Wells Fargo Dealer Services TCPA Class Action Settlement

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.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the Wells Fargo TCPA settlement include all wireless cell phone subscribers or users in the United States who, between April 1, 2011 and March 30, 2016, received a call or text message from Wells Fargo Dealer Services in connection with an automobile retail installment sales contract, and the call or text was made using an automated dialing technology or an artificial or prerecorded voice.

Potential Award

$20 – $50 (estimated)
