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.
Who’s Eligible
You are a Class Member of the Wells Fargo TCPA settlement if you subscribed to a wireless or cellular service and you received a call or non-emergency text message from Wells Fargo that was made using an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded voice.

What should I do if wells fargo is still calling me at least 2 to 3 times a day repeatedly everyday I know I am behind but I dont need to feel like I am being harassed by them. I did fill out and send back the part for that lawsuit but still doesn’t seem to stop them
Why is Wells Fargo still texting my phone without my permission?
My wife and I received a flyer in the mail about this and I forgot all about it and now I don’t know what I did with it. Do I need info from that mailrt to file a claim?
Because of them taking for me for years it really put me in a bad way so yes I’d like to be a part of this
The article has a link to the settlement website where you can submit your claim online. Good luck!
Do any of these TCPA class action suits involve an ‘Emergency text’ with a 3 digit ‘telephone/source’ number identified such as ‘112’? Please advise. I’m a Wells Fargo Mortgage holder and have been receiving such ‘Emergency’ texts. My phone pad is locked, so it isn’t an accidental dialing by me. Thank you, Anita
You can contact the settlement administrators with any questions about qualifying claims. Good luck!
