Wells Fargo to hold workshop on mortgage-loan modification

Wells Fargo Bank will hold its second workshop for homeowners seeking home-loan modifications, and Nevada President Kirk Clausen said the odds of getting help are good.

Last year, 53 percent of the 800 homeowners attending the workshop in Las Vegas were approved for a mortgage workout option, he said. Of those approved, 18 percent received help through the federal government's Home Affordable Modification Program but 70 percent benefited from the Wells Fargo mortgage modification program.

The program is for homeowners who make mortgage payments to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Wells Fargo Financial, Wachovia Mortgage and Wells Fargo Home Equity.

The workshops will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at the Tropicana conference center, 3801 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Reservations are recommended but not required. Visit wfhmevents.com/leadingthewayhome to register. Call 800-405-8067 for information.
