1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Justice for Victims of Fraud Act of 2017 . 2. Findings Congress finds that— (1) the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection found that Wells Fargo management implemented sales incentives, including an incentive compensation program, in part to increase the number of banking products and services that its employees sold to its customers; (2) the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection found that Wells Fargo employees engaged in improper sales practices to satisfy sales goals under an incentive compensation program of Wells Fargo, including opening as many as 1,534,280 checking accounts and 565,443 credit card accounts using information of consumers without their knowledge or consent between May 2011 and July 2015; (3) Wells Fargo successfully claimed in Jabbari v. Wells Fargo & Co., No. 15-cv-02159-VC (N.D. Cal. Sept. 23, 2015) that customers had signed away their rights to hold Wells Fargo accountable in court for claims of fraud because those customers were bound to a forced arbitration clause for their legitimate accounts; (4) after Wells Fargo publicly entered a settlement with Federal regulators for the opening of thousands of unauthorized customer accounts, Wells Fargo claimed in Mitchell v. Wells Fargo Bank N.A., No. 16-00966 (D. Utah complaint filed Sept. 16, 2016) that the fraud claims of customers must continue to be forced into arbitration; (5) several courts have determined that despite claims of fraud over unauthorized accounts opened without customer knowledge or consent, those customers are still bound by contracts forcing those claims into arbitration based on the interpretation of courts of title 9, United States Code
