I applied for a Wells Home Equity Line of Credit to conduct home improvements on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I was approved for a credit limit of up to {$30000.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2015. During the process, I considered seeking a higher credit limit, but was informed by Wells that I could always raise the limit later on if necessary. After the Home Equity Line of Credit was approved, I learned that my anticipated renovations would cost more than expected. Accordingly, I returned to Wells to obtain a higher credit limit. It was only then that I was told by Wells that New York State law allegedly prohibits Wells from increasing the original credit limit on a Home Equity Line of Credit. At no time did Wells inform me of this limitation when I sought the original line of credit. Indeed -- Wells ' representations were the opposite -- that I could always raise my line of credit if necessary. This false representation was a significant motivating factor in my decision to obtain the original line of credit. Now, however, I have been told by Wells that in order for me to obtain a higher line of credit, I must first close the existing Line of Credit and apply for a brand new Line of Credit with a higher limit. This process will cost me over {$800.00}, and Wells has refused to waive the additional service charges and closing costs.
