Jason is a good consumer, and so he made sure to read through a notice from his bank, Wells Fargo, about changes to his consumer agreement. And it's a good thing he did read it, because in it, they informed him he'll no longer be able to take them to court. More »
Wells Fargo Tries To Predict The Future, Sucks At It

A few months before her wedding, Megan bought her bridesmaids' dresses at J. Crew, and opened a store credit card account to get 20% off. She scheduled a payment through her bank, Wells Fargo, to pay off the balance, then panicked weeks later when she saw a large chunk of money leaving her bank account that she didn't remember authorizing. She called to cancel, remembered what the payment was for, then canceled the cancellation. This led Wells Fargo's fraud-flagging systems to believe that the next time Megan opened a store credit card and paid the bill, they should just go ahead and cancel the payment. More »

Wells Fargo Does CD Paperwork For Wrong State; It's Your Problem

Earlier this year, Ken's father passed away. He had been investing in certificates of deposit for decades, and had set up each CD with one of his sons as beneficiary, so that accessing or re-investing the money would be simple...or as simple as any transaction with a megabank ever is. Out of all of the CDs, the only problem was one at Wells Fargo. Since the beneficiary information was missing from their computer systems, they needed the original receipt from when the account was opened. Ken's dad was originally issued the wrong type of receipt for the state he lived in, so there was no proof that Ken was the beneficiary for the account. Now he needs a court order to get to the account. More »

Matthew has spent 23 years as a customer of a bank that was eventually gobbled up by Wells Fargo. Finally tired of the bank's shenanigans, he moved his personal checking account to a local credit union. What he didn't count on was that Wells Fargo didn't want to let him go, and would stop at nothing to get his attention. Even overdrafting his account instead of declining transactions. More »

You Have To Call Up Wells Fargo To Ask For Your Extra Payment To Be Applied To The Late Fee

Keith just found out the hard way that if you try to pay off your late fee with Wells Fargo, you can't just add it on to the regular payment. You have to call them up and tell them where to apply it. More »

While it might make sense for lenders would go after homeowners who can pay their mortgage but choose not to, what about those people who missed payments because they were out of work but are now trying to make good on their debt? More »
