Wells Fargo to refund $80M to 570,000 auto loan customers charged for insurance
USA Today ^ | July 28, 2017 | Mike Snider

Wells Fargo will give refunds to more than 570,000 auto loan customers who were also charged for auto insurance without their knowledge.

The bank said in August it will begin sending letters and refund checks to customers, most of whom already had insurance of their own, and some who had their cars repossessed, in part, because of the practice. Wells Fargo will make $80 million in payments -- $64 million in cash and $16 million in account adjustments -- the bank said Thursday.

Not siding with WF, but it takes lots ignorant people for this type of stuff to occur.

More stealing by the banks. But, hey as long as they pour millions into the politic races, they are untouchable. $80 million? They’ll write that out of petty cash.

$140.35 evenly disbursed. That has to mean lots of people caught it right off.

Just a guess. They will blame it on computer programming.

What has happened to WF? They’ve turned into a criminal entity.

Seems to me if your account is accurate, the company knew the situation and did nothing to rectify the error.

I would think WF would be subject to RICO criminal charges by this point.

A few years ago, my house burned to the ground. We cleared the entire burned out structure and the foundation.

WF insisted that I maintain insurance in the structure and bought an unsueavr pol Cut fie a structure that did not exist.

I quit banking doing biz at that corrupt bank years ago. Wells Fargo just sucks.

Not really. Easy to slip in with all the paperwork you have for a simple auto loan these days.

Wells Fargo should be shut down under RICO statutes.

I just posted the same thing. Of course we both know better. But write a bad check and see what happens.

Not sure what is going on here. I still balance my accounts every month. I would notice a $50 monthly error right away on my checking account. Maybe not so quick on a credit card, but I would catch it.

Kinda late. Executives should be in jail over this.

I have a Chase account. To assist me with overdrafts, Chase will post a charge from my debit/VISA and then remove it to make my available balance appear higher. They usually do this Thursday or Friday after transfers from savings are queued until the next business day. Then they re-post the charge, preferably on a Monday morning with all my weekend charges.

Of course I could avoid overdraft charges if I went back to balancing my checkbook on paper or using a spreadsheet.

But then why bother with electronic banking?

It seems to me this is fraud, since they know the charges are there and deliberately provide false information about my available balance hoping I'll overdraw the account.

I write one check a month for rent payment. The rest of expenses are done on our debit card, and I check activity on that account at least 3 times a day...

I'm retired. I have nothing else to do...

Wells Fargo is about the sleaziest bank out there. Shocked they survived 2009.

Might be a trail there between Obama / Democrats and Wells Fargo.
