Consumer Narrative
I was laid off due to Covid-19 and was having troubles making payments. I also kept experiencing unauthorized charges and fees from Wells Fargo during this time which made it even harder to make payments. I called about the unauthorized charges and they closed the account so we could start the pay to delete process since I was laid off and unable to make payments. When making my last payment I spoke to the representative and he advised within 60 days the account would be removed from my credit. When I contacted them recently to get an update they advised that I needed to contact the credit agencies. This is not what I was told. They are not fulfilling their promise that if I pay off the account it would be removed. Also, due to me being laid off according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, section ( F ) Reporting information during COVID19 pandemic this should have not been reported on my credit. Wells Fargo has already agreed that they charged me unnecessary fees because I am still getting refunds from this company.
