Wells Fargo agreed to pay $33 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it assisted Apex, Triangle and Tarr entities in misleading consumers into signing up for monthly subscriptions.
The Wells Fargo settlement benefits consumers who were enrolled in recurring billing by any of the Tarr, Triangle or Apex entities since 2009. A list of the entities can be found on the settlement website.
According to the class action lawsuit, Wells Fargo assisted Apex, Triangle and Tarr entities in misleading consumers into signing up for monthly subscriptions. The bank allegedly opened accounts for the companies and transferred millions of dollars into their accounts.
The Apex, Triangle and Tarr entities allegedly ran “free” trial offers for personal care products, electronic cigarettes and dietary, health or beauty supplements. Consumers who signed up for these trials were allegedly charged the full price of the products and enrolled in monthly subscription plans without their consent.
Wells Fargo is a bank that offers financial services, such as banking, loans, credit and investments.
Wells Fargo has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $33 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the Wells Fargo settlement, class members can receive a cash payment.
Class members who have documentation of their losses can receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund based on their documented losses. Examples of documentation include credit card statements, bank statements and email receipts. These payments may be subject to a pro rata reduction depending on the number of claims received.
Class members who do not have documentation of their losses can receive a flat cash payment of up to $20. These payments may also be reduced proportionally, depending on the number of claims received.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 5, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the Wells Fargo settlement is scheduled for March 26, 2026.
To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by March 4, 2026.
Class Members who previously received a payment from the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) refund programs in connection with the FTC’s prior lawsuits against the Triangle or Apex Entities do not need to submit a Claim Form to be eligible to receive Settlement benefits.
Who’s Eligible
The class is made up of anyone who was enrolled in recurring billing by any of the Tarr, Triangle or Apex entities since 2009. A list of these entities and the products they sold can be found on the settlement website.
Potential Award
Varies
Proof of Purchase
Claimants who were enrolled in recurring billing with the Tarr entities must submit documentation supporting their out-of-pocket losses, such as credit card statements, bank statements and/or email receipts.
“Self-prepared” documents, such as handwritten receipts, are, by themselves, insufficient to receive reimbursement but can be considered to add clarity or support other submitted documentation.
