Wells Fargo Subscription Fees Settlement: What You Need to Know

What Was the Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit claimed that Wells Fargo helped some companies—specifically Apex, Triangle, and Tarr—run a scheme through “free trial” offers. These companies sold things like beauty products, health supplements, and e-cigarettes.
When people signed up for a free sample, they ended up being enrolled in expensive monthly subscriptions—often without their permission.
The lawsuit said that Wells Fargo allowed these companies to set up special bank accounts and move millions of dollars through them, even though the activity was questionable.
However, Wells Fargo did not admit to any legal wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
Who Can Get Money From the Settlement?
The settlement might benefit you if:
- You live in the United States.
- You were enrolled in recurring, monthly charges by any of the companies—Tarr, Triangle, or Apex—from 2009 to the present.
- You have not already received a refund for this from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
How Much Money Could You Receive?
How much you get depends on what proof you have:
- If you have receipts: If you can submit documents like bank statements, credit card statements, or email receipts that show these charges, you can get a share of the settlement based on your total losses.
- If you don’t have receipts: You can still receive a fixed payment—up to $20—if you claim you were impacted, even if you cannot provide proof.
What Should You Do Next?
If you think you might qualify, look for more details about how to file a claim once the settlement is finalized and the claims process is open. It’s a good idea to check your records for charges from any of the companies mentioned.
