Wells Fargo in trouble again, again and again.
In an article published by Housingwire, author Ben Lane, Wells Fargo announced that it will pay $108 million to the federal government to settle allegations that the bank overcharged military veterans for refinance loans.
Specifically, the issue relates to a lawsuit from 2006 that claimed some Department of Veterans Affairs Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans originated by Wells Fargo should not have been eligible for VA guarantees due to the bank allegedly collecting unauthorized fees with the loans.

Under the agreement, Wells Fargo denies the allegations in the lawsuit but will pay $108 million to the government to resolve the claims, the bank said in a statement issued Friday. Where exactly this penalty will be paid to, the VA or some other branch of the Federal government, is not yet clarified.
