Wells Fargo Hit With Lawsuit From Hispanic Employees Over Lending Options

A group of current and former Hispanic employees of Wells Fargo & Co. is suing the bank, claiming employees on its bilingual team have been forced to offer predatory lending options to Spanish-speaking customers.

The lawsuit was filed June 30 in the Western District of Texas covering San Antonio, where Wells Fargo provides bilingual telephonic customer services to Spanish-speaking customers in the U.S. and globally.

The bank has an English-speaking group providing similar customer services.

The plaintiffs are Raul Garcia, Kevin Hinojosa, Patty Mora and Miguel Ramirez. They are requesting class-action status with “thousands” of potential participants.
