Wells Fargo

May 25, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. was the first time I entered a Wells Fargo branch since 2020. At my visit to branch #72437-20 in Anaheim, CA, I found out that my ATM card was expired, I requested from the employee at the window to order my replacement card. The employee requested help from the BRANCH MANAGER, who, after looking at my account, told me that he cannot order the ATM card from his computer and that in order for me to order a new card, I MUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND SIT WITH A BANKER. He then proceeded to tell me that no appointments are available soon, but he can put me on a waiting list and get me to meet a banker faster than making an appointment. which I found it ODD because i have been with Wells Fargo for more than 35 years. Usually, they want you to sit with a banker to try to convince you to open more accounts that you do not need and to make investments that profit the bankers. I WANT TO KNOW: 1- WHY DID THE MANAGER AT THE BRANCH TELL ME THAT I NEEDED AN APPOINTMENT TO SIT WITH A BANKER JUST TO RENEW MY TELLER MACHINE CARD? It must be a hidden reason that benefits the banker. 2- DOES THIS MANAGER THINK I AM STUPID TO TELL ME THAT HE CANNOT RENEW MY ATM CARD ON HIS COMPUTER? 3- HOW COME WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE OF THE BRANCH AND CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE RENEWED MY ATM CARD IN 30 SECOND PHONE CALL? 4- WHY DOES THE MANAGER OF THE BRANCH HAVE NO EXPERIENCE AND NOT KNOW HOW TO RENEW AN ATMCARD? 5- IS WELLS FARGO HIRING MANAGERS FOR THE BRANCHES WITH NO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR TO THE ONE WHO JUST ANSWERED MY COMPLAINT AND THE ONE WHO TOLD ME HE CANNOT RENEW MY ATM CARD ON HIS COMPUTER? 6- WHY IS WELLS FARGO REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE THIS POSSIBLE MISCONDUCT? I am not getting answers to my questions because Wells Fargo contracted the customer service to a 3rd party company called ENTERPRISE COMPLAINTS MANAGEMENT OFFICE (ECMO). This company ECMO employees are without any banking experience to resolve the customer's issues, Those employees are labeled ECMOs.Working from the comfort of their homes without any supervision and not under the Wells fargo management they are independent contractors. The ECMOs working from the comfort of their home Refused to address my complaint properly and they switch the case from a complaint against the MANAGER to a complaint against the window teller which I am not complaining about. Those Employees of the contractors ECMO, refused to forward my complaint to a REAL Wells Fargo manager, and refused to investigate. I was told in writing by the Wells Fargo's contractors ECMOs that Wells Fargo has no email or website for online complaints and has no managers or supervisors. For that, Customers like me find no REAL Wells Fargo site to complain but here.

We had to be on them and on them and on them and they still didn't have escrow right at the end but we went with it just to get it done because we were coming up on the end of the 90 day rate lock and no one seemed to care. At all. Brandon R is absolutely awful. Don't even bother if you get him as a loan officer. Worse than useless. I had to do all of the leg work including finding the phone number and names of the title company officers that he selected because he couldn't be bothered. Zero follow up. Lots of talk about how everyone was on a "team". Give me a break.

Wells Fargo is by far the worse mortgage company I have ever dealt with. We applied for a mortgage on May 25 and could never get it closed. By September 10 we were so sick of dealing with them, we finally went with another lender. The new lender got done in seven (yes, 7) days what WF could not do in almost 4 months. WF asked for the same documents repeatedly. They asked for documents on Friday at 4:50 and our loan was scheduled to close that following Monday. WF sent us a commitment letter dated August 20 that had an expiration date of August 15. Our first loan processor was so unresponsive we were assigned to another after one month. From the beginning, we made sure our new processor knew the schedule of selling our home and the purchase of the new home. We already had a closing date set, which was not met. In the end, we incurred expenses totaling almost $3,000 due to WF's inability to honor own mortgage request. We asked for reimbursement for these expenses and WF refused. This story goes on and on and on. I had been a customer of WF for almost 40 years, my husband, as well. We have considerable assets, stellar credit scores, no late payments ever, no bounced checks and this is how we were treated. I am in the process of closing all accounts with WF and will never do business with them again. I wish I could give them less than one star. Please think again if you're considering Wells Fargo, they are worse than awful!

I love Wells Fargo because I have never had a bad experience there. Everyone is always smiling and positive, and they are so willing to help in any way you need them to.

Recasting Mortgage. Had to wait a long time (60+ minutes) on hold, due to Covid. Once answered, the person was knowledgeable. Got the information requested. Received packet in mail in a short time. All going well.

During a seemingly easy loan, multiple times Wells Fargo gave me little to NO notice of underwriting changes to my loan. These changes were after deposits would be lost and FORCED me to go along with changes. The main issue was "they" could not understand how I could commute to another state and they refused to make my loan a PRIMARY RESIDENCE.... thus making it a second home loan ( even though I live there). It forced my interest rate up, deposit up, and PMI up...... I would have lost $2500 if I backed out so I was stuck. I WAS BASICALLY EXTORTED FOR MORE MONEY FOR NO REASON. I am in the process of refinancing the loan with a credit union..... as a primary residence !!!!!! DONT USE WELLS FARGO !!!!! EVER !!!!!!!

I have been a Wells Fargo banking customer for many years. Last year, I was interested in purchasing in a new development on an island in the Chesapeake. As I was in the developers' office, a Wells Fargo mortgage rep who was there at the time introduced himself, and to make a long story short, wrote my mortgage, took my money, and smiled alot. Then I lost a new construction contract because my existing home didn't sell within the contingency period. No big deal, right? I got my money back from the developer, no problem. But Wells Fargo kept my $3400 for "lock-in and associated fees". The only thing I ever got back was a Dear Idiot letter from the Wells Fargo rep who explained why I would never see my money again. So fast forward a couple of mortgage applications later. Nobody has since charged me A SINGLE PENNY for an unexecuted closing on a mortgage except for unrecoup'able expenses like an appraisal or an inspection. And no one else including Nationstar and some local regional originators have asked me for $2700 to lock in a rate. Basically, Wells Fargo are pirates and if you choose to do business with them you are dealing with predatory criminals who will take you for whatever money they can shake out of your pockets.

The only reason I'm giving Wells Fargo a 1 star is because I cannot proceed through the rating site with no stars. The home mortgage section is HORRIBLE!!! No communication, lack of customer service and nobody can tell you anything even though they are looking at your file. We apply for a new mortgage (selling our home and trying to purchase another), filled out the paperwork, provide all documents, etc. We get initial contact from the mortgage section congratulating us on the preapproval (per letter) and the employee spoke to us about our loan and process only to get NO customer service from that time forward. We have left messages and e-mails only to get ZERO communication back. You should be ashamed to have people like this represent your organization. We have been loyal customers of Wells Fargo for over 15 years (banking / loans / financing of home and refinancing of home). Needless to say, we are going with a different lender and once all transactions are done we will be closing out all of our accounts with Wells Fargo and taking our money and business elsewhere. Your organization needs much improvement in providing customer service.

We tried to refinance with Wells Fargo. Everything was fine and there were no issues along the way. Three days prior to closing I noticed online that PMI was on our loan. I asked the loan officer about this and he did not know why either. He eventually emailed me stating Wells Fargo did not accept the appraisal (by a 3rd party they hired) and arbitrarily lowered our home value by $60,000 and we were now required to have PMI. We were never told they didn't accept the appraisal and we were never told about the PMI. I honestly think they were trying to sneak it past us and hope we signed and didn't notice. There was nothing wrong with the original appraisal and the value was correct - a licensed appraiser completed it and had 5 comps to support the price. This just seems like more shady practices by Wells Fargo to hide fees from the customer. Even the loan officer stated he has never seen anything like this in the 7 years he's worked there. I don't see how this is legal. Everything was done correctly throughout the process and they arbitrarily change it to their benefit at the end without disclosing it to us??????

My original mortgage was purchased by Wells Fargo 4 years ago and they have been a nightmare to deal with. First off, you get bombarded with offers to refinance, use their banking and sign up for credit card offers but offer nothing in the way of customer service once you are a customer. I requested a PMI evaluation, paid $200 for it and the entire process ended up being a sham. They failed to add 1200 sq ft of livabled and heated living space, a second kitchen and a 4rth bathroom to the appraisal and then reused to re-evaluate once I pointed the errors out in the original report. I called to complain and they could care less, but when I left a bad review on Google, all of a suydden a team of people were contacting me to try and smooth things out. What ajoke of a company.

Seniors Beware Wells Fargo is a joke and don't waste your time. I have been with Wells Fargo for 25 years with significant deposits with 2 previous Home Mortgages. I never missed a payment, never bounced a check and was a very reliable customer. My wife and I found our dream home that we wished to settle in for the rest of our lives and only naturally went to "My Bank" to get a loan and hopefully treated well. In the start, everything looks so promising including favourable rates and loan fees. They accommodated me with a pre-approval (that turned out to be as good as 1 ply toilet paper). Then the loan process started and what looked to be a great online/loan officer system turned out to be as worthless as the 1 Ply! They do not care if you have built significant assets in your lifetime or been a dependable trusted customer for over 25 years. They tease you with rates, get you to spend $675 and then reject you because you don't make enough money. They don't care that you made money your whole life and have cash and assets to back it up. Stay away from this nightmare of a company that their CEO just stepped done because they stink at understanding their customer's needs.

Wells Fargo is a well respected bank that gave me the loan I needed, quickly and at a great rate. They are wonderful and I will be back for my next loan.

They are ok but in 16 years one late payment due to family illness,paid day after grace period.Was charged late fee of$46.00.I called to explain that I do online bill payment adn sent mortgage payment to a utility company in error.I am looking to refinance because this was plain old not nice of Wells Fargo to ding me when I am taking care of a family member with cancer and am very stressed.

At times of financial struggle, "experts" say to be proactive, to contact your lender and work with them. If you're with Wells Fargo, I wouldn't bother. They don't care about their customer. When I was laid off and our family lost 65% of the household income, I contacted WF to discuss my options. After 2 weeks, they offered to temporarily reduce my mortgage by just 2%. They also advised the impact to my credit so I declined their insulting terms and instead requested to stop paying my escrow. They laid out the terms and I met all of them yet they twice declined to remove the escrow, citing the 'repayment plan' that I had declined and had written confirmation that I declined. It took 4 weeks of arguing during an already very stressful financial situation. And only after I took to social media was any action taken. They have now removed the escrow (reducing my monthly expenses by $820 instead of the insulting $60 in their "repayment plan") but the experience has soured my relationship with them. Banks got govt help when they were in trouble but WF made it almost impossible for me when my family needed their help. I am now moving all my financial accounts, including my retirement assets, away from WF as quickly as I can. Wells Fargo has lost a 17 year customer because when I did everything proactively and sought their help, their service was horrible, uncaring and unhelpful. Goodbye WF.

Because I found them to be difficult to work with. Once when the 1st of the month fell on Labor Day weekend they called me because my payment wasn't in by the first. When I told the associate we had signed up for auto pay, and if the money hadnt been withdrawn on time it was their fault he hung up on me and didnt bother to apologize for the mix up. There wers other problems that we had with them but they were too many to list here.

They gave us the most competative rate and provided a seamless transition from construction loan to mortgage. They also provided us with rate breaks on car laons and student loans because we had our mortgage with them.

They are ok and I have no issues outside of the terrible fees. I do have issues with their advertising... sent me a pre-approved letter for an equity loan and actually applied to consolidate some debt. They declined my loan saying I was never really pre-approved. Now that all of the debt is paid, I am going to start shopping for a new bank.

Wells Fargo has managed our home loan for the past 3.5 years and we have had no issues. The process is simple and their monthly, quarterly and annual statements are easy to understand.

They have never sold my home loan. We pay our mortgage on-time with a little bit extra. We have not gotten much extra for that, but when we have had questions, they have been quick to respond.
