WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 Hoy, el Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley anunci\u00f3 que se uni\u00f3 a 14 de sus colegas para presentar legislaci\u00f3n, la Ley de Justicia para las V\u00edctimas de Fraude de 2016<\/i>, para dar a los clientes de Wells Fargo que fueron v\u00edctimas de una estafa de cuenta fraudulenta su d\u00eda en la corte. Wells Fargo est\u00e1 utilizando las cl\u00e1usulas de arbitraje forzoso que ocult\u00f3 en la letra peque\u00f1a de los contratos que los clientes firmaron cuando abrieron cuentas leg\u00edtimas para evitar que los clientes de Wells Fargo con cuentas abiertas de manera fraudulenta que fueron perjudicados se unan y lleven a Wells Fargo a los tribunales.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLo que hizo Wells Fargo fue escandaloso\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cAbrir millones de cuentas fraudulentas fue una traici\u00f3n asombrosa a la confianza de sus clientes y tuvo un costo real para muchos consumidores. Ya sea que se trate de tarifas fraudulentas o de una puntuaci\u00f3n de cr\u00e9dito falsamente da\u00f1ada, los consumidores deben tener todos los recursos posibles cuando se trata de estas infracciones, especialmente porque los clientes nunca aceptaron estos contratos para cuentas que se crearon sin su conocimiento. Wells Fargo no deber\u00eda poder esconderse detr\u00e1s de letra peque\u00f1a y tecnicismos para escapar de su d\u00eda en la corte\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Las cl\u00e1usulas de arbitraje forzoso pueden evitar que los consumidores comunes lleven a las empresas a los tribunales para obtener una reparaci\u00f3n legal y, en cambio, ponen en desventaja a las v\u00edctimas de irregularidades al obligar a sus reclamos a pasar por un proceso de arbitraje. Este proceso de arbitraje a menudo se acumula en su contra, ya que el arbitraje generalmente lo brindan empresas privadas a las que pagan las empresas acusadas de irregularidades.<\/span><\/p>\n

El Ley de Justicia para las V\u00edctimas de Fraude de 2016<\/i> <\/i><\/b>trabajar\u00eda mano a mano con un nueva regla de supervisi\u00f3n<\/span><\/a> que la Oficina de Protecci\u00f3n Financiera del Consumidor (CFPB) puso en marcha en mayo para fortalecer la protecci\u00f3n de los consumidores. Mientras que la propuesta de CFPB se aplicar\u00eda a nuevos contratos en el futuro, este proyecto de ley permitir\u00eda a las v\u00edctimas del fraude de Wells Fargo buscar su d\u00eda en los tribunales incluso si firmaron contratos que incluyeron arbitraje para sus cuentas leg\u00edtimas en el pasado.<\/span><\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley est\u00e1 patrocinado por el senador estadounidense Sherrod Brown (D-OH) y copatrocinado por los senadores estadounidenses Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Patty Murray (D-WA), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Jack Reed (D- RI), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Robert Casey (D-PA), Jon Tester (D-MT), Mark Warner (D-VA), Al Franken (D-MN), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) y Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), adem\u00e1s de Merkley.<\/span><\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley ha sido respaldado por la Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense por la Justicia, la Uni\u00f3n de Consumidores, la Asociaci\u00f3n Nacional de Defensores del Consumidor, el Centro Nacional de Derecho del Consumidor (en nombre de sus clientes de bajos ingresos), Americans for Financial Reform, el Centro para Pr\u00e9stamos Responsables, el Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Media Voices for Children, Allied Progress, Woodstock Institute, Franciscan Action Network, Economic Policy Institute Center, California Reinvestment Coalition, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, National Consumers League y Justicia Publica.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
