About XX/XX/2008, our tenants at our property at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL. XXXX continued to be late on their rent, as usual. As a result, we could no longer cover the mortgage payment to Wells Fargo. We called and requested to do a short sale on the property. I followed all instructions and supplied them with mountains of paperwork that they requested. In XXXX 2008 they delievered the Notice of Default to the tenants and told them they had XXXX days to move out, which they did without paying another rent payment. I coomunicated with Wells Fargo in attempting to sell the home and avoid foreclosure. I called and spoke with XXXX at Wells Fargo ( in the loss mitigation department ) on XXXX XXXX, 2008 reaffirming that we wanted to avoid a foreclosure, either by short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure. She assured me they wanted me to complete the short sale and they did not want to foreclose. But I reminded her they had a court date of XXXX XXXX and I did n't want anything bad to happen on that date. She assured me it was not a sale date and they would postpone or cancel it because I was trying to do a short sale. She even sent me a letter on Wells Fargo letterhead detailing all of this information, that they wanted me to do a short sale and then she signed her name. Well, about two weeks later they foreclosed. What a bunch of liars. How are you supposed to work with a company that pulls this kind of stunt? We had a sizable down payment when we purchased this home just XXXX years earlier. And all of the money that we spent to update the home, all gone because they are liars. My first missed payment was XXXX XXXX they served my tenants with the Notice of Default in XXXX 2008 and then they foreclosed in XXXX of 2008. A total of XXXX months from start to finish. I wonder how much quicker they would have foreclosed on someone that was n't trying to work with them?
