A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit accusing Wells Fargo NA of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). If you received an autodialed call or prerecorded voice message from Wells Fargo that attempted to collect on a consumer credit card account, you may be eligible for benefits from the class action settlement.
The TCPA class action lawsuit alleged that Wells Fargo placed calls to cell phones in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The plaintiff alleged she received calls from Wells Fargo that were intended for the collection of another person’s credit card account. Further, these calls allegedly featured a prerecorded voice message or were made with an autodialer, in violation of the TCPA. According to the class action lawsuit, the plaintiff did not have a credit card account with Wells Fargo and never gave her express consent to receive the calls.
Wells Fargo denies the allegations but has agreed to pay nearly $14 million to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of continued litigation. More than 4 million consumers may be eligible for benefits from the Wells Fargo class action settlement.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Wells Fargo TCPA class action settlement include cell phone users or subscribers to wireless/cellular service within the United States who received a call from Wells Fargo with automated dialing or prerecorded voice technology in an effort to collect on a consumer credit card account between Nov. 1, 2009 and Sept. 17, 2014.
Potential Award
Each eligible Class Member who submits a valid and timely claim will receive a pro rata payment from the class action settlement fund. The actual amount each claimant receives will depend on the total number of approved claims.

Yes I figured they were lying and the amounts they were saying they got is ridiculous I doubt we will be getting 5,000 dollars
The people that are saying they received checks are simply lying. Although the settlement has been approved through the court, the judge has not signed it yet. Currently, we’re waiting on the judge to sign it and then released the checks
I have not received anything so who knows how many people have gotten checks so far
How many of you received a check?
That seems like an awful lot of money I was expecting 3 or 4.00 we shall see when I recieve the check
Hi I got 5,ooo
Did not receive a check, and I did receive a post card. How do I check the status of my check.
Did anyone received a check? How do I check the status of my check.
Maybe we all should get together and sue the lawyers… Are rights were violated not there’s and they get millions and big bonuses why we get s**t…
so when do we know? and how can we check the status of these checks to be sent out? is there any way to know how much these checks will be any way?
Hi, I got $11,500.34 check of claims from Wells Fargo bank last August 21st 2015. And I thanks to you and other members of Wells Fargo that who didn’t file out the claims against them. That how I received more money. And I know it’s too late for anyone have chance to claims it.
