American, Delta, Frontier Under Fire Wells Fargo’s New Settlement

2017 has been quite the tumultuous year for the airline industry. It seems that Frontier, Delta and American have not been on their best behavior according to the US DOT. Frontier will pay $400,000 for violating oversales and disability rules, American $250,000 for failing to make timely refunds to passengers, and Delta will pay $200,000 for filing inaccurate baggage reports.

According the the DOT’s statement, Frontier also failed to provide passengers with give bumped passengers written notice of their rights. Frontier was also found in violation of the DOT’s overbooking rules. After getting over 200 complaints from passengers, the DOT found substantial evidence of rule violations including rules covering disabled passengers.

Teavana’s Closing

After buying Teavana close to 5 years ago, Starbucks announced the closing of all Teavana locations. Starbucks will keep distributing Teavana drinks in grocery stores as well as selling the brand’s teas and brewed products in its cafes.

The customers who were charged for car insurance had auto loans with Wells Fargo between 2012 and this year. Wells Fargo auto loans require borrowers to have comprehensive and collision insurance for their cars. The contract also allows Wells Fargo to buy insurance on customer’s behalf if they fail to buy it themselves.

While Teavana products are now for sale in every Starbucks cafe, including fruit-infused iced teas, the company announced this week that it will be closing the remaining Teavana retail stores over the coming year.

As a result, a large amount of customers had their vehicles repossessed. Those customers will receive more money in the settlement than other affected customers. Wells Fargo allotted $16 million for this group, which works out to an average refund of $800. Wells Fargo said it will work with credit bureaus to correct errors in customers’ credit records caused by the insurance scandal.

American Airline’s violated DOT regulations with regards to processing refunds. Airlines must provide a refund seven days after receiving all

If you live in certain states like Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee and Washington - Wells Fargo may have also failed to properly notify customers about the additional insurance charges. Those 60,000 customers will get about $39 million. Over 500,000 customers were affected, look out for a letter from Wells Fargo which are going out now.
