Wells Fargo in another scandal, this time in auto lending

Scandal-plagued Wells Fargo is back in hot water for signing customers up for products that they didn’t need or want. This time it’s auto insurance, and the bank says it may have cost about 20,000 people their cars. San Franciscob­ased Wells Fargo acknowledg­ed that it enrolled roughly 570,000 auto loan borrowers for what’s known as collateral production insurance on their vehicles when the customers already had appropriat­e insurance. It will pay $80 million in refunds and account adjustment­s to those people. Nearly a year ago, Wells Fargo admitted that its employees opened up to 2 million accounts for customers without getting their permission in order to meet overly aggressive sales goals. The bank paid $180 million in fines and penalties and reached a settlement to pay an additional $142 million to customers through a class-action lawsuit.
