The Wells Fargo class action settlement resolves allegations that the bank used an automatic telephone dialing system to place either calls or texts to consumers regarding a home equity loan or residential mortgage loan.

The plaintiffs accused Wells Fargo of violating federal law by not obtaining the recipient’s express consent prior to placing the calls. Unsolicited calls and texts are covered under the TCPA. Companies found in violation may be required to pay between $500 and $1,500 per violation.

Wells Fargo denied any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $16.3 million to settle the claims.

Class Members included all U.S. residents who received at least one call or text from Wells Fargo in connection to a Residential Mortgage Loan between Nov. 17, 2011 and Feb. 29, 2016 or received at least one call or text from Wells Fargo regarding a Home Equity Loan between April 14, 2011 and Feb. 29, 2016.
