I have had Wells since I was 17. Right now I don't run into any problems, love the bill pay, only have a checkings account and a credit card I never use through them.

I did however have a horrible experience with them when I got a car loan. The license and registration was priced into the loan. I never received it in the mail, and was getting tickets for it. I went to the bank, and the teller had no idea what I was talking about. I seriously think he pretended to call some wells customer service number because he told me that they said it's in the mail. Well, later (actually, this was 6 months of trying to get what i paid for), the correct department contacted me, they didn't have a peice of information they needed to get it to me. They never contacted me until then and I had no way of contacting them and the teller obviously didn't either (and lied about it!). Very stressful experience.

They are perfectly fine for checking/savings, if you get overdraft fees that's your fault for not understanding how their system works. I will never get a loan or anything important financed through them again.

Shareholders were rewarded. It is not like the taxpayers paid extra tax for this.

Wells Fargo is one of those too large to fail banks that received welfare from working americans' at the tune of 25 billion dollars. Never should have happened and it better not happen again. Especially a bank that has contempt for its customers who bailed them out. If they don't like it they can move their crooked operation to China and rip them off.

Let's face facts: The megabanks, whatever we may not like about them, have paid back the bailouts with interest. So it was not welfare, it was a loan. It sounds like your hatred and resentment have reached the point where you are unable to be objective and rational enough to give the devil his due.

A legitimate argument would be that even the largest banks should have been allowed to fail, just as many of the smaller ones were. We could bat that one back and forth, as to whether the disruption would have disrupted all of us in very major ways, whether the situation was unusual enough to justify bailouts for the common good, not just the good of the megabanks. That is a hypothetical, since they were not allowed to fail, but it is a legitimate topic.

But it is dishonest to imply that the bailouts were just gifts, that they were not designed to be paid back, and that they were not in fact paid back.

Wells Fargo is big part of the Financial stock market. It needs to stay stable.
