Wells Fargo & Company Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Wells Fargo & Company Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Wyoming

I applied for a credit card through Wells Fargo in - MT on - - 2015. I never received it but was approved. They sent it to my past addresses that were listed in my credit report. I checked my credit one day and found out that I had this card and it had been being used by someone else. I cancelled it and reported the fraud. Later I check and find out it was also connected to a checking account that I was a co on. I did specifically ask that this card not be attached to any checking account and was told that it would not be, but it was and that checking account kept getting over drafted without my knowledge and put against my credit card up to approx. $8000.00. Approx $6000.00 was overdraft fees. I contacted the bank to talk to the guy that set my account up but he had already quit, I am pretty sure it was due to being forced to setup accounts like this. I had to pay it so I could cancel all my accounts with them because everything they did was a mistake and kept costing me more money. I believe they at least owe the amount in overdraft fees.
