'They destroyed me.' Wells Fargo's mistake forced her to sell her home.

The bank improperly denied help to nearly 900 homeowners. Here’s one woman's story.

Michaela Christian lost a long battle with Wells Fargo in 2013 to save her Las Vegas home, a defeat she says changed the course of her life. When the bank refused to modify her mortgage, Christian moved in with a friend and scrambled to rebuild her life.

Five years later, Wells Fargo admits it made a mistake. Christian, 46, qualified for the kind of mortgage help that may have saved her home after all.

It is a mistake the giant bank admits it made nearly 900 times over several years, pushing hundreds of distressed homeowners into foreclosure.

Christian said when she learned of Wells Fargo’s error, “I was sick to my stomach.”

“They destroyed me and destroyed my everything.”

I am sick to death of banks like this making mistakes. Let them pay 100 times each time one of these happens and I bet they stop very fast.
