Well Fargo Foreclosure
Well Fargo Foreclosure:
Wells Fargo Financials and Home Mortgages are in news most of the times for wrong reasons. A subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, Wells Forgo Financials is generating well over one third of its revenue from mortgages foreclosures. And it is the stated principle of the company to sell all its products to customers. Wells Forgo Financials realized there were higher profit potentials in sub-prime lending and the advantages it had over other lenders and since then it is pushing it as a product. The predatory nature in which the loans are given out and shady dealings are bringing more homes to foreclosure.
Wells Forgo Financials aggressively sells sub-prime loans. A predatory loan is a secured loan given with the intention that when borrower fails in his or her payments the security be seized in order to sell it for a profit. Wells Forgo Financials’ sub-prime loans are above the prime lending rates by at least 0.3 to 0.6 %. It may be an innocuous figure in terms of percentages but can turn out to be thousands of dollars with respect to mortgages. Eventually this leads to foreclosures in most of the cases and invariably profiting Wells Forgo Financials.
The practice and attitude at Wells Forgo Financials is not found to be transparent. Thousands of mortgages from other lenders are found transferred to Wells Forgo improperly and some times without notifying borrowers. Queries regarding notices and wrong statements of payments (often wrongful overdue statements) are being disregarded. Allegations abound that Wells Forgo willfully conspires to foreclose homes fraudulently. And in order that they ensured borrowers from obtaining automatic stay and bankruptcy relief, they filed “Declaration of Default in Support of Order Granting Relief from Automatic Stay” in many cases.
Many non profit organizations and communities are running campaigns against Well Fargo Financials’ inept, wrong and predatory practices. ACORN is one such organization running in the forefront. ACORN is organizing people aggrieved by Wells Fargo Home Mortgages’ or Financials’ high cost predatory loans to fight united. To this end it is trying to educate gullible people.
