Wells Fargo Robocall, Text Spam Class Action Settlement

Wells Fargo Bank NA has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice to contact consumers on their cell phones.

If you received a call or text message on your cell phone from Wells Fargo regarding an overdraft between Apr. 21, 2011 and Dec. 19, 2015, and the call or text was made using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice, you may be entitled to compensation from the TCPA class action settlement.

Wells Fargo denies that it made any illegal calls or texts but agreed to pay more than $30.4 million to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit.

If approved, the proposed Wells Fargo settlement would resolve a TCPA class action lawsuit filed in April 2015 by plaintiff Kenisha Cross. She claims that she received multiple non-emergency calls from Wells Fargo that were made without her prior express consent.

According to the Wells Fargo class action lawsuit, the calls and text messages were made using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice. Cross asserts that these calls and texts violated the TCPA.

The TCPA provides for damages of $500 per violation or up to $1,500 for willful violations. It also provides for injunctions that limit future conduct from those found to have violated the TCPA.

If you would like to object to or exclude yourself from the Wells Fargo TCPA class action settlement, you must do so no later than Dec. 16, 2016.

The Class Period is Apr. 21, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2015.

Potential Award

$25 – $70 (estimated)
