Hi Guys,
Here today's public service announcement:
If you have an account at Wells Fargo, CHECK YOUR CREDIT.
Under pressure from senior managers, bank staff opened over 1.5 million accounts and 500,000 credit cards without customers consent or knowledge.
Review your credit using a free service like Credit Karma or annualcreditreport.com to see if an unauthorized account was ever opened in your name — and if it was, whether it is still active. Look for any erroneous late charges that may have damaged your credit score, and whether any past rejections could be traced to that damage. Address any unauthorized accounts that are still open immediately, and use these as evidence in case you need to hassle with Wells Fargo to get the account closed and any fees reversed.
