    In 2001 we got a open line of credit through Wells Fargo Financial, in 2006 it was paid off completely. Not once in 13 years did we ever get a statement in the mail about this account, when we tried to refinance this came up as a lien against our home even though it's been paid off. We have been fighting this for over 2 months to get a single piece of paper to close this account. I have hated Wells Fargo since 2001 when we first did this, I will hate Wells Fargo for the rest of my life because they suck!!!!

    While visiting family in Florida 800 miles from home my husband became unexpectedly ill and died. This resulted in a major decrease in income. He has insurance but I am unable to get home for 2 months to get to the policy. I called to ask for a 4 month extension to be added to the end of the loan. We have owned the home for 10 years - never been late on a payment - have actually paid extra on the principal and have an excellent credit score. I have $150k in equity. I was given several options including 2 with deferred payment but then have to pay the full 4 months at the end of those months or a refinance program I probably wouldn’t qualify for. I did not want anything more than a few months to grieve get the insurance money and get back on my feet.

    After their scandal over opening credit cards illegally one would think they would be more in tune with their customers' needs. I have no idea what hospital bills will be coming and do not want to use all my savings until I know. During this tragedy I would have expected some degree of compassion. My family and I will never use Wells Fargo again for any banking needs. They look for way to take your home.

    Object: Refinance investment property with Wells Fargo held Mortgage... 20 years remaining at 6.5% into a 15 year mortgage at 4.75%. My experience: Fifty six days of insatiable demand for financials already provided and/or readily available through review of my business and personal checking accounts. Their Underwriting Writers could not comprehend basic accounting principles. Example "Verify in writing where your $30,000 deposit to a mutual fund came." Answer: "Look at my Wells Fargo Business Account (with balance of $400,00); then look at transfer to my Wells Fargo Personal Account; then look at auto transfer from my Wells Fargo Personal account into my mutual fund Account." And on, and on, and on for 55 days... On day 56 I said, "Enough. Cancel my application." P.S. Chase qualified me in 72 hours, closed three weeks later.

    I am self-employed, Great credit score (almost 800), at least 200k equity in my home & my business makes decent money. Been a customer with Wells Fargo for over 22 years. NEVER been late on a payment. Always paid more than the payment amount. Sounds good so far? Recently I asked Wells Fargo to pull 50k out of my home. They asked me to pay for an appraisal & credit check to the sum of $505.00. After all that, I receive a call from Wells Fargo today telling me that the underwriter would like for me to pay off a couple of bills in order to continue with the loan.

    Also the underwriter said that my total income is $1600.00 per month. I immediately said that if my take-home pay was $1600.00 per month I'd be filing for BANKRUPTCY! Then I said to them I'm glad that I really don't need the money & please STOP all actions on the refinancing of my home. I will look elsewhere. I also ask them to send me ALL the documents that I have given them & a copy of the underwriter's report. I can't believe the underwriter & Wells Fargo. I told them that I am going to find another lender to take over my balance of my home & I will NEVER do business with them again.

    After I lost my job due to the company filing bankruptcy, I applied for mortgage assistance with Wells Fargo. They offered me reduced payments for 6 months. During the 6 months they continued to report negatively on my credit report and held each payment in suspense until a full payment was made. During this time, and even though they were showing a past due amount, I felt everything was being done on an ethical basis. At the end of the “mortgage assistance”, I asked to extend the reduced payments as things were getting better for my family and me but we weren’t back to our original income.

    The second time around communications with my “home preservation specialist ceased to exist. They requested information that a less educated person would have no way of gathering. Then I quickly received a letter in the mail claiming my only option was a short sale of my home based on my income level. The income was stated in two different spots on the form at two different levels and was about 20% of our actual income. I called 9 times without a return call from my “home preservation specialist”.

    I finally reached someone who had no knowledge of my account and confirmed that the amount shown by Wells Fargo to determine my eligibility was a gross amount. And confirmed the requirements to eligible for assistance which was the mortgage payment needed to be no more than 20% of my gross household income. I requested an appeal and sent a certified letter with documentation my income exceeded the threshold to receive assistance. The loan is a VA loan, so there are many option supposedly available. In the letter I requested for the past due to be applied to the end of the note and have payments return to the original amount.

    Before my certified letter was even signed for as receipt by Wells Fargo, I received a letter stated Wells Fargo was reviewing my appeal. 2 days after the receipt of the certified letter, I received another letter rejecting my appeal with no explanation as to why. There is no way they reviewed my documentation. I still cannot reach my “home preservation specialist” Leslie **. There is nothing about this program that resembles mortgage assistance or a home preservation specialist. I am convinced this program is being mismanaged by Wells Fargo to drive troubled customers into foreclosure. I’d give them zero stars if possible and plan to file suit against them.

    Updated on 03/05/2019: After receiving a prompt reply to my previous Consumer complaint, I was hopeful for a resolution. Emails and phone calls asking me to let them look into this. I received a letter dated the day of the phone call denying again help with the mortgage. So, while they were talking to me about help, they had already mailed out a letter of denial. This is about as low as you can go. Not only did they deny help they lied about receiving paperwork from me that supported their reason for denial. I now know what my next step will be. Have to check a star in order to post.

    Original review: After my husband passed my income dropped by 60%. I applied for a loan modification from Wells Fargo. After submitting and submitting all the paperwork I received a letter telling me that I didn't qualify. My income in the letter was incorrect, much more than I submitted. I called Wells Fargo and told them about the error and they told me that they grossed up my income. I asked them to explain what this meant and she said they grossed up my income to a level that I might earn over the next 40 years. I am 68 years old and on Social Security!! How can they do this?

    I have a mortgage through Wells Fargo. I have an Escrow account set up with them because it is required for "convenience". I checked my account on Feb 5, 2019 to make sure my insurance had been paid because they had failed to do so in December 2018. They paid my homeowners policy but not the windstorm and lied to me and told me it was because they didn't get an invoice (same insurance company for both policies). I had to call my insurance company, whom has never failed to send an invoice in the past 9 years, and get them to reinstate my policy and get Wells Fargo to call them (escrow's entire purpose is to avoid this). I went to check my account on Feb 5, 2019 to make sure all payments had been made because apparently I have to do their jobs as well.

    I discovered that on Jan 10, 2019 there was a payment made from my account in the amount of $1250 to AAA insurance for a policy that is not mine, for an address where I do not live, for a person with a different name whom I have never met in a different state. I called and have been on the phone for hours over the past few days, and have now been told that it will be researched by a specialist. It takes up to 2 business days to assign the case and another 10 days or longer to resolve it.

    I have done the research. They have admitted their mistakes and that their own policies were not followed when distributing the money, yet they still have to wait all this time to give me my money back. This happened on Jan 10, 2019 and I am not getting my money until maybe March, but who knows because every time I ask for someone's number up the ladder to call, I'm told they can email them and they will call me at their convenience or they have no number at all.

    My wife and I have been with WF for 10 years and last year fell on hard times after losing both of our parents. After falling behind on our mortgage we were told that we could have asked for a forbearance months later. We began to go through the foreclosure process and was sent back funds in the form of a check from payments we were making. We reached out to the company to have our mortgage restructured and were continuing to make payments as planned. We never heard back from the agent and our plan had seemed to be removed. After speaking with another representative several weeks later, we were promised that they will be with us "every step of the way", we received a notification in the mail that we are now in foreclosure again.

    This has been going on for about 8 months. Since we spoke with both representatives we have heard nothing but crickets on how to get help to resolve this issue. In correspondence we were notified that we did not fill out the 5 page document that was due back most recently even though we have confirmation that it has been sent. If I could give advice to anyone looking for a mortgage I would definitely advise to run as fast and as far away as you can from WF. They will drain you. They will not help you.

My home cost me $300k to build 5 years ago and after upgrades, increases in tax assessments and home that are the exact same model and upgrades as mine were selling for $330k+ I decided to do a BPO. THESE CROOKS VALUED MY HOME AT $258k so I would have to continue to pay PMI. I disputed it and fought with their customer service for 6 months and even went through the BBB and they refused to redo the BPO, refund my fee, remove the PMI or sell my mortgage to another lender.

This leave you no access to your money when you're traveling overseas with no alternative than to fly back to your home for the new card they sent you or wait days in one location overseas for them to sent a new card there.

    If you get behind on your Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, they will disable your ability to pay using their online account center. It doesn't matter whether you've had no NSFs, payment issues in the past or any other problem. If you fall behind, you will need to resort to alternative methods to get money to them. Forcing you into more difficult methods of payment should be illegal.

    I have had a credit card in the past that actually gave MORE, FREE options to pay instantly if you happened to come close to your due date. It is obvious that Wells Fargo has no interest in actually resolving accounts, and simply is still trying to summarily begin foreclosure or get as close to foreclosure as possible by placing roadblocks in the way of customers. Simple fact of the matter is, I'd rather be on their website, submitting a payment right now, rather than here. Instead the message I have is: "...Not currently eligible for online payments. Possible reasons include overdue payments..." Seriously, take my money!

    I bought my home 7 years ago. After losing 2 jobs in the same year, I applied for a loan modification. I had some income when Wells Fargo put me on a trial payment program for four months. They strung me along for over a year. My arrears was approximately $30000. I found a job paying significantly less than I was used to making. Wells Fargo denied the modification. I filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy. I applied again for the modification. I was ordered to pay an additional thousand dollars through bankruptcy. This time the modification was approved. I was never offered the HARP or HAMP programs to get an affordable mortgage through Wells Fargo.

    Fast forward 3 years later my mortgage has gone from a 224000 mortgage to a 278000 mortgage. I can't just walk away as easy as people think. This is a VA loan and with bad credit where will my son and I live? I've asked for help and no one can help me. My monthly payment has jumped from 1300 to 2013 per month. Wells Fargo has held onto my mortgage since I've been in the home.

Another instance - Wells Fargo rejected my 7 year ARM and offered me 30-year mortgage which I said no to and never wanted it in the first place. That's fine but I said NO to Rich and he mentioned in the application that I said YES. All it is verbal. I gave him reasons too that why I want to go for 7 year ARM and he agreed to it but in the application, he mentioned that I said yes to 30-year fixed mortgage.

    We were put into a mortgage at 10.8% interest in 2008 because we were behind on some bills. We were told that if we kept it current for 6 months they would refinance at a lower rate. We did. They wouldn't. This mortgage has haunted us for 10 years. We have fought to get help every way we could imagine. The mortgage assistance department actually offered us a modification at one point that raised our monthly payment. We have been lied to repeatedly during this process.

Couldn’t fix his back but they had to do a partial nephrectomy! Hardship loans!! Bunk!!! Loan modification attempts probably ate up at least 4 or 5 years of our lives!! The famous 6 months to a year of paperwork each time! Then you’re told your income does not substantiate a loan! Hardships must only be for financially fit people? Here’s the real picture! They determine your income at the beginning process of the loan so they already know they’re not going to help you, they just string you along for months! Now the reason you’re applying for this modification is because you need to lower your mortgage payment to help you meet your “hardship” needs!

    So while you are already devastated by your life altering hardships they consume so much of your time that you are mentally exhausted from trying to get help to save your home-your place of true comfort while your hearts are broken!! They sold our loan and we have a new servicer starting December 4th 2018!! Reviews on this company are super disheartening. They researched our complaints for about 4 months! Told us they absolved themselves of guilt with regards to our situation! Guess they forgot about attorney fees to save our home while my husband was trying to recover from his surgery!! They did also repossess his vehicle while he was laying there sawed in half with a crushed back and crushed arm! I understand that business is business but when there is a real human tragedy or shall I say hardship rules need to go out the door! Or at least stop fooling the customers with fake hope!!

    We have never recovered from all the trauma, it was touch and go mentally for a long time! We missed so much by being consumed with the lies they told!! Where’s the help for all the people they led on even though they knew income guidelines were not met in the beginning of each modification you applied for?? Where is the justification for all of us for the mental trauma?? Never had too much!! Survival mode is something we used to! But they sent us to the edge far too many times! It’s not even so much about being denied as it is for the fact that they traumatized so very many people. Should decent people because of unfortunate and life altering events be left with no real choices? Help all people to regain their ability to feel they are worthy!

    We are in a Chapter 13 and we have had two attorneys "leave the business" of bankruptcy. Our second attorney told us to apply for a loan modification through Wells Fargo and said based on our circumstances we should qualify. We started 12/26/17. Our first point of contact lasted two months, then we got assigned to another point of contact. While they were considering us for a modification Wells Fargo sent their legal team after us. We were then forced to pay an extra $952 a month on top of our $1904 mortgage payment.

    As soon as we agreed and paid our $1904 and $952 we were then sent a letter stating our mortgage was in arrears by $4400 and if we didn't pay in one month our payment would go up $400. So now we were expected to pay $1904, $952, $400. We were "denied" due to guidelines of bankruptcy (they never asked Trustee to review anything.). We were also denied for "affordability" AFTER I went from being a stay at home mom to owning my own company to make more money to prove we can handle the mortgage payment. THEN we had a HUD counselor help us.

    We were again chased by their legal team and also appeal because their math was NOT correct on their denial. They responded with one line stating still denied. We are now faced with less than 30 days to sell our house, no real answers. By basic math their loan modification should be APPROVED. We have 80k equity in home and now scrambling to sell because of this. My father is 75 and disabled and diabetic, he is being forced to move into one bedroom and has cried feeling he will be homeless because of this.

He royally messed up my application, forgetting to add key elements of the mortgage (like the fact that the new home was going to be under construction for 4 months) and then forced me to use his friend who was an insurance broker to write the insurance policy.

    I live in Baton Rouge, LA. The area in which I lived flooded in mid-August 2016, most of the homes getting 4 feet of water or more. After being put through hell with the flood insurer to get funds so that I could start repairs, the next, and worst, circle of hell was dealing with Wells Fargo. The insurance company, after many calls from me, finally released my repair funds... to Wells Fargo, who swooped in and took charge of it. Even though it was not THEIR MONEY, but money I was entitled to for having paid flood insurance premiums for over a decade, I thought, "OK, fair enough... They have a financial stake in the house."

    Imagine my frustration at having Wells Fargo sit on my money for another month, so that I could not even get the contractor started on the house until very late October. It took phone calls, visits to the local office, mediation with a representative, and my threatening to sue them to get them to release any of my insurance money in order to get started on home repairs. They cut a check for half the money and then told me they would release half of the remaining half when I passed a 50% completion inspection. Fine, no problem.

    But then when it came time for them to release the balance of my money after the 100% inspection, they gave me more problems. Starting with sending out an "inspector" one month who found fault, and then sending out a second one about a month later, who said that the first inspector was completely wrong in her inspection and that I should have already been given the money. Bottom line: Wells Fargo and its representatives are indifferent to tragedy, dishonest, avaricious, and uncooperative. I vehemently suggest not doing any sort of business with that organization. It deserves to burn, and the incompetents running it should all die in a house fire.

Never answered one single question! They definitely don't know the definition of Customer Service. I then physically went into a branch where I live to make eye contact with someone. While making the payment I was told my account number no longer existed. I was stunned!

    I remained at the branch for over an hour talking to more reps on the line when I was told they would not accept my payment as they were starting foreclosure proceedings. Since when don't you accept a payment. Didn't know Wells Fargo wants to own Real Estate now. WTF! So the snowball starts again. Ding – Ding. This is the worst bank ever. The banking commission needs to hear what is being done to the consumer. Something is not right here!!! We need to get together and make this public knowledge!!! Maybe then they will get the message loud and clear.

    I chose Wells Fargo to handle my home mortgage because I have banked with them for close to 50 years & have bought/sold 2 other homes through them in the past without a problem. This time has been ridiculously difficult. There were many delays, poor communication, & poor follow through. I have had to call & email constantly to ensure that things were being handled in a timely manner & that I was being informed. I would not recommend using Wells Fargo for a home mortgage.

    I had a loan secured with another bank, which was going to allow me to pay half my mortgage on the 15th and the other half on the 1st, this technique, allows the borrower to pay less interest over the life of the loan. When I went into Wells Fargo branch in Redondo Beach, CA and worked with Ryan ** and Anita to do the wire transfer to open escrow, they were delighted to see if they could obtain the loan business. They offered me a lower interest rate than I had with my current lender.

    The first question I asked was could I make two payments a month in order to pay less interest over time and have that applied when the payment was made; I didn't realize that the time, but what happened was Ryan did answer that, yes, I could pay less interest over the life of the loan by doing biweekly payments and this would result in an additional payment each year. I assumed this to mean the payments would be applied when I made them and in order to do this, I would also need to make an additional payment each year, because of how the calendar works out.

    After I closed and received my amortization schedule from the bank, I saw and read that Wells Fargo would be doing the biweekly payments, but they "hold" the first payment until the end of the month and apply the whole payment at the end of the month and the real and only interest savings comes from the extra payment per year that hits all principal. This was deceivingly misleading and not what I understand that I was getting into. This whole biweekly set up is deceiving misleading all around. This is unethical, and I would not recommend Wells Fargo anymore; which is unfortunate as I loved my banking relationship with them prior to being deceived.

    I was reluctant to go through with using my VA benefits with Wells Fargo to purchase my home due to two previous experiences with auto loans where the service was a huge pain to handle. But my realtor assured me he hadn't heard anything bad. Fine. There I was, 3 years into the loan with no issues and hurricane Matthew hit us and caused us some issues and damage to the house. I called and said I needed help because the hurricane had set us back with not being able to work and the damage to the house. The rep assured me they would do all they could and assured me that it wouldn't effect my credit. Liar. He was simply buying time to assist in making the matter worse, and then when I brought this to the attention of a different rep, they said they would review and they did then they said they would send the matter to their underwriters to determine the best route for me and they'd call or email me to discuss my options.

    A month after that I get the foreclosure notice. I guess they figured they'd just make the choice for me and I don't deserve a say for my time in service and the privilege I gave them to have my loan. So, now they're just going to take my house from me and play dumb. Classy. And typical. This bank is all around garbage and it's mind-blowing that they're still allowed to stay in business. I have read a few other reviews giving the same details as my situation, so I'm not the only Vet they're taking for a ride. Take your money and business elsewhere to a more reputable bank.

    I am a Real Estate broker, representing the seller in a real estate transaction. The buyer elected to use Wells Fargo for their financing. After the contract was submitted to Wells Fargo so that they could begin working on the file, the file sat in limbo (from 7/21 - 8/13) before being sent to processing. The buyer's agent and myself both tried to contact the bank on multiple occasions to get an update, only to NEVER get a response. Finally on 8/7, I received an email from the loan officer stating that she had been out of the office for health reasons. I never got an out of office message and apparently there was no back-up taking care of her workload while she was out.

    After an additional week of no updates, I reached out to the branch manager and was told that they would escalate the file, but that they couldn't really talk to me about any details, as I wasn't the buyer or their agent. Keep in mind, I was not asking for any specific NPI or buyer details, but only enough information to pass along and set an expectation for my seller. My seller was counting on this deal to close on time, as she was taking a new job in Texas and was originally supposed to be there on 8/27. The whole reason she was selling her home to begin with.

    Finally, Wells Fargo sent the documentation to the closing attorney, stating that closing would be set for 9/13. When pressed to try and escalate, Wells Fargo told the closing attorney that they could possibly move closing up to 9/10, but he never heard back from them. On 9/12, all of the sudden each of the signatures that Wells Fargo had on the documents we provided all "disappeared", at which point they requested the documents be re-signed. After sending and re-sending the same exact documents, FINALLY, they saw the signatures.

    At 9:15 pm the night before closing, the loan officer sent out an email stating that there had been a "miscommunication" and that the file was still in underwriting, pending approval. Closing could not occur the next day and it would have to be sometime the following week. At this point, I escalated to the Office of the President at Wells Fargo and received a call from Nicholas **. Apparently an executive "Resolution Specialist". After being presented with the evidence showing that Wells Fargo had dropped the ball, he essentially washed his hands of the situation and was sure to tell me that, while unfortunate, Wells Fargo doesn't really care about the impact to the seller because they are not Wells Fargo's customer.

    He also went as far as stating that he felt Wells Fargo did a great job because all they could see is that the application was started on 8/13 and that they were able to get it clear to close in 30 days. He refused to acknowledge the PROOF I sent him showing that the application was completed on 7/7/18 and that the contract was sent to the LO on 7/21.

    He did volunteer to coordinate a closing for my seller, as she could no longer wait to start her new job in Texas. He stated that it would be easy for them to set up a closing for her when she got there. I told him that we would need for him to take care of coordinating her closing, but I had to send two additional emails and leave an additional voicemail for him because he did not respond. When Nicholas finally DID call me back, he volunteered no help at all, simply stating "Wells Fargo only needs one document from your seller and the closing attorney already has it. Try to get it worked out with them."

    If you are a home buyer, steer clear. If you are a home seller, I urge that you CAREFULLY consider any offers you receive from a buyer who wishes to use Wells Fargo. If you are a real estate broker, I suggest you consider recommending one of your other preferred lenders. After a 14 year career in mortgage and banking and over 45 Real Estate transactions as a RE Broker over the past 2.5 years, this was BY FAR the worst transaction I have ever been a part of. The way Wells Fargo handled it was embarrassingly poor.

They like to send paper copy each month instead, making inconvenience for me and not thinking about our environment and trees.

Days later we were encountering NSF fees which were a result of the auto-pay set up in error. We contacted Wells Fargo and they informed us they would reimburse us for the overdraft fees. When we called back to follow up, nothing had been done.

    The person we spoke with that time told us he would submit the request. Ten days later, still nothing and the request was pending. A week later, we're told a check went out on the Thursday. We expected to receive in the mail by Tuesday. Today is Wednesday and I called to get the status. I was told the "physical" check was cut on Friday. It is never easy with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

    We recently closed two loans (primary mortgage and HELOC) totaling over $1,000,000 with Wells Fargo (6/29/2018). During the process WF continued to debit our July HELOC payment from our checking account even though we had paid off the loan in full via our closing process. After a week of back and forth calls with WF I demanded all accounts be closed, including checking and savings, so that we would not have to continue to deal with this nightmare. I assumed the accounts would be closed ASAP.

    Within three weeks after this incident we began receiving "zero balance" notices, and account service charges against the accounts that were supposed to be closed due to WF accepting a $10 charge from our insurance provider due to them incorrectly billing WF instead of our other bank. Total charges now stand at over $75.

    Upon calling WF "Customer Care" specialists it was demanded that we pay all charges in full. The first clown (Customer Care Specialist?) we spoke to went so far as to threaten our credit rating (800+) if we did not reconcile. The second clown stated they would open a case and audit all phone calls we had with the bank to ensure that we were telling the truth regarding the request to close the accounts (account balance was zero balance as soon as we settled the entire HELOC pay-off mess that WF caused).

    When I insisted on being able to hear the calls from which they would make their judgement, I was told I would have to seek a subpoena through my attorney. I hope WF is able to listen to these calls.

    Upset over me, a widow, having Wells Fargo telling me I must pay double closing costs since my name was MISTAKENLY not on loan, but I am on title. I asked to have them waive this, but received a denial letter. I spoke with a representative from Wells Fargo and they told me I can sell my cheap townhome since assumption of loan is an option and they will not go after me for double costs if I decide to sell or pay my small mortgage off. Requested this in writing and did not receive it. I paid an attorney close to 2 thousand dollars to review loan assumption packet initially mailed to me. Attorney told me Wells Fargo is the devil and not to pay a cent. This debate has been going on since 2014!

    Working with Wells Fargo for my mortgage has been one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. Unfortunately our first mortgage lender sold our mortgage to Wells so we did not have any choice. Since starting with Wells, everything seems really good, their consultants seem nice, but once you actually start to work with them, the deceit and starts.

    Given our property is in a flood zone, we're required to have flood insurance. Wells sent my wife and I a letter stating and we promptly sent details on our active flood policy to their department. We proceeded to get 4 phone calls asking for us to send the policy and was sent to their group again and again. The supposedly "never received it" and then proceeded to write a policy through their own company since they said we did not have coverage. Although we did everything right and had coverage, we had to fight to not pay for "their policy" and deal with constant back and forth with poor customer service.

    Secondly, the Wells Fargo Mortgage Consultants lie. Given our property went up in value, we were trying to remove our PMI since our LTV ratio was high enough to remove the PMI. After consulting with a Wells employee, my wife and I spent $575 to get an appraisal done. The appraisal was even higher than expected and LTV ratio was better than we thought. After the fact, Wells sales our mortgage has been sold again and now we need to show proof of structural improvements of $46,000 to remove our PMI. The appraisal company is affiliated with Wells and they get a piece of the appraisal fee. A classic bait and switch. Although we disputed the denial of our PMI, Wells did not help and just took the $575 fee as a result. These are just two of the poor experiences with Wells. Wells has a really bad reputation in the past, but their poor service and shady tactics continue into 2018. Avoid this firm at all costs for your mortgage or any financial matters.

    I will focus on fraud and extortion re my first mortgage. But there is more. Wells told me they were ignoring my contract and charging me interest as they saw fit on my first mortgage. Example: Say my adjustable rate mortgage called for 5% interest for that month; Wells might charge me 6 1/2%, or maybe an extra $1,000/month, which went straight to profits. I caught what they were doing, described the fraud to them, and my complaint went immediately to their restitution department to be repaid. I assume I was not the first to make that complaint.

    The parties agreed that over $101,000 had been frauded by charging excess interest over contract, and Wells admitted gratuitously that they were doing the same thing to at least 1 M adjustable rate holders ("it was nothing personal"). The case was set for settlement until a Wells executive called me to cancel it. Reason: Congress deregulated national banks, which Wells interpreted to mean that because there was no one there to enforce the law that contract and consumer law no longer applied to mortgage contracts. So: Sorry for your loss.

    I think of this as Wells' excess interest charge fraud. There is a second type which I think of as the principal to interest fraud in which Wells diverts monies that should go to principal to interest. Example: I noticed that principal owed on my Home Equity loan was obviously too high. I called Wells many times. They would not discuss it. I filed a complaint with the OCC, which used to regulate Wells. The OCC found against Wells in the amount of $10,023 if my math is correct. I discovered a similar fraud on my first mortgage which I estimated at $47,000.

    Since Wells is no longer regulated by the OCC and no one in government arbitrates disputes with Wells, the bank is free to take as much money as they want. When I asked Wells for a 30 year amortization schedule to check my math, Wells gave me a fax # to make a written request. I then called after I did not receive the schedule, and I was told: "Wells Fargo is not required by law to supply this information to its customers." That was in December 2017. Unlike the settlement via the OCC, Wells continues to take as much money on my first mortgage as it wants each month. I also tried the BBB which, I was told, refuses to arbitrate Wells cases anymore. Wells is no longer a BBB member last I checked. Despite its pledge in its national tv advertising to "turn over a new leaf" in 2018 and not fraud its customers as it had.

    Extortion: A lady (name withheld) from Wells told me and a consumer affairs witness that I was $55,000 behind in my payments (15) and would I like to pay that by check or credit card? All the payments were made in full and on time. Copies of the receipts and fronts and backs of the checks were tendered to Wells. Whether Wells will sell my house unannounced remains undetermined.

    Summary: Wells has frauded and tried to extort me for $261,000 (approximate) through several mortgage fraud schemes. $10,023 from this total was recovered for me by the OCC, which was later eliminated by Wells as a bank regulator through congressional action. Customers will now have to download 30 year amortization schedules from the net to determine whether Wells has been diverting their principal payments to interest. [yes, I have a copy of the OCC settlement on Wells stationary]. Wells executives told me directly they were doing 'excess interest' charges on all adjustable rate mortgage customers. They laughed and told me it would be too much trouble to single me out for extra interest payments as an individual customer. They thought that was a good joke -- that it was 'just me'.

    In 2009, Wells Fargo called and said I could get a better mortgage loan and pay off my bills too. Well that didn't happen, they did pay off my bills, but my interest rate was 11.8%. The lady doing the loan said, "Don't worry, you can refinance in a couple months and get a better rate." Well no, I couldn't.

    In Feb of 2016, I didn't make a payment. (Didn't remember it either.) When they would call and ask me about it, I had just made a payment. Each payment they would say, "You made a late payment." No, I made it. When they would call I would ask them when was the payment missed, anyway they never to tell me so all this time they have charged me with late fee on every payment, even when I started making 1000. dollars, they would call but couldn't tell when I missed a payment. I have asked for 3 home modification loan, all have been turned down.

    I applied for a mortgage loan on an investment property. It took over three months to close because of Wells Fargo. My credit score is around 800, and I had the funds ready to go but they kept making the process more and more difficult. They said they would do the loan, then wouldn't do it, then would do it, but not in my location. (Like what I am supposed to do move a house?) Their appraiser did a HORRIBLE job, he went AWOL and didn't return and phone calls for a few weeks which delayed our closing. Followed up by an inaccurate appraisal, they even sent me the wrong appraisal (someone else's house) once. We missed our closing date and the seller and I agreed that I would get a certain percentage of rent money if we closed by a certain day... Missed that thanks to WF.

    When I called Heidi ** with customer recovery she agreed that the monetary loss was WF fault and said they could send me a check... A few days go by... A week goes by and she says can't make it happen. I told them this is the difference between me using WF and being an unsatisfied customer. They were okay with that.

    Our mortgage was sold to Wells Fargo by Seneca whom we had been with for 5 yrs w/o notification in January 2018. Wells recently sent an escrow shortage notice following payment of the annual HO insurance premium. My payment was increased monthly for remainder of 2018/19 to accommodate. My concern is that every year at same time the payment will be increased citing a shortage. Not so, with my impound account the monies are replenished on a monthly basis accumulating enough to accommodate the subsequent yrs payment. Wells Fargo apparently sees this as a method to increase the payment needlessly enhancing theirs coffers; depleting mine. This annual increase offsets any reduction in principal and increases the interest due. In reality there is never an escrow shortage when annual payment due, please advise.

There will be funds left over for the insurance loss, which have nothing to do with Wells Fargo. We attempted to take care of this at one of the bank locations that deal with mortgages. We were told they could not handle the transaction; that the check must be sent to corporate and they would get the rest of our money back to us "sometime."

    No one seems to be able to explain why the bank cannot handle the transaction, nor can anyone explain why they are unable to provide a timeline for the funds that are owed us... outside of the mortgage payoff. The fire has been devastating to my family, the customer service at Wells Fargo is abysmal and has only served to increase the stress and frustration involving this situation. The fact that they don't want to take the payoff directly means that we will still have to make payments on a house that does not exist... and any time they have our insurance money in their bank will earn them interest.

    Due to a personal situation, I paid my property taxes (3) mos late. This is the first and only time I have ever paid ANY BILL LATE, MUCH LESS MY TAXES. By the time I paid the taxes, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (WFHM) had already paid. They then MANDATED that I escrow taxes and doubled by monthly payment. I contacted them and pleaded that they not do this but they were steadfast in their stance. I do not understand this as I have been a homeowner for over 40 years and have never escrowed. My credit rating is among the top 2% in the country. I have never paid WFHM late. I owe nothing but my home and only owe 25% of its value at that.

    I asked WFHM to release the escrow requirement and they have refused. WFHM told me they "HAD to require an escrow account", when in fact my contract states they "CAN" implement an escrow account. So why are they doing this? There is NO REASON other than they want to hold my money and make money for themselves. I am an excellent customer with excellent credit, no debt, and have only missed the tax deadline once in my entire life. What is their problem?

I was told to file a complaint, so they could look into it further. Several weeks went by and I received a letter stating there was no misinformation given, and they would not be retracting the negative filings to the credit bureaus.

    IN 2007 we purchased a piece of property using a land to build loan. In 2011 we went to upgrade our loan to a mortgage through Wells Fargo, whom we had had our previous mortgage with. They said no problem, and started the process. Started the process in May 2011, everything was approved but then it wasn't. They sent an appraiser and home and property were appraised in the upper 6k figures. Everything was good, they said. Then the delays started. They disapproved the appraiser report, their appraiser, they said we needed a bigger down payment. We owned outright the $175,000 home we had put on the property, all we were mortgaging was the initial land purchase or 450,000 of which we had reduced to 365,000 with cash down payment.

    We had paid cash for all the land improvements, sewer, electric and phone lines, well and tanks. But they wouldn't approve the appraisal value. First it was $25,000 then it was another $25,000 then 75,000 again and again we took money out of our 401k to get the loan approved, each time they said it was approved then it wasn't. Meanwhile our original 5 year loan was up and going into foreclosure. Finally after 8 months of reducing our retirement accounts to nothing our loan was finalized in January 2012. Relief and joy only till the next day when we went to file our taxes for 2011.

    All the fees and loan charges were paid in 2011, not to mention the fines and interest on the 401k withdrawals, but we couldn't claim them till 2012, so our income from the withdrawals were taxed without being able to use the offsets for the fees charged by Wells Fargo. Now there are government subsidies and such for those that lost their house during this period. We hung onto our home protecting our investment while losing our retirement and there seems to be no reimbursement or anything for us, and our property value is still half the amount of cash invested into the property while our loan is still 211,000. Wells Fargo knew what was going on but only led us to believe that our loan would go through week after week, month after month for over 6 months. Is there any way to get justice for this???

    I have two mortgages that were originally with a different mortgage company. With no input from me, and against my wishes as I believe Wells Fargo is a dishonest company and lies to their customers. My mortgages were 'bought' by Wells Fargo and I now have to deal with Wells Fargo on my mortgages. I had no choice in this. All went well for the past 10 months as I paid my mortgages via an online transfer from a checking account with another bank. All of a sudden, Wells Fargo 'lost' the account information from my other bank. I had to re-input the account information in order to make my most-recent mortgage payments. Somehow, Wells Fargo was unable to process these payments, even though my mortgage accounts with Wells Fargo showed the payments as being made (and balances reduced accordingly).

    I called and spoke to a Wells Fargo supervisor - who repeatedly lied to me about the problem that Wells Fargo initiated and caused. I believe they had a system problem (again!!) and are trying to cover it up (and not being truthful about it). Who knows what damage their incompetence will cause me down the line. I fear that the mortgage payments I made recently will now be deemed 'late' by Wells Fargo in order to charge me a late fee and/or to damage my credit report. NOBODY should EVER do business with this company. They are dishonest, incompetent, not forthcoming, and DO NOT give a darn about their customers.

I got approved twice by “Keep Your Home California” and Wells Fargo refused to accept their offer of payment on my behalf.

    It was not until the delinquency on my mortgage account got unmanageable (including interest) DID Wells Fargo get busy trying to "foreclose" on my home. Wells Fargo has exercised every deceptive scheme known in the industry to try to steal my property. I had to file bankruptcy to stave them off. They still have not ceased or desisted their harassment and intimidation of me. I pay my monthly mortgage bill each month at one of its banking facilities and I always discuss the required payment amount with the teller. The teller always asked where DID I want the excess amount of the payment credited. This went on until I had $6000 in surplus on my mortgage statement. I then stopped paying the excess over what I was told the monthly billing was by their representative.

    I am now being told that I am $6000, plus behind, because the teller is allegedly working off data from 2015 (3 years ago). I have submitted copies of all payments to my attorney and a copy of the online payment history Wells Fargo generates and provides me. I never requested a mortgage from Wells Fargo. Like so many others my loan was sold to them by World Savings/Wachovia.

    I certainly would strenuously discourage anyone from initiating a mortgage loan with Wells Fargo. This lender makes life extremely difficult here on earth. Many of my senior friends have been forced to sell their homes of many years to avoid foreclosure sales prompted by this predatory lender. I understand that I have been forced into a new 30 year mortgage with an interest rate of 6.4 per cent. I had half this period left to pay on the loan Wells Fargo purchased with a much lower interest rate.

    Wells Fargo home equity: Where do I begin. So much fraud and cover up. Everyone we turned to they lied. Gave false financial information so we could not get. This was their way of stopping and keeping hidden what they did to a Senior citizen. Most disturbing when two of their employees high fived and celebrated the loss of my home while some nut job ran and you lost. It was so sickening. I sat on a park bench and sob. They told Senator Booker 2 men went over reason for not getting modification. These animals never uttered one word. I get a letter only one man present and he went over reason for denial.

    I have called Wells Fargo today after mailing my mortgage payment on August 30. Two weeks later it still was not posted. I spoke with the representative today Tabitha who recorded the conversation and they said that when it goes to the post office the post office is supposed to scan the code on the envelope. If they don’t scan it in the mortgage company has no verification that you sent the payment even though they enclose a self-addressed envelope for you to send your payment. Made no sense. She told me that she spoke with her supervisor and the supervisor said to contact the post office to make sure that they were scanning the envelope. How was it possible that I can do that when I don’t mail the mortgage payment right from the post office.

    I told them it’s not my Responsibility to monitor the post office for Wells Fargo. What they were saying made absolutely no sense to me. This is the second time this has happened and I have to end up putting a stop payment on the check incurring a $35 fee and then re-send in my payment via email. To me this is a deceitful practice. When I mail my payment in a self closed envelope with the PO Box it should be mailed directly to them and have nothing to do with the post office scanning in the envelope to notified Wells Fargo that I mailed my payment. I am fortunate that I get to check my balance in my bank account regularly to check to see if my checks have cleared. If not I would be put into default for late payments and affect my credit report.

    To me this is a very deceptive practice in one that needs to be addressed with Wells Fargo. I would look to be change my mortgage broker company. Shame on them. The supervisor then said that if there was a problem with that then I should be bank of my payments online. Perhaps I don’t want to make my payments online. They also said that they haven’t received a skiing in the last year from the post office that I’ve been sending in my payments although they have all the payments posted so it didn’t make sense at all. Beware.

    I have two loans, one my home and a rental which originated with World Savings, then was sold to Wachovia, then Wells Fargo. I was making payments (on time) to Wachovia when Wells Fargo said the payments were not found and I was going into foreclosure. I made up the payments but WF reported on my credit so it will show late payments for years plus the mortgages are duplicated on my credit report. I have contacted the credit bureaus but they say Wells Fargo has to fix it.

    No matter how many phone calls I make to get this cleared up or why my terms of my original loans are no longer valid, I get a dropped call with that person not calling back or the call is transferred to a supervisor who also "drops" the call. Yesterday I called the WFHM 9 times. Each time I actually got though the telephone tree I would end up with a different person. I would ask, "Please take my phone number and call me back if this call gets disconnected" so I don't have to start with a new person. Of course that didn't work.

    I finally went to the local WF branch and they sent me to another location in town. I met with a WFHM advisor who said my loan was past the 15 year time frame for only adjusting annually so it would be adjusting up every month. I asked what happened to the original mortgage called "pick a Pay" where I had the option to pay for 15 year, a 30 year, or interest only. He called someone who was supposed to call back. I waited 45 minutes in his office for that call. In chatting while waiting he suggested I refinance. I told him I would not qualify since I am now retired with lower income and then he asked if I was "sitting on a pile of money". I told him I have about $300.00 in the WF checking.

    Finally the phone call came only to say the call had been directed to another person (supervisor) and that person was not going to call back right away. The guy in the office said I should leave and he would call me the next day at 2:30pm to give me the information. Of course he didn't call even to say they were still researching so I'll need to start the process all over again next week. In the meantime, my mortgage rates will escalate from 3.125 to 12% tied to LIBOR while WF is (supposedly) reviewing my original loans to see why the terms were changed by WF.

    My 2nd home loan of several yrs was bought by Wells Fargo. Each yr I would get notice from Wells that they didn't get proof of insurance & adding. I contacted my insurance & they were listed. Faxed to them & sent copy. Still notice adding to loan, finally many phone calls, faxing in & mailing several times able to get notices stopped & confirm they have the proof. This went on for yrs - each yr I would fax, mail & attach to payment coupon, plus insurance sending and I still got notice of no proof. Just got used to them being ignorant.

    Then... When Wells 1st bought my 2nd home loan my ex-husband was listed on statements. I called them asking why is my ex back on my statements as my 2004 divorce court order he is removed & I am making the payments. I sent the other bank all that was needed to remove him & they did. Wells told me they don't recognize court orders so he is on contract so on the loan but they will note the account that the loan is my responsibility & I am paying the loan. Then when my ex filed bankrupt in 2016 as Wells Fargo was reporting my loan on his credit report so he included in his bankrupt. Wells then turned off my direct payments & refuse my payments because of my ex, Wells said if I want to keep the loan & pay on it I had to sign reconcile after bankrupt forms & they will be changing my interest rate to some crazy amount that would make my payment so high I would not be able to afford.

    I was not the one that filed bankrupt so why should I be penalized & he was suppose to be removed. I quickly found mortgage company to refinance to get away from Wells Fargo. Bad news my refinanced loan recently was sold & bought by Wells Fargo again- I am so stressed as I have already had issue with setting up direct payments, took me 3 months to get it done. Stay away from Wells Fargo.

    I have been a customer of Wells Fargo bank for about 6 years. I have an equity line of credit. I have never been late or missed one payment for the entire period. They had permission to take out the payment plus an additional $150.00 each month. The total amount deducted was approximately $425.00. On April 04, 2018 they took out $1026.29 from my checking account. I immediately called their 800 number and was told that they had no idea as to why this happened. They told me that they will research it and I should have an answer in 2 to 3 days. I told them that was not acceptable and demanded that I be contacted within 24 hours. The Wells Fargo representative told me that it this issue would be immediately placed on the top of the researcher's priority list.

    On April 6th, I still had not been contacted. I called Wells Fargo back and they forwarded me to their "Executive" department. I spoke to Nick ** for almost an hour. He said that he was also puzzled as to why this happened. However, he failed to remedy the problem. He said that this will be researched and he would call me back ASAP.

    On April 10th, I called Wells Fargo back and talked again to Mr. **. Mr. ** told me (again) that he didn't know why this had happened but they are continuing to research it. I told him that this was unacceptable. I have other bills to pay with money that was ILLEGALLY removed from my bank account. He must have told me ten times, "I cannot tell you why this happened". I found this wording extremely suspicious. I asked him, "Does that mean that you don't know, or does it mean that somebody told you that you can’t tell me?" He repeated the phrase again and again. "I can’t tell you why."

    I contacted another Wells Fargo representative on April 17th. She gave me the same answer that Nick ** gave me. "It was being researched and it normally takes five to seven days".

    My experience with Wells Fargo has been an absolute nightmare. I applied for disaster relief in September 2017, right after Hurricane Harvey, and was told no problem--we had 90 days of disaster relief. I told my renter he didn't have to pay me during that time either. After the 90 days were up, WF called me up and told me I owed them the full $3500 that had been building up over the last 90 days of "relief." What a joke! So WF's "relief" basically consists of just not reporting you to the credit bureau while you are recovering from a disaster. Not only have they screwed me over now, they've put me in the difficult position of now going back and telling my renter, "never mind, I need that money from you after all."

    I went through a VERY lengthy process trying to reverse this decision, paperwork upon more paperwork, resubmitting things, and they always wanted one more document, one more bank statement, one more intrusion into my finances, as if they needed to know every little detail about my financial life to give me a couple of months relief on my mortgage. Absolutely horrible. I will never work with Wells Fargo again, or encourage any of my friends too. They are crooks, taking advantage of the fact that most folks won't do anything about it and just end up coughing up the dough one way or another.

    I had foreign gifts from my mother and sister to help with the downpayment. I mentioned this to Wells even before the process started and they mentioned it would be fine. The first 3 weeks of the 30 day escrow closing period went by without a hitch, they did not ask for anything. Suddenly the last week of escrow Wells started requesting bank statements from foreign accounts. I provided them with 1 day turnaround knowing we are getting close to the close date. Then they asked for more statements and clarifications after a few days. Had to file for extension for a week and they could not make the deadline even then with their late document requests. I was afraid the seller would back out any time and I would lose my 3% deposit (~$22,000).

    Eventually Wells took 2.5 weeks beyond the 30 day close period, to approve the loan. In the end Wells transferred me to a loan with a higher interest rate than what was promised originally as well as increased my down payment from 20% to 25%. I asked them to cover the seller's PITI since it was their fault for the delay (requesting documents last minute when they could have started this process the first week of escrow), but they refused to do so. I had put in my notice for the rental place and had to vacate before I could move into my place I bought. I had to pay for movers twice, once to take all my stuff from rental to storage, and then from storage to new place. I had to crash on a friend's couch for 2.5 weeks while waiting for Wells to approve my loan. I would highly not recommend a bank that is slow on due diligence and not willing to accept responsibility for their own mistakes!

    Hurricane Irma relief program was a lie. They said that payments would be "postponed for 90" day (three payment) "without consequences". No delinquencies or negative credit reports. That was a huge help considering that I needed a new roof after the hurricane and my homeowner's insurance dropped me just days after the event and denied the roof damage claim. Once the 90 days passed I went in to make my regular payment but was told that my mortgage was in default and I was offered to either pay the entire delinquency or be put into an assistance program. That is the same place they send you when you are facing foreclosure. That is also the time that you get a delinquency report on your credit.

    I requested pre-approval for a $400,000 new construction home with 20% down. All along the mortgage process I kept telling the agent that the cost of the house would go up about $10,000 due to options we were adding, but that in the end the mortgage should be 10% of the TOTAL final cost. They said no problem, as long as I get the final price to them at least 1 month prior to closing so they can adjust the paperwork. Throughout the entire process everything they asked for was provided to them well before the required date.

    Wells Fargo finally sent me the disclosure document at 6:00 PM three days prior to closing, and they didn't adjust the final mortgage to 20% of the total cost - they'd stayed with the original estimate and told me I needed to bring an additional $11,000+ to the closing! Technically they met their federally mandated requirement to provide the disclosure 3 days before closing, but since it was really after 5:00 eastern time, and certainly not 72 hours prior to my closing, I believe they missed the date. Because they have this requirement the only way to correct it was to change my closing date. So I get to pay for hotel rooms for a few days or weeks while they fix their issues. I'd asked them if I could continue with the closing and if they could immediately do a refinance to get it down to the proper mortgage price. They said they'd look into that, but ultimately - over a month later - said no. Then my attorney never received the closing documents.

    I started calling Wells Fargo at 5:00 PM the night before our scheduled closing and finally got someone to answer a call when I reached the Senior VP of Mortgages administrator. My attorney finally received the documents at 6:30 that night, and the next day we found out the names were wrong on the documents. We waited at the closing another hour for them to resend them 2-3 times before they got it right. Every single thing Wells Fargo did was at the last possible moment, and every single thing was done wrong. Every single thing. Without exception. I received a call back from their "Executive Resolution Specialist - Kelli **. She said she'd look into the issue and get back to me. I finally received a letter dated 2/26 - and even THAT was sent on the last possible date she had committed to send it.

    She said that Wells Fargo had done nothing wrong, and that "As you chose to move forward with the loan as it was presented to you with the original loan amount, we respectfully deny your request for a no cost refinance at the original 80% amount of purchase price." Seriously - How many weeks would I have been paying for a hotel if I waited for Wells Fargo to fix this? So Wells Fargo chose to lose a customer of 30 years rather than correct a problem that they created. I am in the process of closing all my accounts with Wells Fargo. Thankfully they sold the mortgage to Fannie May, so I can leave that alone. Do yourself a favor - avoid Wells Fargo at all costs.

The letter further mentioned that if the payments are automatically withdrawn, I should be able to cancel or suspend those payments. I was asked to contact their Disaster Relief department 800 number.

    Upon contacting the said department, I was asked to go through a Loan relief assistance process. Contrary to the offer mentioned in the above letter, they sent me a denial letter and suggest that I should go through a short sale process. I have stopped payments only due to banks repeated over the phone acceptance that it is OK to stop payments until a decision is made. I am now behind with over 90 days payments. I am very disappointed with Wells Fargo as it is very clear that they are misguiding their customers where something is offered and asking to qualify and then deny.

    We had our first Mortgage (1/2001) with Washington Mutual and also carried a Life Insurance policy on the loan, in 11/2005 my Husband suddenly became ill and at the time was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his brain and after his passing in 4/2006 I contacted Washington Mutual and they advised that there was no such policy, alright I requested a repayment plan for which there was an agreement? I called to make a payment. They advised that my defaulted mortgage was purchased by Washington Mutual and I needed to get in touch with them at which time I called them and was advised "they could not speak with regards to the mortgage because I didn't have a power of attorney" at which time I was perplexed and asked what do I need that for and they advised that I needed to prove myself to be his heir! Alright I'll do that and how do I accomplish that?

    I needed to go to the Courthouse with my husband and prove that I was entitled to his assets, what being married for 26 years didn't mean anything!! Wells Fargo mortgage proceeded to advise myself at this time that they could no longer have any conversation with regards to the Mortgage and they were going to begin with the foreclosure process as of 10/2006!!! Our children and myself had to vacate the premises as of 11/2006, needless to say I've been homeless on and off since that time! We purchased our new house for $96,900. They sold for $180,600 and on the record it shows that the amount sold went into and out of my name three times??? Robbery...

    With Hurricane Irma...Wells Fargo called about help with mortgage since we lived in a FEMA declared disaster!!! I was told by their rep Patricia that Wells Fargo wanted to help and that for the months of Oct, Nov, and Dec...my payment would be deferred to the end of our contract!!! On Jan 1st we go back to paying our regular mortgage... Happy Holidays. I cried as it would help us out since insurance money was not enough to fix our roof and small things that needed to get repaired. We could fix our home!!

    Guess what in December... about the 10th I get a call saying the three months missed needed to be paid. I told them what was said and they said that they said it would be due on the 1st all three months. Of course I do not have it...I live on Social Security. They gave me until Feb. to come up with $3902.64 as they have already sent papers for foreclosure and sent me paperwork to save my house!! I want away from them and have been asking everyone for a loan (my daughter and I can pay back the money). In July we want to refinance with a Credit Union... just have to get Credit Cards back down (used for repairs) and credit score up!! I am 70 years old and so upset writing this. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PEOPLE DO NOT USE WELLS FARGO. Ours was sold to them from another small broker. Never knew until it was done!!

    I received terrible experience doing business with this bank. First, they are extremely slow. Every single piece of info takes weeks to process on the part of the underwriter. I spent two months collecting papers for them and was approved for a loan. I found a house and put a bid, but they changed their mind and told me that I cannot use the money I was saving for 5 years for the downpayment because the source of these funds cannot be verified. I submitted statements for 3 years, but they told me that my savings go too much back in time. I was saving for 5 years. They told me that I was supposed to save the whole downpayment in one year to be countable. How is it possible? It does not make sense. I had to cancel a deal.

    We recently sold our home. The couple buying our home used Wells Fargo as their lender. We signed all the paperwork first thing in the morning. The contract said the loan would be funded by 5:00 p.m. Wells Fargo neglected to transfer the money. This normally wouldn't be a huge problem, but the following day was the first day of a three day holiday weekend. Since we had already vacated the house with the expectation that the buyers would move in we were unable to close on our loan until Monday. This left us basically homeless until three days later. We had three days additional moving expenses totaling $600. Wells Fargo admitted that they failed to transfer the money but refused to reimburse our additional costs. Be aware that Wells Fargo does not take responsibility for their mistakes. There are plenty of reputable banks out there. Choose one that truly cares about their customers.

    We attempted to pay off our mortgage balance today at a local branch today. Our first shock was being told they cannot accept payoffs at the branch offices, payment MUST be sent overnight or through wire transfer to a department in Iowa (at our added expense) AND we must give them a request for payoff to process in 4 business days. Even the branch managers were shocked to hear this information over the phone from their Iowa offices. They both tried to reason with the person on the phone (and his manager) but we ended up walking out with nothing more than apologies.

    Of course, we are forced to request a new payoff in 4 business days so now we are looking at ADDITIONAL INTEREST for today, SAT, SUN and 4 days next week = another 7 days profit for Wells Fargo. What should have been a wonderful, happy experience has now become ANOTHER slap in the face from this horrible institution. I cannot express how much I dislike using this disgusting business who continues to prey on their customers. I will spend the "next 4 business days" spreading as much bad publicity as possible through social media, word of mouth and calls to the local tv stations.

    I obtained my mortgage with a local lender. The lender sold my mortgage to Wells Fargo. I had issues during refinancing and have been fighting WFHM since 2016. I have requested information and am repeatedly told that I would need a subpoena to get that information released. I am asking for information about my own mortgage, and they won't share it with me. They treat veterans like garbage. They have a history of fraud and are rewarded for lying to you. I would refinance to get away from them except my mortgage could be sold again. The consumer should have the right to reject the selling of their mortgage to shady corporations. WFHM just agreed to pay $50 million for their unlawful business practices. They won't address the bigger issues until they get caught.

    I got behind in my mortgage and Wells Fargo was starting foreclosure. I called to make arrangements to get back on track. I was told so many different stories of how much I owed. I contacted their home preservation dept (it's a joke). Prior to contacting them I was told that they would do a reinstatement and I had to come up with the money by 10/25. I called to see where to send it and was told that I owed a $1000.00. So I was able to get that and when I called again I was told that it went up to $5300.00 due to document fees of 1100.00. But I found this out the day of the 25th. I asked if I could pay the 1100.00 on the 26th. They said no. I sent the check anyways and when I called to see if they cashed the check they told me no. That they were sending it back due to it wasn't the right amount. Soooo. Home preservation came in and said I was approved for the repayment plan.

    I accepted it and was told by Susan ** that the 5300.00 check would be returned. Well I still haven't got that check back. I made my first payment and then have gotten 3 different statements this month saying I owe 1800.00 (payments). I told the girl that I was on the plan and I was to get the check back. The check was being held as unapplied funds. So now I'm going to the top. Every time I call I get different answers from different people. I have had it. It's like they want me to lose my home so I am going to CORPORATE and the news media. I have read too many problems with this bank that it's unfair that they jerks us around and we cannot do anything to stop them. Hopefully an attorney would want to take this on pro bono. We all need to be the squeaky wheel and not take this from this crooked bank.

    My father is 78 years old, he has been paying $511.00 in mortgage payments to Wells Fargo since 1987. The loan will not be paid off until sometime after 2025. My issue is the house he purchased cost only $39,000. It's a two bedroom ranch with a one car garage, no basement. I've calculated that he has paid or will pay over $183,960. Unbelievable right! My dad is an elderly proud man with very little education; and for these reasons I feel he is being taken advantage of. We have talk to someone at Wells Fargo who stated that they would do a mortgage audit. Please help me get some true results for him. There is no way he should be paying over $183,960 for a $39,000 house. He has never been late on a payment, the mortgage payments have been coming out of his account like clockwork, he has not taken out a 2nd mortgage loan on the house. Please advise us of what to do next.

    I have opened, signed all paperwork related to home equity application in Aug 2017. We have done signing and sign and docs were notarized at local branch. After two months, I tried to access account online but I could not find my new account so I thought it is just online issue. After few days, I spoke to mortgage officer who put all application and help facilitate application process. He told me after few days that bank has made mistake and after signing papers were supposed to go some processing center but it went to different processing center so nothing could be done, other than you need to restart application process again. So my question is, if bank dept or employee has made mistake why I need to again start process again. Process is complicated and consumes lots of your time and energy. I want to know, if there any email address where I can sent complaint.

    We have been Wells Fargo customers for over 12 years. We currently have a VA mortgage loan through Wells Fargo, and every year they tell us that they are short on funds as the homeowners insurance has gone up or our taxes have gone up. Some logic to that. My wife and I are both 70 + years old. Our income is almost entirely from Social Security. Having mortgage payments going up every year is difficult, but this year, going into 2018, that increase given by Wells Fargo is an immediate $309 dollars plus an increase to our mortgage payment every month of 42 dollars a month. This is a lot of money, that we simply do not have and while I have been in touch with Wells Fargo on this issue, they insist that their figures are correct.

    Our homeowners insurance has gone up to $626 a month and taxes are around $2860 a year. How can they be that short on funds that we have paid month after month and while there have been $12 to $20 dollar monthly increases in the past ten years, never to the amount as they are claiming this year. We have no money to fight this. Their solution is, to name a few ideas, refinancing our home, or a short sale of the property. Seems to us that what Wells Fargo wants is to eliminate us as their customers. To go any further into debt, their suggestions would not have any help in this matter. As it is, we do have the home for sale, as we can no longer afford to maintain it. What can we possibly do here? Thank You.

    This week I visited my local branch of Wells-Fargo to make a substantial payment on the principal of my home mortgage. I had received a check from a major US insurance company that I was going to cash to facilitate this payment. I desired to make the payment and receive a little over $2,000 in proceeds from the check that was over the amount I wanted to pay on my mortgage. They refused to cash the check because I do not have a checking account or a savings account with Wells-Fargo, only my mortgage account. When I questioned "Why?", a manager who obviously was nearby that I had not noticed, came rushing over to explain that Wells-Fargo rules do not permit cashing a check in this case that was over the amount I wished to pay on my mortgage even though the amount I wanted to pay the bank was substantially more than the amount I would receive back.

    This makes absolutely no sense to me. My experience at Wells-Fargo is that they are all smiles and cheerful until you ask to cash a check. Previously, I had asked to cash a US Department of Treasury check at the time I was making my monthly mortgage payment. They refused to cash the check that time as well. The total US Government check was a whopping $13.49. Wow! I am not a banker nor do I know all the "rules" of banking but this check cashing policy seems extremely ridiculous to me.

    I will put in a plug for Credit Unions here. I traveled a quarter of a mile down the street to a local Credit Union branch and they were more than happy to cash the Government check for $13.49. They were extremely nice and never questioned the check. Guess where I now have an account for saving and checking? The Credit Union of course! By the way, the money I was going to pay on my mortgage is now in my Credit Union savings account.

    With all the news about Wells-Fargo lately and their shady business practices along with what I consider extremely poor customer service, maybe everyone should consider doing their banking at either a local Credit Union or at least another bank. I highly recommend you doing so. I also have an account with a large regional bank and they do much better with customer service than Wells-Fargo although not as good as the Credit Union. One final note. I did not get my mortgage from Wells-Fargo but from another regional bank, because of their low interest rate, who then "sold" the loan to Wells-Fargo. I am not well pleased with this banking practice either.

    We have owned our home for 23 years in Colorado Springs, CO. We were in a loan modification and had completed all paperwork necessary for a modification. We had several deaths in our immediate family, Loss of Business, A Son with Medical issues related to seizures along with additional financial concerns. We were sent correspondence concerning our loan modification. Over 6 letters but 2 that stated there would be the official decision made by 11/13 and then another said 12/05. But, we would receive an answer as it was in the pipeline and was being fully researched for any options we might have available including selling our home or placing the arrears to the back of my loan. Then on November 16 2017 we received a FedEx Letter from Premiere Asset Services Group A Division of WF.

    Addressed to: Dear Occupant. I called the realtor assigned to me and asked why he was involved? He told me I no longer am the owner of my property. I called and verified this information with the Court. My house was sold on November 8, 2017. I had never received a letter from Wells Fargo or anyone from Home Preservation. I then contacted them and they didn't even realize what had happened. They said there were expecting to have me an answer within days. They had no idea this had taken place.

    So I contacted "The Reinstatement Program" NY a loan modification company working to resolve my case to see what actions I could take. He was caught off-guard and completely unaware of my home selling. He informed me we need to continue paying mortgage payments through them as my Broker of Good Will. I guess he thought I'd feel comfortable with this arrangement since I no longer owned the property. He was right. I didn't feel comfortable and thought he should have advised me of the sale date. I believe they just move files around the desk and some end up in the trash. They do the basic paperwork anyone can do with a little understanding. There is fraud on both fronts and it's a $$$ Pit & Racket...

    I reached out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and filed a complaint on Wells Fargo this past Wed. the 6th. Wells Fargo contacted me today from the Consumer Affairs Division and told me they once again were researching my complaint but couldn't promise me a good outcome. Well for now we may be safe but eviction is around the corner. I'm 63, wife 62 and our 19 yr old who has had disabling seizure activity for the past 7 years. We would like to know if there is anything else we can do or an Government agency without calling the Trump White House to get anything done. I know there is never a good time to lose your home. Please let me know if anyone has an answer to my situation.

    This was the worst experience I had ever been through! Please I want to warn people to please not go through Wells Fargo for any business. They are unethical and go back on their statements. I was refinancing a mortgage loan for 340,000. My house appraised for 640,000. I have a single family home located on a 4.75 ac lot. I went through city planning and got the .75 ac lot to be able to subdivide in the future. The process is not completed and was not going to be completed through me. Just wanted to have that option before city changed zoning.

    Well Wells Fargo denied me the loan stating my property wasn't being used to most efficient value. That they couldn't loan to me because they would not be able to resale loan? My single family house is located on 4.75 ac!! Not subdivided. Can't be subdivided as is as now. But Wells Fargo said it's a unsaleable loan because my 4.75 ac lot can be subdivided in the future if someone wanted to finish the development process. Seriously it makes no sense!! My property is worth triple of what my loan amount was for. Please don't go through Wells Fargo. Then they wouldn't show me the appraisal I paid 525.00 for. Won't give it to me and haven't reimbursed me my appraisal fee. That they advertise, "If we for any reason don't loan to you. We will reimburse your appraisal fee."

I honestly could not get anyone to help me. So eventually I lost my house and wells Fargo could care less. I did have a company call me and tell me that I had legit reasons to sue Wells Fargo... but I had to come up with some ungodly amount of money to get the ball rolling... I told the other company that if I had that much money sitting around I would not have lost my house...

    Our current mortgage is with Wells Fargo and apart from applying an impound check incorrectly, their accuracy and service has been excellent. When you call customer service, you get a live person who can be relied upon to address your concerns appropriately and cheerfully. I rated "value" and "options" as neutral because we were only interested in a 30 yr fixed, and I can't remember what they charged us in points. No complaints from us but, and it's a big but, Wells Fargo is getting some really bad press resulting from all their lying and cheating employees so the jury is out if I would consider them again in the future.
