Wells Fargo Bank NA has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit accusing it of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by contacting consumers’ cell phones without their prior express consent.

If you received a call or non-emergency text message from Wells Fargo in connection with a residential mortgage or home equity loan, you may be entitled to payment from this Wells Fargo class action settlement.

The proposed Wells Fargo settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit that alleges the bank violated the TCPA by using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice to place calls or send non-emergency texts to cell phones in connection with residential mortgage and home equity loan accounts.

The TCPA class action lawsuit asserts Wells Fargo made the calls or texts without the prior express consent of the recipients in violation of the TCPA.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is a federal law that prohibits companies from placing phone calls and text messages using an automatic telephone dialing system, artificial or prerecorded voice to consumers who have not consented to receive the calls or texts.

Wells Fargo denies the allegations but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of trial. Wells Fargo has agreed to pay more than $16.3 million to resolve the litigation.

If the Wells Fargo TCPA settlement is approved, it will resolve all claims in the following class action lawsuits: Markos v. Wells Fargo Bank NA, Page v. Wells Fargo Bank NA and Davis v. Wells Fargo Bank NA.

If you would like to opt out of or object to the Wells Fargo TCPA class action settlement, you must do so no later than Nov. 22, 2016.

    Well, I don’t know about the rest of you but I get honestly at least 30 calls a day and it’s always pushing medical coverage push pushing burial pushing life insurance and that’s all it’s ever about and it constant every day even on the weekends I put myself on the do not disturb list. They’re still back doing it again to me. It upsets me it disrupts my life. I don’t know if it’s my kids calling if there’s an emergency I don’t know who these people are, but they will not stop. I’ve had them even threatened me before. I’ve even told him I was gonna hunt them down. If they didn’t stop calling me they will not stop. We are spending American money to pay these people to drive us freaking crazy when I’m ready to die I will let them know if it happens spontaneously it happens. I don’t need somebody pushing medical down my throat or pushing any type of burial and I certainly will never trust life insurance. Are you kidding me? They owe me so much for my mother Already. They’ve taken two of our homes from us and they’ve taken my mother and lied and that’s no joke. I’ve got all the proof to prove it. They’ve destroyed our lives and made me look like a fool in front of my children. There is no way in hell anybody should be allowed to do this to anyone we call ourselves. America will get this America stop wasting our money on having people drive us crazy I’m sick of these damn phone calls. What happened to when we needed something we picked our phone up and we called them. We’re not stupid. We know how to look for insurance. We know how to look for a hospital. We know how to find out where the doctors are, we don’t need them shoved down our throat

  3. linda white says:

    I received a check but when i applied they said we would get $1500.00 per call. If you read all of the disclosures the lawers received over Five million dollars and sent us checks for less than $40.00 per call. I think we’ve all been hustled.
