Wells Fargo Settlements in South Carolina: FAQs

If you held a Wells Fargo account during the specified settlement periods and experienced the issues outlined in each case, you likely qualify regardless of your South Carolina location. For the $56.85M CARES Act settlement, eligibility includes customers charged certain fees during pandemic forbearance periods, while the $33M subscription billing settlement covers customers charged for services they didn't authorize.
Do I need a South Carolina attorney to file a Wells Fargo class action claim?

Most settlements allow eligible customers to submit claims directly through online portals or mail-in forms. However, if you experienced significant individual damages beyond the class settlement amounts, consulting a South Carolina consumer protection attorney familiar with the state's Unfair Trade Practices Act may be beneficial.
How long do South Carolina residents have to file Wells Fargo settlement claims?
Claim deadlines vary by settlement and are set by federal courts, not South Carolina state law. Both the CARES Act and subscription billing settlements have specific filing deadlines that apply to all eligible customers nationwide. Missing these deadlines typically means forfeiting your right to compensation, so South Carolina residents should file promptly upon learning of their eligibility.
