Wells Fargo double charged everyone on their bill pays today

#1
Happened everyone today. If you have a bill payment which paid yesterday, processed today and will be sent tomorrow, I'd say go check your account. Mine and my wife's account along with a lot of people got double charged today. We've called the customer service and they've said that everyone was charged double and they are fixing it.

Well, this sounds like wells fargo played with our money overnight and giving them back to us.

What are your thoughts?

They have gone through a massive investigation so doing something like this is strange. So, until proven otherwise it's safer to assume Hanlon's razor - Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

I was just thinking of switching all my accounts from Chase to Wells Fargo because Chase isn't located in my new town.

This is a good reminder as to why I should choose a different bank. Thanks for posting.

Why Wells Fargo specifically?
