Wells Fargo has promised to make amends to the customers it forced to buy car insurance that they didn’t need. Allan Dunlap, a former Wells Fargo borrower who spent months trying to get the bank to correct an insurance error that marred his credit report, says he’ll believe it when he sees it.
Some 800,000 people were affected by the Wells Fargo auto insurance dealings, according to an in-depth analysis commissioned by the bank. The expense of the unneeded insurance, which covered collision damage, propelled 274,000 bank customers into delinquency and resulted in almost 25,000 wrongful vehicle repossessions.
