purchase an annual gift card to Play Station Live ($60.00) and a general gift card for $50.00 on 01/30/2021 in addition to a few other items at a local name brand store. The cashier stated that the transaction amount of $165.62 could not be made using my debit card because it appeared my bank would not allow for debit purchases to buy gift cards. So she canceled the entire amount and I paid for the other purchases separately totaling $50.72.
The cashier then tried to ring up the gift cards together in a separate purchase for the amount of $114.90 but stated that the transaction with my card would still not go through. I told her to just cancel the transaction and I would obtain the cards at another store. She told me that she was canceling it but did not give me a receipt. I proceeded to leave and went to my bank's ATM and pulled out the cash to purchase the gift cards at another store so if what the cashier had stated was true about not being able to purchase the gift cards, there would not be an issue. I bought both gift cards at another store.
I get home that night and checked my account. Guess what? The cashier never canceled the transaction! I have a charge for $114.90 after the $50.72 charge. Then the other transaction that follows is the cash that I pulled out at a bank ATM. I filed a fraud complaint right away with my bank explaining what happened. They take up to ten business days to resolve complaints. They denied my fraud claim today, 02/10/2021.
So my question is if the employee did a bait and switch to steal them from me or if she failed to properly cancel the transaction how/why am I responsible?! My bank is refusing to refund the $114.90 and I have been with them for 24 years. Regardless of employee error or theft, I am the one who is screwed and my bank thinks I am a liar who is trying to swindle them for $114.90.
So I emailed the store tonight and added them to the BBB since that particular store number was not on there and I needed to file a complaint with them too. I was also able to upload photo attachments of my truth of events on the BBB site. I am hoping that the store will be more compassionate and understanding of what occurred than the bankers I dealt with.
The employee either messed up or stole from me, so yes the store should be liable for the refund and not my bank. However, after pretty much being called a liar I am done with my bank. The only other 4 times I have called in a fraud complaint in 24 years was when STEAM hacked my card and the three other times were at a gas station pump. I stopped using my card at the pump and no longer use my account cards for online gaming for my kids (gift cards only). The last claim was about 6 years ago.
As a working professional, I know have to open a new account at another financial institution, then pull out my paycheck to deposit into the new one until my direct deposit can go through. This is going to be an absolute nightmare. As a dedicated customer for almost a quarter of a century, I should not be treated as a lying criminal.

To address their idea that this account info change was somehow malicious/fraudulent, I had reviewed all of the account activity going back months before I had this issue and nothing was out of the ordinary, in addition to the new contact information being related to my previous personal info (why would a thief add the general inquiry landline phone number of my previous employer as an account contact?). Wells Fargo clearly storing critical account information in a flawed system which allows for changes to occur inexplicably without the account owner's consent. This has caused more headache in the last month than any credit card is worth, so I am jumping ship. Beware that your information may not be stored and retained in a secure way, and that system volatility can lead to potential account security issues.

Wells Fargo's call-in Customer Service seems to have only one purpose, sell you something. If you try to write-in a request; they will respond to the first keyword and answer the most likely question based on the keyword. They act as a business going out of business. It's a race to the lowest common denominator.

I received 1 notification saying that my credit card was closed due to lack of payment. It was due to a fraudulent charge of $10 on eBay. I did not get any other warnings. Yes, I can pay $10. But I didn't know (didn't check the statement since I hadn't used it in months). They lied about fraudulent transaction appeal, and finally said that once closed, it cannot be re-opened.

Hi, I have had a credit card of Wells Fargo Bank and never complaint about anything since I applied for the card 10 years ago. I never had problems with them. But they've sent me a copy of my credit card without my request or approval when I have it already and it expires after 1 year (2021). The copy of this credit card they sent me was stolen in the mail box and illegally swiped in the pharmacy store (by the way, they have very stupid security system as you don't need to answer smart questions or tell them your ssn to activate the new credit card found in your mail box. In Wells Fargo Bank anyone can activate the new card found in your mail box if he tells to the automated voice your name and billing address which anyone can see on the envelope).
Ultimately, they rejected to issue me a refund for illegal transaction I didn't do even though they can see that I never bought any item costs hundreds of dollars within 10 years and also I never asked them to issue me any refund. Above all they don't care about their reputation, good customers, and they don't use logic and mind. Now I need to file a report to police and prove that I am not an author of the big purchase occurred in the pharmacy. My credit card history might be spoiled now. My message to people is to avoid such banks as Wells Fargo because they have very poor security system and they don't care about their customers and credit cards safety. I am going to close my credit card.

Had WF CC account for 10 years +. Suddenly in 2019, I had problems logging in all the time with login failures. After six months and probably 20 hours of support calls and renewing logins and passwords, they finally say that their system is old and requires new logins and passwords EVERY 60 DAYS. This is absolutely unacceptable. I would rather walk through broken glass than to deal with Wells Fargo again. I have over 100 passwords and logins to manage. I certainly don't need ANY of them requiring new updates when no breach or threat to security has been experienced.
To make matters worse, they have TWO websites....one for making payments and another to review the balance on your account? How ridiculous is that? So making payments is difficult as hell since customers are routinely locked out and you can't easily follow your status since you need DIFFERENT logins, different passwords and different websites to manage. AND they change every 60 days. Wells Fargo, Fire your managers. They suck. What recourse do consumers have to correct their credit reports for having a couple late payments due to login issues? Wells Fargo needs a class action suit.

Terrible experience with Wells Fargo. I wished I had never obtained a credit card from Wells Fargo. I took advantage of 0% transfer offer. However, they start charging interest on purchases immediately after the 0% balance is on the card. In order to avoid any interest, you have to pay off the entire balance including the 0% balance. Makes no sense, they charged me balance transfer fee and they charge me interest on that balance because I made other purchases. I truly hope this awful bank goes out of business. No wonder they have such a poor reputation! Not one of my better decisions.

I will start out by saying I have been a Wells Fargo credit card holder for the past 19 years. In those 19 years, I have used my card every single month, made every single payment on time, to the point where my credit limit was steadily increased to $15,000. Just recently, I logged into my account as my card was rejected. There was a heading that noted "this account is closed." Fast forward, I spent 9 days and over 5 hours on the phone and in person with Wells Fargo. It took me 5 days before I could even get a hint of what may have occurred. I was repeatedly told, "I have no information, you will receive a letter that explains everything in detail." That letter provided zero detail and only eluded to "potential fraudulent activity."
This boiled down to two payments to my WF account from an external bank that were insufficient. Somehow, that was deemed fraudulent. I spoke to 5-6 account specialists, as well as the "highest level" executive at WF and NO ONE was able to resolve this issue. They simply reiterated my account was permanently closed. Then had the audacity to invite me to open a new account. Lack of compassion, understanding, and zero client loyalty. Wells Fargo was our family's primary bank for nearly 2 decades, checking, savings, credit, and we will now act as quickly as we can to dissolve all other accounts. We have never been treated so poorly from a business we have been so loyal.

Last year, I applied for a Wells Fargo Propel AMEX Credit Card online after it was massively advertised online and in the bank offices. I even went through the cards offerings with a personal bank and everything seemed standard. The standard 0% APR for the first 12 months was on offer plus a generous reward point system. I primarily went for an AMEX card because of the generous reward structure.
I later received a notification that the credit card has 9 months 0% intro APR instead of the standard 0% intro APR for 12 months. As if that wasn't enough, they also drastically slashed the rewards. I called the customer office to complain and referenced the card description that was still up on their website. They accused me of not reading the terms and conditions and refused any form of redress. The worst part of this is the dishonesty.

Ah I could be anyone giving any phone number and you would 2 party verify ANYONE under those circumstances. I asked them to read me the phone number and/or just send the text and they refused. I caved in, they sent me a text. I am now verified even though I gave them the phone number to text me at. 3rd - I wanted to cancel the card that was floating out in the mail somewhere, pay off the account and be done with it... turns out that is monumentally difficult! They now want even more info to verify me.
4th - After me explaining I was not comfortable divulging any more information and asked to be transferred to a supervisor. 5th - The supervisor wanted to reverify all my info again, asking me for my phone number and now my social security number! Now I am super suspicious, I explained how I got this number and was very concerned it may be a scam and asked if he could just send the code like the previous rep.

I applied for a Bob’s Discount Furniture credit card online on March 1st, 2020. I was approved and was told someone was going to contact me. Fast forward to today, March 10th, not a peep from anyone. I called Bob’s Customer Service. They were very helpful and looked up the things I wanted in their inventory and answered all of my questions but they had no record of me applying. I had to check my credit report to see what the inquiry was listed as because Bob’s goes through 3 different creditors. It was Wells Fargo that approved me. So, the Bob’s Discount sales associate was nice enough to give me the customer service number for them.
So, I call Wells Fargo and the customer service representative couldn’t find my application or any record of me for a half an hour. Finally, he came back on the phone and asked for my phone number. I gave it to him and he said, “Oh, this must be why.” At this point I’m thinking, ok, I gave you my ssn and dob multiple times, you don’t find anything, but something magically popped up when I gave you my cellphone number after 30 mins of being in hold? Odd. He proceeds to tell me, “You have been denied and you will get something in the mail within 30 days.”
What? I was already approved? Is this letter going to explain why I was approved and then denied? Because I know it’s not because of my credit, I have “EXCELLENT” credit according to TransUnion and CreditWise. The whole thing just seems fishy. I’ve never experienced such unprofessionalism. No email, no phone call and I had to track them down. They approved me, then couldn’t find my information, then denied me.
My plan was to get my living room furniture from Bob’s and close out my Jordan’s furniture account, but now Jordan’s will be the one getting my business. I called Bob’s to let them know that, and give them the heads up that they’re losing business because of them. Who else did this happen to and didn’t tell them?

I've banked with Wells Fargo since 2006 (13 years). I recently had a card cancelled for 2 missed payments -- completely my fault / accidental oversight in my bookkeeping -- which has never happened in the 13 years I've banked with them. The balance was less than $200, and I literally have 3 linked checking & saving accounts with them that could cover that balance 100x over. I even have a $650 "go-far rewards" balance more than able to cover the amount at the time of the cancellation.
After 2 missed payments, the account was cancelled, completely dropped off my online banking summary & sent to collections. Thankfully, I tried to activate the replacement card for that account and was informed of all the potential damage about to be done to my credit score. To clarify, the missed payments were my fault & clearly an accident (Wells Fargo shows impeccable payment history for my account). To drop the account from my online banking summary, rather than flag it in bright red, that it is closed and sent to collections is an astonishing misunderstanding of how that platform is leveraged for information. This is one of those moments where a large company has an opportunity to make a long standing brand ambassador feel satisfied, but instead they chose to lose me as a customer and reinforce a now terrible opinion of how they do business (over less than $200).

I get hackers will do this but this bank never once called to confirm any of the information considering I don't bank there all all, ever in my life. When I called to report the fraud, they questioned me as if they didn't believe who I was but they sure as heck believed the hacker. I tried to get more information from them but the CSR said he is not able to verify my mailing address or phone number with me and that I must tell him that information in order to move on with the claim. Do you know how frustrating that is????
They allowed this to happen then questioned my integrity. Never apologized about letting it happen but proceeded to tell me I should watch my mouth because I am on a recorded line. I proceeded to tell them that this should be recorded so you can hear how angry I am that your company let this happen. They were of no help and spoke to me as if I was the thief. In the end they said someone would call me back within 24-48 hours to discuss.

I have a credit card with Wells Fargo. I did not use the card and had a zero balance. Wells Fargo charged me a $25 inactivity fee. Really??? Seriously? They charged me $25 for absolutely NOTHING!!! When I tried to get the $25 charge removed they made it impossible by asking one security question after another. Now I have to go into a branch and have the charge removed. I will be closing my accounts with Wells Fargo. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH WELLS FARGO!!!

I opened a secured credit card with $500 with the understanding that it will be upgraded to an unsecured credit card in a few months. I paid the card on time. After two consecutive years, W/F failed to upgrade my card to an unsecured card; they keep telling me that I have to wait for a few months. At this point I called the bank and asked to close the account. The bank rep got irritated after I asked her to mail me the money left on the account. She added that I will never get a credit account with Wells Fargo. Now I have 13 credit cards including AMEX. My FICO is 809. Three years after this incident, I heard on the news that some Wells Fargo employees were involved in fraud. I will not recommend Wells Fargo bank to anyone.

Let me start by saying that I have banked with Wells Fargo for over 15 years, ever since one of my friends who got a job there as a teller forced me to open an account here. Everything was well for a while, but nothing special about this bank. The services at branches are mediocre, some better than the others, but bearable. My main complaint is that the customer services reps are inconsistent in giving information, it is different every time I call.
I'm currently going through some financial issues and called the bank back in December to find out what my options are in terms of assistance programs. The very first representative was nice and said they can assist me by lowering my interest rate and waiving some fees - NO MENTION OF THE NEED TO close my account to do that. Unfortunately, of course her system was down so she said call the next day. When I called the next day, I was told to call collections because I guess when you tell them you have financial problems you have to deal with collections who are not even Wells Fargo. Why? I made all my payments on time, I am just asking for temporary relief. This rep told me the only way to assist me is to close my account which is what I didn't want to do, because I believe I can pay these stupid cards off if I just have 6 months without their insane fees. I gave up.
Called this stupid bank at least 3 more times to ask for help. TEMPORARY help, until at some point a rep couldn't handle it anymore and said "Lady, this is how banks make money on fees! There is nothing we can do for you, unless you close accounts." Jeez, that's very comforting. Anyway, I understand my problems are my problems, but honestly I'd stay away from this bank as far as I can, unless you know for sure you won't have any financial difficulties in the future. Which most people do - it's life!

This is the WORST credit card that I ever had. They skip statement by NOT sending it to you, once the reward point is near redeem limit for $25.00, even though there were purchases made with the card, Wells Fargo stopped adding those rewards points into your account (this is illegitimate, as there were purchases on the card, they are supposed to add those points on to the account, while they did NOT do so as your rewards points is closed to redeem limit of $25, so that they do NOT need to issue the redemption!).

My true rating is 0 star but won't let me!!! Very new to WF credit card. Just wanted to share my experience because if I had known this earlier, I would have made better arrangement with my fund. Last Friday (2/22) I made a payment to my WF credit card balance from non WF checking account and on Saturday the fund was already credited to my card. (I thought payment process was amazingly fast!) But as of today (2/27), available credit is showing "zero." I didn't think too much of it and just thought an error so I called customer service to report the error. Expected a quick call but nope I spent an hour instead!
Still can't believe because I was told my payment is on hold for "verification." The rep further explained the fund won't be available until 3/11. (What?) I told the fund was already cleared from other bank on 2/25 and it's posted even on WF. (But not giving me the credit available to use???) Simply replied it's their "policy" when a fund came from non WF account then they have "criteria" to put a hold! No such notification popped to warn me prior to using non WF account for the payment. In fact, this was 3rd payment (all made from non WF account) I have made and last two payments was not subject to such 2 weeks processing window. The rep said current payment was WAY more ($500 difference) than previous two payments and that's why it takes while... I mean I lost a word.
After received the credit card payment from my other bank, holding significant amount of paycheck for 2 weeks for verification is not justified to me. Now I don't have access to my $1000... Neither the checking account nor the credit card. I hope WF realized I have other expense to pay! The customer rep said to me this is very unfortunate. Ha.

I had a Wells Fargo credit card but it was closed by Wells Fargo after filing a consumer complaint and continued calls. Thus, I received money in a class action lawsuit regarding this company with similar complaints. Two in fact. Today I am near completion paying off my card. I am unable to access my account online, do not receive paper bills, therefore do not have my credit account number. I have no way of obtaining this.
Wells Fargo doesn't think ahead, nor plan for such circumstances.
I will never ever choose this bank due to their class actions suits, their history of problems and reputation. They need to be closed and clearly unable to support the services needed for their clients.

During a credit card dispute, Wells Fargo missed the deadline to submit documents on my behalf while arbitrating with a merchant who was charging me a 30% restocking fee for returned merchandise that came defective and not what was promised. Wells Fargo refunded me $0 of the $1800 during the chargeback for the returned merchandise, but acknowledged the merchant owed me money. I took the merchant to small claims court and during the court hearing I was given copies of arbitration documents. Noting there was no “arbitration ruling” document, I called the Dispute Resolution Department where I learned in great detail about Wells Fargo’s missed deadline which caused the merchant to win by forfeit.
The pre arbitration papers clearly state the merchant admitted the merchandise was defective upon return and therefore her policy of a restocking fee did not apply, but I received $0 refund from Wells Fargo. I had charged the $1800 downpayment for this merchandise on my PNC card and after disputing the same transaction, I was refunded the entire amount of $1800. When I approached Wells Fargo with the documents, they say they can’t do anything because the case is closed. Wells Fargo failed to do their job and I paid for their mistake. I have been a bank customer for many years and I’m so disappointed with the dishonest way they have handled my situation.

WELLS FARGO CARD FOR FURNITURE FAIR - First of all I put taxes, shipping was paid out of pocket. I waited a month for a bill statement. A month and 3 payments later I realized the bank account I had on my bill was on to get off. I called them and told them to refund the random person's money and bill me correctly. ($305) 3 calls later and an hour of waiting on hold I was told they can't do that. I said, "It's fraud you are going to do that." When the supervisor talks to me they inform me that they will fix. They figure out a way to fix it and take the wrong account info off. I go to pay $369 out of my account. They did not take the other person's information off. I accidentally did it again to these poor people. I catch it, call them. They say, "Don't worry. It's off," and will not charge them.
The next day I'm charged twice for the one transaction I've made for my own. I call to tell them to remove the extra transaction I didn't make. They say it can take 10 business days. 5 days later $369 is put back. 2 days later $369 is taken out again. I talk to Wells Fargo again. This time I'm told policy is to pull the money 3 times regardless. They even hung up on me this time. I call back on lunch. A lady reversed the payment again. She says it will not pull a 3rd time. At this point I have left half my paycheck in my account to bite the bullet and pay it all off within 2 weeks. Wells Fargo is by far the worst bank I have ever dealt with.

In order to rebuild my credit, I chose to open a Secured Credit Card. Wells Fargo was the best choice for me, with a minimum collateral payment of $300. I opened the card a year ago, paid in full and on time every month, and the Wells Fargo payment is always debited from my checking account a few hours later without issue. Yet it takes Wells Fargo a full week to allow my credit limit to return.
Furthermore, when I attempted to increase my collateral by $1200, in order to bring my credit limit to $1500, it took Wells Fargo a full 10 days to even acknowledge that they received my payment. I was then denied without as much as an explanation. So much for my attempts to rebuild my credit with Wells Fargo, and so much for Wells Fargo attempts to rebuild their public trust after the series of scandals that have plagued them. My advice is to not walk, but run from Wells Fargo. They don't deserve your business.

Personally would not bank with Wells Fargo if it wasn’t for the fact that Bob’s Furniture directly uses them to open their credit card lines. What they DON’T mention to you clearly is there is no type of grace period for your late payment. Late charge is assessed one day after payment is not made on the due date. Also when requesting for a one time courtesy fee waiver (mind you I’ve paid every bill on time and facing a temporary hardship being a new mother with a sick baby) they refused and claimed they are unable to do so because apparently you have to ask for a late charge waiver within 7 days with a payment. In addition to that, to get transferred to a supervisor to be told it’s not 7 days but 4-5 days. No wonder there’s so many bad reviews about this place! Absolutely no customer service excellence experienced whatsoever. Can’t wait to pay this thing off and close my account.

Hello, I've been a customer for Wells Fargo bank for a few years now. Although, I stayed after hearing how they were opening unauthorized credit cards accounts to bring up their numbers. I've been a loyal customer but as it turns out, you are just another number to them. So here my experience with Wells Fargo bank. Yesterday, my account went overdraft for an online purchase for the amount of $-4.65 in the morning or something like that and I was $35 and then another one for $11.79 with another $35 in fees.
Now, If I already was negative, why would a bank approved another transaction? the answer is easy, to take your money legally without you complaining. Another issue is their website so it doesn't show your actual balance. I have a business account and two other personal checking accounts with them (which I'll probably close soon). I feel as a customer for any bank, we should be allowed a grace period for any transaction that goes into our accounts that has not enough funds. The bank should allow us to place the funds within a reasonable time period or pull from another account. Anyhow, it is just another way of ripping us off money (legally) for them.

Want to get charged extra for depositing cash, this is your bank. They will also let you withdraw more money than is in your account and not say a word, is that so they can charge your credit card and collect a fee, $20 plus interest on the card.

I would not recommend this bank. There is no customer loyalty. I was a customer from 2013-2018. For approximately 5 years I never missed a payment. After I suddenly lost my job, I was unable to make payments for a period of three months. I made a good faith payment and openly communicated with Wells Fargo about my situation. Immediately after finding another job I told them when they could expect payment. The day before payday (which is when I told them they could expect the payment) they permanently closed my account. I was told by a customer service representative that when the account was current I could call back to get it reopened. I did so and was told by a manager, Jennifer, that there was no way to re-open an account that was closed due to delinquency. They would not reopen the account.
I understand I missed payments. But I was a loyal and on-time customer for FIVE YEARS. I told them exactly what was happening and continued to answer their calls even when they called up to five times per day (including Sundays and early mornings). They were not willing to work with me despite my on-time history, intent to pay, good faith payment, and loyalty. Conversely, my other credit card providers: Chase, Citi, Barclays did work with me and took into account my on-time payment history. I will soon be closing my checking account with Wells Fargo and moving to a bank that treats its loyal customers like human beings instead of liabilities. WF you have lost a valuable customer.

Please do not bank with Wells Fargo. Do not apply for a credit card with them. Their attitude towards their customers is still inflexible, and bordering on the criminal. I am starting a campaign against them. Please pass this along.

I have held a Wells Fargo card for many years. Repeatedly, I have problems entering my account online. The website either doesn't recognize me or it doesn't recognize my computer. In any case, I repeatedly reenter the information, which the website does not remember. Then, after three tries, I am locked out of my account. For all the money (and fake accounts) these people have, can't they even run a simple website? STAY FAR AWAY!!!

I have promised to get 200 dollars credit card bonus after 3 months of use, and it has been more than a years still waiting to get my 200 dollars bonus. Last December the service representative promised that it will be in my account by 2018, still waiting to get my bonus. And their customer service phone number is very busy, it has been 45 minutes in the phone, still waiting to get someone take care of me, while I am writing this.

Ok, so I've had a Wells Fargo credit card for a lot of years. I didn't have much personal dealings with the company, but today's event broke the proverbial back. I've never missed, or been late with a payment, but suddenly on the last statement a $37.00 LATE FEE appeared. After going through three departments (first two could "find" my account) I learned that the LATE fee was applied for November's payment -- the payment was made too EARLY, even though it was made after I had the monthly bill in hand.
A "late" fee for an early payment? Seems the appropriate fee should be called an "early fee." But, of course penalizing someone for an early payment defies not only acceptable financial practice, but common sense. We're familiar with "due dates" but has anyone ever seen a billing statement with a "not before" date? I called, made sure the fee was cancelled, and got today's payoff amount which I'm about to make, then cut the card. I've seen some fee gouging in my time, but this one sets the standard for gougers. Maybe I'm just too old; I remember the days when a credit card was a handy convenience instead of a way to get fleeced. I'll give two stars instead of what I'm feeling; one star because of all the previous years of good service Wells Fargo provided.

I guess this bank doesn't want responsible people for customers. When I called them to find out why I had been denied the Visa card, they said that my accounts were too new. I know that this is a lie because I am over fifty years old and have had some of my credit cards for over twenty years. Wells Fargo is a loser bank. Run, don't walk away from doing any business with them.

I have been a customer of Wells Fargo for over 15 years. I am a good customer, I have a few accounts and a credit card with them. I have known that they are unscrupulous and unethical, long before the "scandal" as they regularly stole hundreds of dollars from my deposits when I was running a business that took in hundreds to a couple of thousand small checks in my busy season, but that's another story. I have kept my accounts because of the length of time I have had them and because my business partner has an account there and we can move money between ourselves, the business and have some auto payments set up - just laziness lead me to keep my business here.
So on to the current situation: I have a credit card with a $23,000 credit limit I used the card somewhat extensively, to the limit, in 2014 paid it off and then used it for $35/mo for a recurring payment that was charged to it, that $35 was paid off each month. On August 8 of 2017 I began making large purchases on the card because I renovate homes and was at the point in a project of having to access some of my available credit. Throughout the months of August, September and October I made charges totaling over $23,000 (most were large $1000+ purchases (and a few small ones). On October 4th I made a $4720 charge that put me over the limit. The charge went through, it was near the beginning of my billing cycle that ends on the 22nd so I was unaware.
I continued to make charges throughout that billing cycle, they continued to be allowed even though I was WELL OVER the limit, I received no call and no communication that I was over the limit and the bill was not in yet.On October 6 a small charge of $66 went through (even though I was $2000 over the limit and not notified of that fact) THEN the most egregious: on October 16 I was permitted to charge $948! I received the bill dated October 22 and saw the over the limit, the statement required a payment of $4000 due to the over the limit amount. I made my payment, NOT the $4000 and moved on. I received my next bill and realized that the bigger problem, because it was showing that I had a late payment, was that I was looking at a reporting of late payment. I called WF promptly.
I spoke with a customer service rep, I told them of my situation, of course they could not do anything and they were "allowed" to process the charges and demand the entire amount. I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told none was available and one would call me back that day. No one called. The next day I got no less than 4 automated calls stating that my payment was past due and I was in danger of being reported to the credit bureaus. I called WF the next morning, it took about 4 people and I was put in touch with the "executive offices" I got assigned to a case manager, he seemed reasonable, he told me we would get this resolved within 10 days. He called me a few days later, maybe a week.
He offered "one option" MIGHT BE to apply to increase my credit limit, I declined for the reasons I did not want the inquiry on my report, I did not want an increase in my available credit and I would be paying the entire amount off within 2-3 months when my project was completed and sold. He said he understood and would get back to me. He did not, and it was the holidays, as we had discussed as long as the dispute was going no negative reporting would occur. That was not the case. I received an email alert from Experian that there was a change in my credit score, sure enough WF had reported me 30 days late as of Dec 19.
I HAD made my payment, though NOT the $4000 over the limit, I had initiated a dispute with the "executive offices" and was in contact with my case manager - he did not call me back as promised. I spoke with WF today, 2 and a half hours so far, including my "case manager" he was no longer sympathetic, he said WF is allowed to let cards go over the limit and make that amount immediately due. Typical WF unethical behavior, I would have understood that if the charge for $4720, that put me over the limit, was allowed and that additional was immediately due, they could make a case for that. What they cannot make a case for are the 2 other charges over 2 weeks that they allowed to go through. Of course it is because they want the fee paid by the merchant, first on that almost $5,000 and then on the other almost $1000 purchase.
They didn't care how I would pay it, they didn't care what damage it would do to me, they wanted to make their money and who cares about the consumer! When I realized they reported me late, I called. I spoke with my "case manager" and his manager and both said they are allowed to let charges in excess of the limit go through, it is on the enclosures with the credit card, they are allowed to and they are allowed to make them immediately due. I told them they got me, they won, I'd pay the excess immediately, but I wanted it removed from my credit report. Both men told me that they were required to report "accurate" information to the credit agencies. They told me that they were unable to and unallowed by law to change that. WF actually told me it was their ETHICAL and legal responsibility to accurately report negative activity!
I still have not seen the letter with the dispute resolution, the first guy claimed it was mailed on the 20th of Dec. (today is the 28th). I reminded him there was a weekend and Christmas. The next guy gave me a timeline that changed a few times. First he said the dispute was placed on the report on the 7th, removed from reports as resolved on the 19th and reported late. Then he told me I initiated the dispute on the 1st of Dec, they entered it into the credit reporting on the 5th - when I repeated what he told me previously (as I was taking notes) he said they received confirmation from the bureaus on the 7th. During another part of the conversation he told me the dispute was resolved internally on the 14th and case was closed on the 15th. All without notice to me, all while I was waiting for a phone call from the guy who was working on it.
I reminded him that all this time, while that was going on I was awaiting a promised phone call. The first thing I said when I initiated the dispute was that my credit score was the most important thing to me. I did not feel I should have to pay the over amount immediately and I was disputing that but I would before I would allow it to negatively affect my credit report. I thought we were in the middle of a negotiation, I thought, because I was told, I would receive a call before any additional action was taken. They keep standing by that they sent me a letter informing me of the outcome - I was told by the first guy it was sent on the 20th of Dec. Which would have been a day AFTER credit bureaus were notified, so they were notified before I was, the damage was done before I was even notified.
Maybe legally they are allowed to let me go over the limit, and I could have understood letting 25% of the first large charge go through (I don't think it would have been right but not so egregiously wrong) but to continue to allow charges is going against the spirit of the 2010 credit card protection law that no longer allowed credit card companies to let consumers charge over the limit and charge an over the limit fee - ok, they did not charge me a "fee" but they did something far worse. Moral of the story, stay far far away from WF bank. They are known thieves. They do not operate within the law, and if they do it is on the very edge. They do not have any intention of looking out for the interest of their customers, they want to make every penny they can no matter the effect on their customer.

I applied for the Cash Wise Visa because it said I would get a $200 credit after spending 1000 in 90 days. I spent that and called them and they said I had to wait 90 days. I waited 90 days and then they said they were checking into it. I did not get a call back so I called again a few weeks ago and they again were checking on it.

Have been banking with Wells Fargo for as long as it has been in Danbury CT USA, this location has changed hands (banks) approx. 6 times since I have lived in Danbury, 37yrs. I recently opened a credit card with that bank (5/17) and have now (11/17) had three different credit card number changes, 1 card stolen and, of course what else, fraud. Dealing with the customer service people has been impossible, resolving an issue takes too much time and I hear such uncooperation when I talk to them.
These huge enterprises are based on their customers, if customer service SUCKS they are going to lose customers. I recently closed credit cards with another worldwide banking enterprise for the same reason. If they don't care, neither do I, there are plenty of other banks to deal with. GET SMART or your worldwide enterprise will become obsolete. You can obtain voice documentation from Wells Fargo bank as they record conversations, if they haven't edited them or erased them to save their own ERRORS!!

Signed up for a credit card in March 2017, was told I would not receive any interest until 2018 by August 2017, I was billed Interest with 27.99 % ARP. When I called Wells Fargo and asked, they said the “promotion was over”... so they lied about my term agreements. I missed a payment, over 30 days. They closed my account without telling me and now I’m credit score is ruined. Please be aware, I mean, how can you trust a business that made fraud customer accounts?!

I received an invite for a credit card promo ($200) from Wells Fargo and applied for it and was approved immediately. After 5 days, I received the card and tried to activate it online but will not let me. So I called the phone number on the front to activate and was told that I need to go to a branch to activate it. This was a shock as I had 30+ of credit card experience and never was asked to go to a branch. Since my time is more valuable than just going to a branch to get it activated, I googled this company and not surprising to find so many complaints about this.
The next day, I called up to close my card, not wanting to deal with this scam. To my surprise, I was told that they cannot close this as I need to go to a branch in order to close the account. What a scam this is and I regret to applying for this card. I have since filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (if you have issues with financial institutions, this is the place to file the complaint) so that my account can be closed and not have to deal with this bank ever again.
