Consumer Narrative
I received a remediation check from Wells Fargo issued to myself and another individual with whom I no longer have contact. I am an active Wells Fargo account holder and urgently need access to these funds. When I contacted Wells Fargo, I was informed that they would attempt to contact the other payee and if no response is received within 30 days, they would then reissue the check solely to me. This delay is unreasonable, causes financial hardship, and no adequate alternative was provided despite my active account status. I believe Wells Fargo should have internal processes to resolve situations like this more promptly, and I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in intervening to expedite the reissuance or allow me to deposit the check.
