I have been late on my payment due to personal issues and have tried over and over again to try to find a resolution to this. I've spoken to several customer service rep's, none of who would help me. They were only concerned with getting a payment over the phone. They continually called my house...8 -10 a day until I stopped answering because they wouldn't help me. When I did speak to them they were rude, bullying, be-littling and condescending. On Saturday, March 29, 2008 I spoke to Duane from Wells Fargo. Once again...rude and mistreated me. I started to read about them online and this seems to be a common practice of their tactics on how they treat their customers. Duane told me I was irresponsible and needed to get my act together. At this point I became angry and told him the phone call was now ended because of the way he was treating me. My girlfriend stayed on the other end after I hung up and Duane continued to say Valjean if you want to keep the car don't hang up. Wells Fargo has continually harassed me for 3 months straight. The phone calls start at 8am and do not stop until 9pm...7 days a week. I tried to work with them on this...asking them to refinance me or come take the car. They wouldn't do either. I couldn't afford to get any more upside down in this car at 17.75% interest...I couldn't afford the payments anymore. So my girlfriend on 3/29 made a credit card transfer through Citibank because she wanted to help me because of the stress its been causing our home.
It takes a few business days for it to go through. On Monday, March 31, 2008 I received another call from WFAF. I tried to explain to the guy 3 times that we called for the payoff and paid the loan off. They would not take this answer and kept harassing me for another payment. He asked me where the car was and that I needed to clear my personal possessions out of the car. Then he got a "supervisor" on the phone...who also started to be-little me. So my girlfriend got on the phone upset and let them have it and they got rude back with her and hung up. Now anytime I've ever asked to speak to a supervisor they would never put one on.
Wells Fargo has never sent me by mail any letters regarding this account being past due...even though I've asked them to stop calling my house. They continued to call, call, call, call, call, call call. Quite a few times I've answered and said hello 5 times to no answer so I hung up. I've had it with this company and there has to be some recourse for this type of harassment isn't there?

I too am dealing with them, they keep harassing me saying I am behind in my payments. In Dec they said if I paid 1000.00 dollars it would make me current so I paid it. But to this day they still keep insisting that I am not current. Now they call constantly harrassing me at work at home and they have even threatened my co-workers. It is so hard to try to get it straightened out cause the customer service people who call be-little you and and practically call you stupid. I don't know what to do anymore I can't get this resolved and now they are threating to pick up the car.

You don't even have to be late on a payment to be subject to the Wells Fargo harassment team. I am a couple years in on a 60 month auto loan, and have never been late nor a penny short on a single payment. However, my car insurance lapsed for a month or two, which, while not a good idea, is still a completely legal thing to do in my state. Without my permission, they added me to their own auto insurance plan and bumped up my payment over a hundred dollars per month. So now they're calling me about 10 times a day and I have to deal with their harassment despite fulfilling my end of the agreement to the letter. Even when I agreed to make a payment, the calls didn't stop. I finally told them I'd send the payment once I went two days without a call from them, and it still didn't stop. It's not even 10 in the morning here and they've just called me for the third time. They are making a business practice of turning good customers into bad ones for their own simple profit.

To ANYONE thinking about becoming a new customer of Wells Fargo, avoid them like the plague. I cannot stress that enough. Again, I have never been a day late on my payments, and have always paid the full amount laid out per our contract agreement, and that is just not enough to spare you their harassment. I have had problems with bills before, but that was a long time ago, and no one has been as rude or had as much evil intent as Wells Fargo. I will now actively encourage anyone I know to avoid them and the misery they will try to inflict on their customers in the name of turning a quick buck on the backs of their good customers, who they know are more likely to pay their ludicrous fees, no matter how questionable it is legally.

AVOID WELLS FARGO LIKE THE PLAGUE! And if you're already in the unfortunate situation of being their customer, I NEVER answer the phone when they call. You have no obligation to answer the phone and should not feel the least bit bad about it. WF knows, as any debt collector does, that harassment works and preying on peoples feelings of guilt works much better over the phone. And answering the phone will only encourage them to keep calling. And second, send them a certified with return receipt letter demanding they stop calling under the FDCPA.
