Wells Fargo & Company Credit Card Complaint

Credit card protection / Debt protection

Wells Fargo & Company Credit card department,

Credit card protection / Debt protection Texas

I have a credit card with Wells Fargo for over 10 years. I 've never been the type to check statements but recently began to and was surprised to learn that I have been getting charged monthly for a service called credit protection. This is not a service that I ever agreed to. I contacted Wells Fargo and a representative agreed to refund the charges dating back to -/-/- totaling around $110.00. I demanded that all charges dating back to when the card was opened to be refunded. She stated that she personally could only do the 6 months but was sending information to the credit defense program in a " ticker '' and that they would be able refund the full amount. Unfortunately the number she gave me was closed that day and I was unable to receive any confirmation that all the charges would be refunded. Simply typing this program into google revealed that this was a long running scam by Wells Fargo and that many people have had this exact issue. Wells Fargo is even facing a class action over this.
