Class Claims Wells Fargo Forecloses Illegally

Recent Cases

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage illegally forecloses on homes by falsely accusing homebuyers who have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy of being delinquent on their mortgages, by falsely inflated amounts, by assessing "hundreds of millions of dollars" for illicit fees and debts that were already paid, and by ignoring and abusing the bankruptcy code and court orders, a class action claims in Federal Court.

"Wells Fargo's policies and practices are particularly deceptive," the complaint states, "insofar as they involve the (1) intentional concealment of the fact that Wells Fargo has not properly accounted for debtors' bankruptcy plans and payments, (2) deceptive demands for payment of debts that are not owed but are presented to the debtors as actually owed and (3) intentional concealment of added fees and expenses when in fact federal bankruptcy law requires Wells Fargo to make application for such fees and expenses to the bankruptcy court.

"These polices and practices are not the result of neglect or indifference but are deliberately unfair, oppressive, malicious and unconscionable. Such misconduct has been documented in this case and throughout the United States. In formulating and executing these policies, Well Fargo has shown its complete disrespect and disdain for the Code and its evident belief that it is above the law."

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
