Wells Fargo Mobilizes to Help Louisiana Customers Impacted by Floods
Wells Fargo Mobile Response Unit team to station in Denham Springs, LA to provide mortgage assistance, insurance claim check processing, and repair and recovery tips
BATON ROUGE, LA, September 7, 2016 /3BL Media/ – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) today announced the company will deploy its Mobile Response Unit to provide housing recovery assistance to Baton Rouge-area customers impacted by the recent flooding disaster.
The Wells Fargo Mobile Response Unit is located at 1020 South Range Ave. in Denham Springs, LA. Customers can receive in-person assistance from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday through September 16. Wells Fargo mortgage customers can also receive disaster assistance services at the company’s mortgage offices located in Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
“Our thoughts are with the communities impacted by the flooding in Louisiana and Mississippi,” said Hugh Rowden, Wells Fargo’s Government and Community Relations Director in the Southeast region. “We care and are concerned about our customers living in these communities, and our Mobile Response Unit is another way we can help them recover as quickly as possible.”
Wells Fargo’s Mobile Response Unit is a 75-foot, heavy-duty commercial “office on wheels” designed to bring valuable information after a disaster directly to Wells Fargo customers. The Mobile Response Unit has private offices and is equipped with computers, cellular data feed with satellite backup and is powered by self-contained generators. Specialized team members on board are prepared to provide in-person mortgage assistance, insurance claim check processing, and tips to start the repair and recovery process in the event the customer was impacted by the flood.
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage customers faced with payment challenges will also have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the company’s disaster assistance specialists to explore available options. Last year, Wells Fargo deployed its Mobile Response Unit to Houston after floods damaged thousands of homes in Texas.
Wells Fargo’s deployment of its Mobile Response Unit to the Baton Rouge-area follows the company making a $50,000 donation to support relief and recovery efforts by the American Red Cross-Louisiana Region.
