Wells Fargo Credit Card Complaint

Wells Fargo Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account South Carolina

I applied online at wellsfargo.com for a secured credit card with Wells Fargo on -/-/-2016. After the application was complete, I received a screen that said my application was pending because Wells Fargo needed more time to gather more information. I did not receive any further correspondence from Wells Fargo about the application nor did I receive a phone call or any message from my Wells Fargo account about the application. On - -, 2016 I checked my account in the morning and found that $300.00 was taken out of my bank account for the secured credit card that was approved with Wells Fargo. At this time I still had not received any information that I was approved for the application or that money would be taken from my bank account to start the secured credit card. As soon as I saw the money had been removed I called Wells Fargo to find out why. I spoke with a representative in the credit card department who advised me that I was approved for the application and that I would receive a card in the mail within 7-10 business days. I advised that I was upset about the steps that had


did not then it would take 45-60 days to have funds put back into my bank account. I waited 2 days to see if I would receive anything from Wells Fargo stating the account was approved and I did not. I proceeded to call Wells Fargo and close the account. I was advised that it would take 45-60 days to have the funds refunded to my account. I proceeded to advised the representative the issue and what had happened and she advised me that it may be sooner since the account was not fully funded and still in processing. As of - -, 2016 my funds have still not been refunded to my bank account and I still have not received any communication that I was approved for a secure credit card and what the terms and conditions of the card/application are. I called again on -/-/-2016 and spoke with - representatives and nothing was attempted to get my funds refunded sooner than - business and I was advised that Wells Fargo 's policy was that they only refund the collateral hold within 45-60 days. Because I did not receive a email/letter/call about the approval for the application I was not made, aware before the funds were taken out of my account, that this was a policy of Wells Fargo and that it would apply to me once the funds were removed.
