Good Morning Family, Do you have a mortgage with Wells Fargo or know someone that does? If so this is something you should take immediate action on. Two black homeowners have initiated a class action lawsuit here in California against Well Fargo, America's second largest lender. (see http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?type=bondsNews&storyID=2007-07-31T193123Z_01_N31251892_RTRIDST_0_WELLSFARGO-DISCRIMINATION-LAWSUIT.XML) It is a proven fact that (on average) Blacks are charged higher interest rates then whites across this country. With all the talk in the media about the collapse of the housing market because of sub-prime loans, many of us are looking for a place to turn...why not the courts. In a 2006 study, the Center for Responsible Lending found that when creditworthiness and credit risk were equal, African-Americans were still 31 percent to 34 percent more likely to receive higher rate, more expensive sub-prime loans than Caucasians. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition revealed that lenders on average made high-cost sub-prime loans to higher-qualified These and other studies demonstrate that African-American homeowners are paying higher mortgage interest rates than their Caucasian counterparts. The law firm of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins is looking for others who feel that they were charge excessively high interest rates and/or points by Wells Fargo and/or their subsidiaries. Is this you, or a member of your family?

A lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class action status against the second largest US mortgage lender alleging racial discrimination towards clients. The lawsuit was filed in US District Court for the Northern District of California and claims San Francisco based Wells Fargo discriminates against black homeowners in how it sets rates and fees. The complaint accuses Wells Fargo of marking up interest rates or adding fees for black borrowers seeking mortgages after agreeing to lend, based on criteria such as credit histories and home values. Homeowners claim such acts violated the federal Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The case seeks to make Wells Fargo halt any racially biased lending practices, improve employee training, reimburse unfair charges, and pay punitive damages. Wells Fargo & Co.
