Wells Fargo To Hand Out $1,300,000 Over Lawsuit Alleging Bank Sent Improper Letters to Customers

Banking giant Wells Fargo is set to distribute $1.3 million in a new class action settlement.

The lawsuit alleges the bank sent improper and misleading correspondence to mortgage customers in West Virginia who were enrolled in its COVID-19 forbearance program.

Plaintiff David Kirkpatrick claims Wells Fargo sent letters to borrowers that improperly addressed how deferred mortgage payments would be handled at the end of the forbearance period.

The letters allegedly suggested that missed payments would automatically be moved to the end of the loan term, a representation the plaintiff argues was inaccurate or misleading under applicable mortgage rules and consumer protection laws.

The lawsuit contends that the communications were sent to numerous similarly situated borrowers in the state who had opted into pandemic-related forbearance programs offered by the bank.

The forbearance programs were designed to provide temporary relief to homeowners experiencing financial hardship during the COVID-19 emergency, but the suit alleges that the follow-up letters created confusion about borrowers’ repayment obligations and loan modification options.

Without admitting any wrongdoing, Wells Fargo has agreed to establish a settlement fund totaling $1.3 million. The fund will be used to provide payments to eligible class members who received the challenged letters during the relevant time period. The settlement also resolves all claims asserted in the action related to the allegedly improper communications.

Class members who qualify under the settlement terms may be entitled to receive a portion of the fund without needing to file a claim, depending on the final approval and distribution process. The agreement brings the litigation to a close while avoiding further court proceedings.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
