CONSUMER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Class Action of Wells Fargo & Company for Allegedly Charging Improper Mortgage Fees

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announces that a class action has been filed in the Northern District of California against Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage ("Wells Fargo" or the "Company") (NYSE: WFC) for allegedly forcing customers to pay for improper mortgage fees.

The complaint alleges that Wells Fargo has violated numerous state and federal consumer protection laws, including the U.S. Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the U.S. Truth in Lending Act and that: (1) the Company was systematically charging its customers a fee to extend the period that their offered mortgage interest rate was "locked in," even though it was Wells Fargo that caused the delays in the closing process; (2) Wells Fargo managers pressured employees give an excuse to blame the borrowers for the delays; and (3) consequently, the borrowers found themselves in the difficult position of paying these added fees or risk not closing on a home, or paying a higher rate.

In January 2017, ProPublica first revealed this alleged practice following which Wells Fargo reportedly hired a law firm to conduct an internal investigation and then fired several managers who were allegedly involved in this scheme. As of June 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is also investigating the Company.
