Wells Fargo is one of the biggest banking institutions in the nation. They have tens of millions of customers across the nation, and offer numerous products to them, including home loans, credit cards, car loans, and other financial products. They also recently acquired Wachovia Bank, which was also one of the nation’s largest lenders.
From time to time a customer may need assistance to reduce or pay down their debts, get on track with their mortgage, or pay the bills. Especially when the national economy is weak the number of people seeking help from a Wells Fargo assistance program will increase.
The lender does offer its customer numerous resources to help them in times of difficulty. Some of the services include credit card debt assistance, mortgage delinquency and foreclosure prevention counseling, programs to settle or consolidate debts, assistance for paying car loans, and emergency funding to pay bills. Get information on what programs Wells Fargo administers, and learn how they can help you.
Both Wells Fargo and Wachovia are heavily involved in the mortgage market and have issued millions of home loans over the years. With the weak economy and housing market, hundreds of thousands of their customers need help with paying their mortgage, or preventing a foreclosure. Wachovia was also a major issuer of subprime and more risky mortgages, so the need for assistance is even greater with loans issued by them. Foreclosure is always the last option, so they offer counseling, prevention programs, loan modifications, and other assistance programs to homeowners.

Wells Fargo may write off up to 10% of their credit card accounts when the economy is weak. When they write off an account they usually receive little or no money from the borrower, so it is not their first choice. It is also bad for the borrower in now their credit rating will be decimated. So the bank’s first choice is to work with its customers on their credit card accounts, and they administer several programs to help do this. They offer credit card hardship programs, debt settlement, and consolidation options.
Debt management - The bank will have you partner with a credit counselor to work through debt issues that you may have.
Pay down debt - This assistance program involves the borrower taking out a personal loan to pay off other bills and reduce their debts.
