Do You Bank With Wells Fargo? You Could Be Entitled To Money From A Settlement

Author Melanie Day
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 20: A Wells Fargo bank signage is seen on Broadway on December 20, 2022 in New York City. Wells Fargo has agreed to pay $3.7 billion to settle charges that the bank harmed its customers by charging illegal fees and interest on auto loans and mortgages and incorrectly applied overdraft fees against savings and checking accounts. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered the bank to repay $2 billion to consumers and also enacted a $1.7 billion penalty.

Wells Fargo bank officials have agreed to a $3.7 billion settlement over mishandled accounts and loans. And a chunk of that money could be earmarked for you. That’s according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which says the banking giant has been found guilty of “illegal practices, including misapplied payments, wrongful foreclosures, and incorrect fees and interest charges.” More than 16 million accounts were affected, the bureau reports. Wells Fargo customers who had an account or loan with the bank between 2011 and 2022 may be eligible for a payout, per the CFPB. To find out if you’re eligible for a payment from the Wells Fargo settlement, call Wells Fargo at 844-484-5089, the bureau says.

These Are The Wealthiest Towns In North Carolina

Let’s face it we aren’t Silicon Valley or the Upper East Side of Manhattan. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t money in North Carolina. And with the lower cost of living here than in other areas, it can be easier to gain and maintain wealth.  Just look at some of the most expensive homes for sale just in Charlotte. There are some high price tags. And the rich, well they tend to hang out with other wealthy individuals. The Oxford Dictionary defines wealth as “an abundance of valuable possessions or money”. I typically think of wealth as the type of money that spans generations. Regardless the wealthiest towns in North Carolina are those with the highest median household income and home values. Our friends over at Suburbs101.com compiled a list of the 9 Wealthiest Towns in North Carolina. Some of these I’d classify more as suburbs but you still get the point.

Below you will find a list of the wealthiest towns and suburbs as reported by Suburbs101.com. The information presented in this article is based on data from the US Census American Community Survey and the rankings are based on median household income. You can read their full study here.
