NEW Wells Fargo Class Action Filed Today
06/10/11 16:48
Today, I filed a second major class action against Wells Fargo relating solely to indisputably-issued home equity loan modifications that are alleged to violate the Texas Constitution in the ways discussed below. The case is Hawkins v. Wells Fargo Bank, Cause No. 1:11-cv-877LY, W.D.Tex. (Austin Div.). The complaint is available HERE.
This case is expected to differ from the Pennington v. Wells Fargo case in that I don't expect there to be a challenge over the fact that home equity loan modifications were issued. In Pennington, Wells Fargo has contended that the HAMP-type modifications were not loan modifications. The Hawkins case is expected to put that matter to rest. We believe the violations of the Texas Constitution homestead provisions to be very clear in the Hawkins case. Read More...
