Consumer Narrative
In 2017 a credit card was opened fraudulently in my name with Wells Fargo. When I finally realized this account, it was completely maxed out and reporting as a charged off account. This was and still is hurting my credit score with all 3 major credit bureaus. I have been disputing this account with Wells Fargo since then with no luck even with a police report that I provided to them and added to my credit file with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX as well as a fraud alert for future security so that creditors and I can make sure that it is in fact me applying for credit. Recently, I opened a credit card financed thru Wells Fargo, went thru the verification process identifying myself with security questions and was approved. One month after, I tried using that card and was declined. When I called to ask why my card was not working, a rep told me that my card was completely closed due to identity theft. After being transferred to over 5 different people, I was told that this card was opened fraudulently and they would not reopen this account. I explained what happened to me in 2017 when an account was actually opened fraudulently and this was a mistake because I went thru the steps to identity myself to attain this card. Wells Fargo said there was nothing they could do but now I am blocked from ever getting approved financed from them going forward. The actual fraudulent credit card is still reporting negatively. They closed a legitimate card for no reason however kept reporting the fraudulent card. I have had a mortgage account in excellent status for over 12 years and was a part of the class action suit Wells Fargo was involved in regarding their employees opening fake accounts so this is unbelievable to me. Remove this account immediately from my credit file!
