I'm not sure why anyone would consider doing business with Wells Fargo at this point. You say you don't care about corporate ethics? I can understand that to a degree. You don't care about illegal activity? That's fair, I've dealt with companies that have done illegal things in the past as well.

But looking at this from purely a, "is their business a good deal," standpoint, a bank that defrauds their customers fails that test.

Quote from soloshv :
3k a month and it's not high at all. 3K a month is 36K after tax, or 50-55K before tax. that's not "high". in large cities that's not even enough to live on your own anymore. at 55K pre tax, it would take me like 600 years to pay off my school loan. and i would imagine that wells fargo is not the least bit interested in people who make less because they can't make money off them.

i'm not trying to be mean, just telling you how it is.
Well high/low is all relative to a person's income. For a billionaire, even a $100k income would seem low. For a person making minimum wage, $52k would seem high and $100k income would be rich in their perspective. I was only making my comment earlier since I have friends who dont make $52k and wont qualify and it is unfortunate that they won't be able to get this easy $400.

I make quite a bit over $52k so I will definitely sign up for this. I was just looking out for my friends.

But like I said.. high/low is all relative.. not sure if there is really much to argue over... at the end of the day, someone will get this easy $400 and some wont.

Quote from AcemanX :
There's no way on earth your mortgage interest is anywhere near 71%
Ok, go to the link, enter 100,000 for the Mortgage amount

Next enter 30 years

Next enter 4 percent

See the total interest at 71 grand? That's the percentage... 71

Change the interest rate to whatever you want to see the actual percent.

Quote from Mitch22 :
For people that say Buffett doesn't own Wells, his Berkshire Hathaway is the #1 shareholder, and you can bet you ass he knows and approves of everything that goes on there.

Not defending Buffet, but just because his company owns a large stake (about 10% I believe) in a bank stock does not make him directly responsible for their management or somehow give him oversight of it. That said, I am sure he is not morally offended by their behavior and I am equally sure he does not lose any sleep over it either. However, that does no make him any worse than any other person who owns WF stock either directly or indirectly as part of a fund or 401k. Berkshire is not investing in the stock for any other reason than anyone else does, namely to make money on the assumption its price will go up. There is no moral attachment to that imo.

So what? Over 30 years, what would you expect the total interest to be over the lifetime of a long term loan? All mortgages are like that which is why you can save quite a bit of money over the period\reduce the term quite a bit by simply making an extra payment a year directly to principal. A bank makes loans to make money, not to be altruistic. 4% is not an unreasonable rate of interest on a long term loan when you consider they can get a 30 year gov bond at 3%. Credit cards is where the banks rip everyone off imo.

Yeah, you're right, but I guarantee everybody on the board is on a first name basis with him and don't cough without his permission. The major holders list doesn't say how much Buffett owns personally, but he could direct Berkshire to dump Wells, which would make the stock tank and me suddenly love him. For a few seconds.

Regardless though, Buffett is just a worthless waste with no ethics or morals, like all the club members such as Bill Gates etc... They hide behind the media Virtue BS, but it's easy to figure them out. If Buffett had any ethics, he would have dumped Wells a long time ago with all their scandals.

4 percent, AKA 71 percent is not unreasonable? That's okay with you?

Why do you defend that?

Oh, by the way, that's not how Wells operates... Paying extra doesn't reduce the loan time period. It SHOULD reduce it by 7 years or so, but Wells still shows 30 years for mine after 4 years of paying extra.

They refuse to correct it... Big surprise.

Lots of hate for Wells Fargo which seems to be warranted but not much discussion on the deal itself....its been voted down due to it being Wells Fargo but i think the deal is good and very little effort for $400

I do not necessarily disagree with you wrt Buffet's influence as I am sure he gets his calls answered by the WF CEO and can make his displeasure felt if he so desired. Not sure how many (if any) of his BH cronies are on the WF Board either. But that is far different than being the CEO, CFO, etc. of WF. They are the ones that allow and\or foster a culture of corruption and the ones responsible for it.

Well if you seriously think 4% is too high a rate then you are not living in the real world imo. No bank is going to give anyone a mortgage for much less if they can just go get 3% without risk elsewhere. Why should they? That is delusional imo. Why would you loan a person money at 1% for ex., when you can put it in the bank and get 2%? The market determines rates.

As for Wells not taking your pre-payments off of principal, assuming your state even allows that and assuming you directed them to take it off of principal, then you should seek out an attorney imo. Personally I would never do any business with that bank and would never want them holding a loan but mortgages are often sold between banks so it may not be avoided in all cases.

Right, but all that Buffett says is "Try not to get caught next time."

Are you completely skipping the 71 percent actual on purpose?

Even if the rate was 2%, they would still be banking 33% over the course of 30 years...

While I obviously hate Rich White Bankers, not because they are rich, but how they get rich, my main hatred is for Congress, who haven't done a thing for us in almost every area, but speaking of Banking, since the Federal Reserve was birthed 106 years ago.
