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.
The Court has certified the following subclasses:
Subclass One: Includes Class Members who used or subscribed to a cellular phone number to which Wells Fargo initiated a call or non-emergency text in connection with a residential mortgage loan from Nov. 17, 2011 to Feb. 29, 2016.
Subclass Two: Includes Class Members who used or subscribed to a cellular phone number to which Wells Fargo made or initiated a call or non-emergency text in connection with a home equity loan from April 14, 2011 to Feb. 29, 2016.
Potential Award
$25 – $75 (estimated).

Got $37.10 in the mail today.
I received $18.55 today on Ma… Thanks TCA
Received check for $18.55
Important Update: The Court issued a Final Approval Order and Judgment on January 30, 2017. Settlement awards were mailed on April 28, 2017 to all Class Members who filed a valid and timely claim.
There is a different Wells Fargo TCPA class action that received final approval on 2/10 (10 days after this settlement finalized). I read those checks are being distributed May 5. Both of these have the same settlement administrators. A pattern would dictate that these checks are mailed 10 days before the other settlemet which would mean checks will be here next week. That’s my .02 on the topic
When will we know about amounts to be expected and when?
You will know the amounts as soon as you read the very last comment or even the comment before that, or the info on the settlement site. I’m starting to think you didn’t even try.
lol right. why repeat the answer when she wont bother reading it anyway
Well smart guy sometimes it is increased because everyone does not file a claim. Hope it made your day to be a jerk for no reason at all. Let’s try being nicer to people even the ones we don’t know for God.
Complete waste of time. We were pursued relentlessly.everyday – often two or three times a day. On our cell phones and land line. No settlement received. But $75 doesn’t even cut it. $24 is an insult and gives corporations free rein to do whatever the hell they want.
The Lawyers who took the case won big-time.
I found no distribution timeline in the documents but the final approval order says claimants will receive $24
Was $30 mil when I got mail and now $16 mil. Yeah….we should be looking for who took a $14 mil cut. Not right to give us an amount then turn around and look at the $$$ and just say I want half.
Agreed.. I havent heard ANYTHING since I applied so is that due to them taking extra like seriously wtf ?
Was over $30 mil when I got mail and now $16 mil. Yeah…..so we should look into who is taking a $14 mil cut. Not right to give us an amount then turn around look at the $$$ and just say I want half.
