Wells Fargo Under Fire For 401(k) Rollover Practices

RPWB attorneys are investigating claims that Wells Fargo may have advised people rolling over their 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative investments in order to earn higher fees and commissions.

These 401(k) rollovers have caught the attention of federal regulators with the Department of Justice, Department of Labor and the Securities Exchange Commission, who are reportedly investigating.

RPWB attorneys are looking for assistance from current or former Wells Fargo customers who:

  • Rolled over their company-sponsored 401(k) into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with Wells Fargo
  • Were advised by a Wells Fargo employee to invest in certain alternative or non-traditional investments
  • Were advised by a Wells Fargo employee to invest in a Wells Fargo mutual fund
  • Put money into a managed investment account or into a fiduciary account (such as a trust fund)

If you rolled over your 401(k) into an IRA at Wells Fargo and/or a Wells Fargo employee advised you to invest in certain mutual funds or alternative investments, please call us at 1-866-344-8436 or fill out the form on this page.

You may be eligible for additional compensation by agreeing to be a class representative on behalf of other Wells Fargo customers.

    First three Abilify gambling cases settle

    In April, the makers of Abilify settled the first three bellwether cases that were scheduled to go to trial this past June.

    Judge M. Casey Rodgers also ordered both sides to begin work on the framework for a global settlement for the nearly 2,000 other Abilify cases pending in the Northern District of Florida. The deadline for the lawyers to report back is September 2018.

    People who developed the compulsion to gamble or excessively shop while taking Abilify should contact us immediately to begin a free case review. Because statutes of limitation dictate how quickly a lawsuit must be filed, there is a very short period of time to file a claim. Depending on where you live, that window to file may have even closed.

    RPWB attorneys represent Abilify users throughout the country who compulsively gambled or shopped. For more information, give us a call at 1-888-872-4086.

      • Device loosening
      • Bone loss
      • Poor range of motion
