Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC Investigating Claims That Wells Fargo Auto Insurance Scheme Was Scam

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Weekly News -- Heninger Garrison Davis is currently investigating claims that Wells Fargo bank customers were sold unnecessary auto insurance policies they didn't need or want. The customers were forced to pay for auto insurance through Wells Fargo when they took out an auto loan, even if they already had auto insurance through another carrier. Of these customers who were falsely charged for the insurance, close to 250,000 of them fell into delinquency and almost 25,000 resulted in vehicle repossessions. These claims made by Wells Fargo customers are eerily similar to the fake-account scandal at the bank. A proposed class-action lawsuit was filed Sunday in San Francisco federal court.

According to July 31 article by Laura J. Keller and Margaret Cronin Fisk on Bloomberg.com, Wells Fargo said it may have pushed thousands of car buyers into loan defaults and repossessions by charging them for the unwanted insurance. The bank said an internal review of its auto lending found more than 500,000 clients may have unwittingly paid for protection against vehicle loss or damage while making monthly loan payments, even though many drivers already had their own policies. The firm said it may pay as much as $80 million to affected clients - with extra money for as many as 20,000 who lost cars, "as an expression of our regret."
