A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Wells Fargo Dealer Services Inc., a division of Wells Fargo Bank NA, used an automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice to make calls or send text messages to cell phones without the recipient’s consent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
If you, between April 1, 2011 and March 30, 2016, received a call or a text message on your cell phone from Wells Fargo regarding an automobile retail installment contract, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the TCPA class action settlement.
Plaintiff Frederick Luster filed the Wells Fargo class action lawsuit on April 8, 2015, claiming the defendants violated the TCPA by using an automatic phone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice to call his cell phone without his consent.
The TCPA is a federal law designed to protect consumers from annoying telemarketers and other types of solicitors. Under the terms of the TCPA, consumers may be eligible to collect damages of $500 or as much as $1,500 per TCPA violation.
Wells Fargo denies the allegations but agreed to pay more than $14.8 million to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and risk of litigation. The Wells Fargo class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Feb. 23, 2017, and an amended preliminary order amending settlement deadlines was approved on March 30, 2017.
Class Members who would like to exclude themselves from or object to the Wells Fargo TCPA class action settlement must do so no later than Aug. 21, 2017.

wells Fargo discriminated my father and denied to provide assistance with a car loan he had with them they never try working things out or coming to an arraignment in order to provide him with the assistance due to him not being able to speak English which let my father to get his car repossed when my father was looking and trying to get assistance with his car loan due to him feeling discriminated by them.
My name veronica taylor been with you long time bank can you back to me veronica2424@juno.com
I trying to out lawsuit on well Fargo .Repossing cars .claiming you did have insurance.then sell them .And still charging owner of car need information.
Wells Fargo is a fraud and should be labeled as Domestic Terrorists. Not only are robo-phone calls a issue, Wells Fargo uses robo-signatures, fake ID’s from customers in an ID theft scheme, forgeries, and racial discrimination in which they target Hispanics, Afro-Americans, females and elderly whose financial situation make it unlikely to defend themselves. The funds one gets in a class action settlement do no compare with the hundreds of thousands Wells Fargo gets from each “customer” information from banks it takes over, as World Savings & Wachovia, etc. Wells Fargo is worse than the mob, similar to the Nazi’s processing their illegal acts legally thru the system. Their license to operate as a bank should be revoked.
Yeah and they falsely act like they’re helping you when they tell you to be over three months late before they can, then they try to foreclose. After an audit of my mortgage, there are many times they put principle payments noted on my checks in unapplied funds. They also tried to change my home owners policy to a “new” in house insurance policy double insuring my home illegally while I had months on my policy paid for. I caught it and I don’t understand why it’s so hard to find a law firm to look over my documents. I can’t be the only one and I even have the receipts of my payments.
OMG, they did a similar thing to me with my mortgage payment back from 2005-2007. Since I am self employed and employed part time, I usually pay my bills 3 months in advance. So they decided to add my extra payments to principle. It took me a while to catch the error and actually tell them that if I did not specify that the excess funds be distributed to my principle, please apply my payments as stated on my note that I mailed in which was exactly for 3 months. I had to constantly call them about adjusting all late fees, etc., since I was out of the country on vacation thinking everything was honkey dorry. In the end, no money to fight them and ended up letting the house go in 2007.
Total BS for Wells Fargo to continue to commit fraud and basically get away with it. They settled this for 14.8 rather than face paying a max penalty of $1500 PER call ? That means they are basically paying the fines of a total 9867 CALLS…..anyone believe that Wells Fargo didn’t exceed that number of illegal calls by 100’s of thousands of times?
Brilliant marketing campaign for them. The cost to aquire clients and sell products costs far more than what this settlement cost. Legal fees get to written off on top of it and they win again!!! If your still doing business with Wells Fargo your just as much of the problem as they are. Look at the track record of this company and the governments refusal to change laws to stop them is outrageous.
I don’t think it is fair that we have to remember any phone numbers years ago tha Wells Fargo called us from to get our settlement. If they are filing a lawsuit against Wells Fargo they should have all this information. They know nobody remember those numbers. So this is just a loss!
I am not clear on the message in the call. Awhile back I kept getting calls saying my vehicle warranty was about to expire if I did not take immediate action. Since my van was bought used, and 10 yrs old, I immediately hung up. Could that be the call described n the lawsuit?
Of course it was , if it wasn’t let them prove that it wasn’t. Wells Fargo is one of the most fraudulent companies around. Before I left them for uncavory business practices I personally complained about and they refused to acknowledge but a couple years after closing my accounts they were settling on two large class actions which were the reasons I left. My personal loss far exceeded what the settlement payments were by at least 200 to 300$. They know they are doing illegal things but also know in the long run it will be profitable to eventually settle a class action suite. The courts need to fix this practice by larger monetary fines and in WF case criminal charges need to be filed and the laws changed to allow the CEO ‘s to face charges.
They robot called me… but I definitely didn’t save the phone number. Am I SOL?
You have to print it out and mail it in, like an animal.
Not new news. Lol
