Houston Woman Says Lender Foreclosed On Her Twice By Mistake

In Houston, Texas, KVUE-TV reports:

• A Houston woman says Wells Fargo sold her home through foreclosure by mistake last summer, quickly corrected the error, then did the same thing again. Debra Cannon's story began with a divorce in 2007 when she fell behind on her payments and threats of foreclosure followed.

• "In August of 2009 they foreclosed on my home," she said. Cannon says she was in the process of working out a deal with her mortgage holder, Wells Fargo. But she says it was foreclosed on anyway. "They never really said, but it was an error due to Wells Fargo, and they did rescind -- they gave the money back to the man who bought the home," Cannon said.

• Cannon's relief was short lived. The foreclosure process began again -- but this time, she thought she had reached an agreement for loan modification and that ended with a knock at the door. "A gentleman came by and told me my home was foreclosed on and gave me a letter demanding I get out," she said.

• On April 6, Wells Fargo sold her home again through foreclosure. She said she was never notified and has a letter from the bank dated the same day of the foreclosure that states "a system error caused her to be deemed ineligible for the loan modification." "I didn't understand, after Wells Fargo told me everything was fine … I didn't understand it," she said.
