Wells Fargo is currently being investigated by various governmental agencies with regard to illegal practices concerning mortgages and foreclosures. Wells Fargo has been accused of violating fair lending laws by the Security and Exchange Commission.
The company spokesman for Wells Fargo recently stated “with regard to the investigation into foreclosure practices, it is likely that one or more of the government enforcement actions against Wells Fargo will result in civil monetary penalties.” There are also more than half a dozen class action lawsuits pending against Wells Fargo on behalf of homeowners. These lawsuits claim that employees at Wells Fargo executed documents in foreclosure proceedings without having personal knowledge of the facts contained in these documents. The relief requested in the lawsuits against Wells Fargo asks for monitory damages, cancellation of mortgages and other penalties against the bank. Wells Fargo has indicated that they make be facing as much as $1.2 billion dollars in losses related to the pending litigation. This has caused the bank’s share price to go down.
