A woman in Tualatin, Ore., is breathing a sigh of relief after a three-year battle to prove Wells Fargo had wrongfully moved to foreclose on her home, saying she had missed mortgage payments. A judge ruled Wednesday that Wells Fargo failed to prove she was actually behind in her payments, which Delores Dingman, 80, attributes to the bank’s simple “accounting errors.” “I just praise God for it all because I kept praying so many times about this, because I knew I had made the payments, but their accounting errors made it hard,” she said. The judge heard six hours of testimony and then ruled to cancel the judicial foreclosure.
…
But her bank records show her mortgage payments have been deposited by Wells Fargo. Despite efforts to clear up the mistake and paying more than $12,000 in attorney fees, her home went into judicial foreclosure.
…
She continued to pay her monthly mortgage amount of more than $2,300 while paying her attorney, Terry McLaughlin, to help her clear up the mistake.
“There is going to be more litigation,” McLaughlin said, declining to comment further.
Wells Fargo said in a statement, “We are reviewing the court’s decision and considering all of our options at this time.”
Dingman said, “I’m very sorry to say I don’t feel confident in their accounting whatsoever.”
