Consumer Narrative
I went out of town on XX/XX/XXXX and i lost my card before I left town. My pin number was written on my debit card due to the fact of me having hard time remembering my pin numbers as I have a few. After getting back to town on XX/XX/2022, I realized there were unauthorized withdrawals from my checking account and I realized I do not have my card. After contacting wells fargo bank to inform about what happened and filing a dispute, I was provided a claim number # XXXX. After a week or two wells fargo sends the decision of the claim being denied due to the fact that the pin number was used therefore the transactions are valid or were made with my permission. After calling wells fargo back and talking to a few representatives, one of the representatives reopened the claim stating that in the original claim it was stated that I was in possession of my card, which I clearly stated that I was not during the filing of the original claim. Another claim was reopened to further investigate the matter. the new claim number was # XXXX. After their investigation into this matter again, I received a letter stating the same thing that since the pin number was used then the transactions were valid. There were 4 different transactions ( withdrawals ) totaling to {$3900.00}. I have also sent my reservation itinerary to wells fargo claims department showing that I was checked into XXXX XXXX and Casino in XXXX XXXX and I also sent them the receipts of the rides I took using the XXXX XXXX XXXX while I was in XXXX XXXX to get from one hotel to the other. I have exhausted all logical means of trying to reason with Wells Fargo bank but all have been in vein. I state again that I have lost my debit card probably at the gas station when I was pumping gas to get on the road to XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX, and my pin number was written on my debit card due to my poor memory. I have previously tried to get the issue resolved and filed a complaint but the company did not resolve the issue. previous complaint number is XXXX
