Doug et al, I believe Wells Fargo may be representative of the current practices that banks are doing ostensibly and secretly. IMO, banks are aggressively promoting annuities to customers, which are not insured by FDIC, because of the higher interest earnings than CDs and money market accounts. At the same time, the banks are not financially liable if the annuities fail. Typically, these annuities are offered by insurance companies through the banks. Within the past year, Wells Fargo sold its financial branch which offered these annuities from insurance companies. Wells Fargo has completely dropped the financial branch and the accompanying annuities from its books. So, the caveat is: beware of banks offering higher interests for financial instruments that are not insured by the FDIC. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : "Wells Fargo CEO To Forfeit Tens Of Millions.."

One possible scenario. Warren Buffett is a major shareholder of WF, and he indicated he would not have anything to say on the matter until November, so I suppose he might be making his feelings known. I am guessing there might be skepticism on the part of many here that he could act in an ethical way, but I have observed that he insists on a pretty high standard for those that work for him, and to whatever extent possible, his investments. He avoids controversy whenever possible. He did fire his second in command, heir apparent, after what was seen to be an ethical lapse several years ago. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : "Wells Fargo CEO To Forfeit Tens Of Millions.."

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wells Fargo May Be Cheating You
I've told my WF story before except I didn't say it was WF. What happened was when I bought this house in 2000 that an amount for settling the supplemental tax was withheld. It was part of the mortgage agreement. A supplemental tax means that the prior homeowner was paying less in tax due to California Prop 13 than I would be paying. However it takes the assessor's office a while to catch up with that and the difference needs to be paid up. A few months later I got a letter from WF which seemed to confer that had been settled and the remainder could be applied to my next payment. Actually it hadn't been settled and about 4 years later I get this letter from the assessors office saying that it was a last ditch effort to contact me or the house would be turned over for auction for back taxes. Seems they had been sending notices to my old address (and after 6 months does not get forwarded). So I contacted all parties involved who pointed fingers at each other. I had a heated argument over the phone with the WF case worker who was hell bent on stone walling it. Anyway WF paid off the owner amount but then I had to pay that off over installments. Yup, maybe if I wanted to push things a bit in court I could have at least made them pay penalty. Also my real estate agent said I might have been able to get the assessor's office to drop the penalty or at least reduce it due to the circumstances. The problem was that in 2000 when you signed the paperwork at the title office you got unsigned copies. There was a one page document that said WF would be responsible for the supplemental. But the rub was that in the heat of lower interest mortgage loans WF contacted me in 2003 to see if I wanted to refinance at a lower rate. It was an easy refinance with a contract in readable English except for the two government pages (they'll never learn). My neighbor notarized it. What WF said later was they destroyed the first mortgage documents because of the second so there was no way to prove they were responsible for supplemental. Shifty eh? A couple years back I sold the house my sister and brother-in-law lived in as they needed to move on to a retirement community. I held the title on the house. In our Internet age all the paperwork was handled online through a electronic signing service. In fact I never even met the real estate agent in person. We handled just about everything online. Not only did I have copies of the signed documents I could download from the service but the title company also sent a CD with the title documents. Somewhere in the past 16 years they've learned that just giving the home buyer the unsigned documents would not work.

It is just borne out of frustration. So often I have seen a simple request like this turn into a much bigger deal. Doesn't make any sense. With BOA deal, the amount of time their lawyer spent to resolve this matter, for the small amount I received was staggering.

Steve, We have to commend your efforts for taking on the big banks to court. That will give them a lesson not to push the customers around. Next time, they could resolve any problems with the customers before they get to court. With Wells Fargo, I hope that this news exposure about their toxic practices will change their management policies for their own corporate health and the safety of their customers' money. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : Here's a funny story, I don't think I've told before.
