Harlow, et al. v. Wells Fargo Bankruptcy Forbearance Settlement
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT INFORMATION:
www.WellsFargoBankruptcyForbearanceClass.com
Kellett & Bartholow PLLC (“K&B”) is co-lead class counsel for the plaintiffs in a pending class action against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., captioned Harlow, et al. v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This case is about Wells Fargo’s placement of the mortgage loans of certain Chapter 13 debtors into COVID-related forbearances in 2020-2021, even though plaintiffs assert that the Chapter 13 debtors did not request a forbearance for their mortgage loan.
The Plaintiffs and Wells Fargo reached a Settlement to settle the litigation for $15,000,000.
On October 11, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia granted final approval of the settlement. Class members had already been sent notice of the settlement and information about their participation.
If no appeals are filed, the Settlement Administrator will start disbursing initial automatic payments by U.S. mail to class members who did not “opt out” of the Settlement. The Settlement Administrator will send these initial checks from November 12, 2024 to December 12, 2024.
Please check your mail and timely cash the check when received! Failure to cash the check may result in loss of possible additional disbursements.
In addition, there is still time to submit a claim. You may request additional compensation if you feel that being placed into forbearance caused you to suffer damages in excess of the amount that you will automatically receive for being in the Settlement Class. The deadline to submit a claim is January 7, 2025. Please see the official settlement website for more information on filing a claim.
