Changes to payment plans that are in bankruptcy require court approval. Wells Fargo reportedly did not obtain that approval prior to making modifications to home loans. These adjustments to mortgages would lower a person’s monthly payments, but in order to lower the monthly payment, Wells Fargo would allegedly extend the life of the mortgage, thereby increasing the total amount they were paid over the life of the loan, due to interest.
