Bank accounts controlled by unknown third party without customer consent
A consumer alleges that an unknown individual has unauthorized control over their Wells Fargo accounts, including blocking release of a credit card and access to funds. The bank has not identified or explained who this third party is or why they have access. This represents a severe account security failure with no clear resolution path provided to the customer.
