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."

Processing Change for Certain Form I-730 Petitions
USCIS changed the processing location for certain Form I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition, filings. Previously the Service Center Operations Directorate processed these filings. Now, the International Adjudications Support Branch (IASB) in the Refugee, Asylum, and International Operations Directorate will process the petitions filed by individuals who were admitted to the United States as refugees. Petitioners and/or accredited representatives who file refugee-based Form I-730 petitions will receive further instructions when IASB receives their filings. Form I-730 petitions filed by persons granted asylum will not be affected by this change. The mailing instructions for Form I-730 remain the same. Petitioners should continue to follow the Where to File directions on the Form I-730 page. This policy update is consistent with the Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) Standard Occupational Classification system. DOL defines economists as people who conduct research, prepare reports, or formulate plans to address economic problems related to the production and distribution of goods and services or monetary and fiscal policy. Economists may collect and process economic and statistical data using sampling techniques and econometric methods.
