Re: Wells Fargo app

I don't have an Wells Fargo account, and I don't intend to open one. 

 

It's one thing when your account gets hit by fraud done by outside criminals, but in this case, the bank itself is a criminal.

 

If you're opening a Wells Fargo account, be warned, your info will be used to open tons of fraudulent accounts and you'll have to face a lot of fees later, and you'll not even know what hit you. 

 

You've been warned.

Re: Wells Fargo app

Thanks for the warning..We just opened up a WF cc.  They gave 10K.  I am going to keep a sharp eye on this account thanks to your warning.

Just applied for a CC with WF from an offer they sent me for 15 months% interest. free.  they only appoved me for $2K?? My score high of 768,n  745 and of course Experian is always the lowest 688, why is that?   Does WF use Experian?  I also have my mortgage with WF.  So they gave me a limit just enough to cover the balance transfer?!! My DTI is less 2% and well below my limits, income is $90K.  Have other cards with $15k etc. What is with WF?


I think WF does use EX, though I'm not sure which model they use. The score they provide me on my app is a FICO Bankcard Score 2 score which is 60+ points lower than my 08 score

Re: Wells Fargo app

If you don't have any banking accounts or a relationship with Wells Fargo, I doubt either of you will be approved. I've seen people with 800+ scores declined by WF. They seem to want a relationship with you before approving CC's with you. Not 100% of the time obviously, but most of the time. Good luck.

I seriously doubt that WF will "continue" the blind eye practice now that they are under the microscope of the CFPB and Congress - Not justifying their past practices, but I disagree with your assumption. 

 

Edit/Add: I've had a WF Mortgage for over 10 years, no issues at all and I just accepted a $16k starting CL Cash Wise Visa with 15 months 0% - not the least bit concerned.
