● Actual damages including emotional distress damages. This category of 

damages is considered unliquidated and normally does not require Plaintiffs to 

list a specific amount. However, Garcias’ Counsel is putting Wells Fargo on 

notice they intend to request the jury in this case award at least $20,000,000 in 

compensatory damages in this case. 

● While punitive damages are also considered unliquidated and usually do not 

require disclosure of the amount to be sought for the same reason as general 

compensatory damages, the Garcias’ counsel is putting Wells Fargo on notice 

they intend to seek an award of at least $100,000,000 in punitive damages in

this case. That number is a minimum and is subject to sharp upward revision as 

discovery continues. 

Discovery has now revealed that Wells Fargo could have completely avoided 

the Garcias losing their home. Had Wells Fargo complied with the terms of the 

2011 consent decree, then the Garcias would not have lost their home. This 

entire calamity visited upon the Garcia family was completely avoidable. 

Instead, Wells Fargo ignored their obligations under the consent decree. Wells 

Fargo took no actions to prevent or mitigate any further needless harms to 

consumers. Wells Fargo continued to pursue foreclosure sales, confirmations, 

entry of personal deficiency judgments, and obtaining orders of possession all 

while knowing Wells Fargo’s foreclosure processes were failing and harming 

consumers. 

This compounded the magnitude of needless harm the Garcias suffered due to 

Wells Fargo’s callous disregard for the consumers Wells Fargo needlessly 

harmed. If Wells Fargo had taken their obligations under the consent decree 

seriously, then the Garcia family would have been spared this entire ordeal. 

Instead, the Garcia family’s entire existence was shattered and remains forever 

changed due to Wells Fargo’s callous indifference to the consumer harm its 

conduct has caused. 

Wells Fargo’s documents infer that Wells Fargo was prepared to pay almost a 

billion dollars to resolve this issue if consumers were willing to litigate. Instead, 

Wells Fargo has escaped any financial punishment for this wrongdoing. Wells 

Fargo has resolved its class litigation as well as its regulatory exposure on the 

cheap. This case represents the last opportunity for a jury to punish Wells Fargo 

for this wrongdoing. 

● Legal fees for preparing/filing/prosecuting this action: Plaintiff has incurred 

more than $279,000 in legal fees to date in the prosecution of this matter. The 

amount of these damages will continue to grow as this matter continues.

● Costs for Instant Action: Plaintiff has incurred $639.69 in costs to date related 

to the instant action including but not limited to the filing of the Complaint.

4. Specifically identify and describe any insurance or other agreement under which an 

insurance business or other person or entity may be liable to satisfy all or part of a possible 

judgment in the action or to indemnify or reimburse a party for payments made by the party to 

satisfy the judgment. You may produce a copy of the agreement with your response instead of 

describing it.

ANSWER: Not applicable to Plaintiff.
