I've been having problems with a credit card that I have, I try to pay them, and they say oh we don't have the right account number or routing number (though they had successfully taken auto-payments from me many times before), then the CC company messes up the whole debit card/checking account number, charges me fees, sends me letters saying it didn't go through the bank because blah blah- this happens with them like 3-4 times, so by the last time I try to resolve this w/the CC company, try to log in and all my info is deleted (routing, account #'s etc) , I become frustrated and call Wells Fargo, wanting to find a way to pay them off and be done with this credit card since they have become a nightmare to deal with. Luckily I get a nice lady named Antoinette who told me go ahead and come into the branch local to me.
I come into the branch , yay she's there, she calls the cc company phone number,she finally spoke with them, set up a payment to go through with them, got me a confirmation number, asked them if it was ok to use the debit card to make payments and said if they try the "it didn't go through because we don't have some #" business again to let her know and she would fix it. She was super nice and patient as we waited on the phone for someone from the CC company to help us, which took a while. Hopefully doing this will have solved the problem once and for all and I won't have to leave a follow-up as it will be resolved by having had her help me, and I don't plan on using that card for anything again and am considering writing a review on that CC company because of all this. Just for the record in case I wasn't clear, the cc company is not affiliated with wells fargo, it is one I signed up for while using a travel website a couple years back, it is affiliated with this travel-bargaining website and uses their name on the card although the bank that supplies the card has a different name than the travel-booking website. Note: get another credit card that has a real bank you can go to, not just a web address and phone number that from my experience, sounds like it is in some other country. The hassle and fees I paid from their screw ups with the bank numbers, and stress weren't worth whatever deal I got from them initially. Think twice before you go for one of these 'deals' .
In any case, I'm grateful that Antoinette helped me and that she didn't just blow me off and say 'uh you have to fix this with them, we don't do that' or the panicky 'I don't know what I'm doing' type thing or 'oh no , I'm not selling anything to her, I'm just helping her, this sucks' the 'oh God, this is going to be a pain in the ..' or give me the look of 'it must be your fault, you probably screwed something up' look or the apathetic eye-rolling attitude you see in some employees these days, all of which I was afraid I was going to get having to deal with this annoying and ongoing problem with the credit card company. She didn't do any of that, was competent , professional and nice to boot. Usually you are lucky to get any of those things these days and only rarely all three.
Hopefully her having dealt with them on the phone will solve this, I will leave a follow up , the CC company told her it would take a couple of business days to process. read more
