“Wells Fargo wants our customers to succeed financially and helping borrowers find the options to help them stay in their homes in this difficult economy is a top priority,” said David Galasso, Wells Fargo’s Northern and Central California regional president. “This workshop gives Wells Fargo and Wachovia home mortgage customers, who are faced with payment challenges, the opportunity to meet face-to-face with our home preservation specialists to explore and discuss the options available for them.”

Approximately 100 Wells Fargo home retention team members – including bilingual specialists – will be on hand at the upcoming workshop to assist customers. Where possible, borrowers will receive a decision on a workout, loan modification, or other options, on site or shortly following the workshop. Options include Wells Fargo’s own loan modification program and the federal government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). This will be the fourth scheduled workshop Wells Fargo will host in 2012. Wells Fargo has met with nearly 30,000 customers at 51 Home Preservation Workshops since Sept. 2009.

Following the Sacramento Home Preservation Workshop, Wells Fargo will hold the next workshops of 2012 in Fresno, Calif. (Feb. 23), Oakland, CA (March 8 - 9) and Los Angeles (March 14 - 15).
