Wells Fargo will pay $33 million to settle a lawsuit over deceptive billing schemes linked to unauthorized subscriptions.Summary
Wells Fargo has agreed to a $33 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging the bank facilitated deceptive billing practices. The lawsuit claims Wells Fargo assisted companies like Apex, Triangle, and Tarr in enrolling consumers in unwanted monthly subscriptions for products such as e-cigarettes, dietary supplements, and beauty items, often disguised as “free trials.”
To be eligible for a payment, individuals must have been enrolled in recurring payments through these companies between 2009 and the present day and not have already received a refund from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for the same charges. Claimants seeking over $20 must provide documentation like bank statements or order confirmations.
The deadline to submit a claim form is March 4, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for March 26, 2026. Payment amounts will vary based on the total number of claims and whether documentation is submitted, with potential payments up to $20 for those with proof of losses.
