How Does the Wells Fargo Payment to Colorado Affect You?
According to an article in the Denver Post, Wells Fargo has agreed to pay $24,000,000 to eight states, Colorado being one of these states because some of their ARM rates were deceptive in nature and caused some consumers to default on their mortgages. I have to ask the question, as a bankruptcy attorney, if practices formulated in a bank’s marketing department can cause people to lose their homes, who is left picking up the pieces for these poor individuals who were the victims of this program?
Unfortunately, bankruptcy attorneys such as myself, are the ones who must pick up the pieces. There are many bad contracts people can enter into. Bad mortgages, bad cell phone plans, bad medical contracts, bad rental agreements, bad car loans…. the list is almost endless. Often people are tricked into these deals with low initial rates or promises of relief with aggressive up charges buried in the fine print. People often need a second chance because of these predatory contractual arrangements. In these circumstances, it feels good to be a bankruptcy attorney in Fort Collins. I can help relieve these victims of debt incurred through predatory or at best, veiled promises from creditors.
