so there's no shortage of stories that make wells fargo look bad uh... but
this story in particular really really actor amplifies my disdain for wells
fargo
because of the fact that they uh... did something wrong full okay abby
wrongfully accused a man of not paying his property taxes when after him and
the court case was so stressful that his family alleges that he died as a result
of it
so almost final wrongfully one after a man in the marriott they'll asses and
uh... decided he'd failed to pay his property taxes for two years in a row so
they went after him for thirteen thousand three hundred sixty one dollars
and ninety cents
now this man
happy this property taxes in fact
he had overpaid his property taxes
by six months
so out he didn't really understand what was going on but wells fargo
made a mistake
and date we're supposed to go after his neighbor but because of the type of they
went after him
cell at
the satmar
you know what what we're gonna do is we're gonna care property taxes for you
that way you know that you don't have to go under water or anything like that you
can continue senior house but then you have to pay if that money back in his
lightweight but i've paid my property taxes
they didn't care
uh... and at first they didn't do investigation to see if there was a typo
they went after him indeed doubled his mortgage now keep in mind that this is
an alder guy uh... you know he's retired
and he was living on about sixteen hundred dollars a month
and they doubled his mortgage to about twenty five hundred dollars a month so
he couldn't his mortgage and the crazy thing is before they foreclose on hand
they discovered that they actually made a mistake that there was a typo they
have the rock purcell number
and even though that happened
they decided to foreclose on him anyway
letting the worst thing about this to me is that when the mistake that this all
started in two thousand nine
and being wells fargo said that you know you have an impact and at the discovery
of a mistake was found in two thousand ten so talking assistant three years ago
that we found out about this man finally got his administrative hearing finally
was able to maybe get wells fargo to talk with him and he died in december
two thousand twelve at that hearing
his neighbors that support for this and it is
medical condition he had a rare blood clot disorder that you know made him
very sick at times and also could participating at times i said that the
stress of that was finally what killed him in the middle of his administrative
yeah in the middle of the hearing it's crazy now as i mentioned wells fargo did
discover that they made a mistake before they foreclose on his home in fact a
robert bailey
who is the lawyer for wells fargo said the following quote
wells fargo paid the amount to be determined was oblique
i think county assessor approximately ten thousand five hundred dollars this
was a mistake the ten thousand five hundred was the tax amount photo on the
neighboring property not the plane tickets
bailey added in september twenty ten wells fargo acknowledges aaron paying
the taxes on plaintiffs neighbors' property and corrected it
biben however at the last this was so far behind on his mortgage payments ron
pohl wrongfully doubled
by wells fargo
at the bank refuse to let him resume his one thousand two hundred thirty seven
dollar in sixty nine
accent
installments trujillo said he faced a sizable reinstatement cost which is
often the past due amount plus feeds
at first they didn't even let him know what the reinstatement cost wise
and they finally figured it out for d_n_a_ tolson
and they gave him twenty four hours to pay and what was the em out
three hundred thirty seven thousand two hundred fifty dollars and forty cents
twenty four hours
that's the cost of a home like that you have to pay the cost of a home
now one of the other things they mentioned uh... in this particular
report was that
both by his lawyer and he were unaware that the consumer products that now i'm
gonna mess up the money need consumer financial state products penitent
something coming out of this e p_s_a_ demanded that they didn't know that it
is available to them to help them through this process
right now and of course we know that the banks pay a lot of money to try to stop
it in its tracks to try to prevent it from starting altogether
and here we are again is the reason why we so desperately need
the c_p_i_ thing
yap it's incredible that
they've made the mistake
and it didn't matter in the end
they did not from as far as i know they don't face any consequences for what
they've done of course a timer face any consequences rents for any of this day
foreclosed on retired guy who
you know has the severe disability because of his blood clot issue
and un all he wanted to do was live in a condo he had you neighbors and friends
that said that he was just this great guy with a great sense of humor and he
was a la biting cynicism played by the rules he did everything he needed to do
so women on his life
and then incomes as bank they make a mistake and destroy everything
and they don't have to pay the consequences for it now l_a_ weekly
reached out to wells fargo to get a statement from them
mc is include radical in how cruel is ok this is what i have a sad
a given that there was no testimony of evidence to be presented at the hearing
there was no reason for mr atul asses to attend
and initially unfortunate that he was brought there
so you're gonna blame
they'll become for showing up to that he requires what would wells fargo did
otherwise they would have to admit that they did something wrong and i know that
they not only did they can't make a mistake but they also you know how did
this guy practically to his death in that respect as well it's it's it's that
type of tory lending that we have been time some really good at some very good
out here in america that we've made it possible for banks to
and after innocent people
and to destroy their lives
to really sad stories were a great day
it really has any you know that this is just one of many
you know people that were foreclosed on people who pay their mortgages but they
still got workload and still no banks no wood no bank employees no bank officer
no banking decade it has gone to jail and there have not really been any
significant changes
in our lies in congress except for the beer that supposed to protect consumers
which they've already trying to cut and will continue to try to get and probably
be fun
forever
