bank statement mixed up

[kyrax12]

Anyone had this happened to them before?

Bank wouldn't lend money to you because they mixed up the account of another person who is on a loan.


*cough* Wellsfargo *cough*

A company (more specifically a human) made a mistake?

Shens.

Sorry, not in the 21st century.

That is a pretty huge mistake.

Assuming that another person now has your credit information.

That's not what you said. What you said amounts to a bank employee, who has access to view all accounts, brought up another individuals account while determining if you had sufficient funds or credit to secure a loan. I'd imagine this is a pretty simple and common error that is easily corrected by pulling up the correct account.

No no let me clear this up.


My uncle wants to take out a loan to secure a house in the future but was unable to do so because wellsfargo said they had a loan up. Apparently the bank mixed up my uncle's and my dad's account and my dad is the one with the loan.

Now I have to print out some of the bank statement from my parent's account to my uncle because of the mixed up.

I don't see how that is not exactly what I said happened. Regardless, your father should have no issue in getting this corrected. Wells Fargo is the business of selling products (i.e. loans) and will not pass up a chance to make a sale.

Two banks around here merged together, and my Dad had an account with Bank A. When they merged someone at Bank B had an account with the same account number as my Dad. We were getting ready to move so there only a couple hundred dollars in my dads account, it just hadnt been closed yet. so my dad gets the bank statement for the month from them and they account had most of the money withdrawn, by the guy from bank B who probably thought it was his account. Dad went to the bank and they fixed it and readily admitted they really screwed up. I've always wondered how they didnt think to see if any account numbers were the same across banks, and I wondered how many people that happened to.

My Best Buy HSBC credit card kept reverting to my twin brother's name no matter how many times I corrected it. When I would call and enter my info into the automated system it would say that I had zero balance because my brother had canceled his card years earlier but my statements would come in ALSO in his name. The Best Buy Reward Zone program kept doing the same thing. I take it that something in their system thinks we are the same person because our old addresses matched (mother's address) and our SSNs were the same if the last four digits were obscured. We have the same initials as well.
