Judge grants Wells Fargo summary judgment in credit-card debt case
Summary
In Wells Fargo Bank v. Elon Bommani, the court granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment after finding the bank provided verification of the debt and account statements; judgment entered for $16,217.20 plus costs and capped attorney's fees of $800.
WELLS FARGO BANK v. ELON BOMMANI — Dec. 3, 2025 — Clayton County State Court, Judge Tammy Long Hayward presiding.
Wells Fargo sought summary judgment in a consumer-credit case; counsel Paresh Maharaj presented account statements, a business-records affidavit, and a verification letter the bank said had been mailed April 29, 2025. Defendant Elon Bommani, appearing pro se, said she had requested verification earlier and initially did not receive the verification but then acknowledged receipt when the clerk displayed the file during the hearing.
After review of the filings and the verification exhibits, the court found there was no genuine issue of material fact and granted summary judgment for principal of $16,217.20 plus $307.11 in court costs and $800 in capped attorney’s fees as requested by the creditor. The judge signed the proposed order submitted by plaintiff’s counsel and directed the clerk to enter judgment.
Why it matters: The ruling is a typical example of summary judgment in debt-collection cases where business records and verification letters meet the plaintiff’s burden absent a substantive factual dispute from the defendant.
