[kj] 14-Minute KJ Documentary trailer...

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

I didn't say they didn't s*ck, just that she works there and thought the video was funny. 
 
I actually had a similar run-in with WF about 7 years ago. WF collections began harassing me daily by phone, sometimes 6-8 times per day, about a delinquent business loan. I, of course, did not have a WF business loan, nor had I ever had any dealings with WF whatsoever.
 
I was finally able to speak with someone coherent who told me that I was obviously the victim of ID theft and directed me to their fraud department. This freaked me out, as you can imagine. I spoke to someone in their fraud department and we compared SS#s, which did not match, of course.
 
Turns out that the WF collections group had leveraged all their high-technology and global reach to pick up a local phone book and just start calling people with the same name as was on the loan. My name is not common, but also not entirely obscure, so there were at least two other guys in the same boat.
 
WF was bought out by Norwest in MN quite a while ago. Most of these shady practices came with WF in that merger.
