Briefly

Lance Baird filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo after receiving a refund for float fees he claims he never agreed to during the mortgage origination process. The bank admitted to mistakenly charging such fees and sent cashier's checks to affected customers.

Seeking class action certification, the suit includes over 100 members, with potential damages exceeding $5 million. Wells Fargo has not commented on the matter.
