Wells Fargo & Company Credit Card Complaint

Wells Fargo & Company Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Georgia

On or about the -/-/- I paid off a retail account I had with Wells Fargo Bank, the bank in return closed the account which they should have. Several days later there was a new retail account opened in my name by wells Fargo Bank for - dollars without my knowledge or consent. I contacted wells Fargo and spoke to a representative from their retail department who told me that the personal information I provided did n't match what they had for my date of birth and she updated it. I asked her who opened the account and she said it was so I could shop with their approved merchants and could only be used with them that it was not a regular credit card. I told her to closee the account and she said come on do n't you want to keep it and I told her it was a fraudulent account done without my consent aND she read off some prepared statement about how closing the account would impact on my credit which it did.
