Wells Fargo is the alleged Senior lender. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the Alleged junior lender. Alleged to have acquired the XXXX Home Equity line of Credit in XXXX. 
On the statement date of XX/XX/XXXX states XXXX XXXX from XXXX, and sold the loan by Wells Fargo. Then on XX/XX/XXXX charge XXXX XXXX Charge Number XXXX XXXX Wells Fargo filed foreclosure. On XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo alleges that the loan was paid off. On XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo suddenly dismisses the lawsuit which is the second foreclosure lawsuit Wells Fargo has dismissed on the home since XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX A payoff statement was ordered from alleged to be XXXX  XXXX XXXX. Wells Fargo sends a letter to me in XX/XX/XXXX stating congratulations the loan was paid off with a release of mortgage. Wells Fargo has never disclosed how the loan was paid off or why the Foreclosure was dismissed. I had an attorney at the time who I was paying a monthly bill to help me save my home. I thought all the loans on the home were paid off after my wife passed away on XX/XX/XXXX through the probate of a wrongful death. However, a XXXX Home Equity line of Credit was taken out in XX/XX/XXXX. My Last payment was in XXXX with the real mortgage company XXXX before they closed in XXXX. Out of nowhere a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX alleges to have received assignment from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX which is about 6 years after my last payment. XXXX  XXXX XXXX was calling me asking me to send documents regarding a previous loan with XXXX which I did not understand why. 
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX filed a foreclosure on the home without my knowledge or being served in any lawsuit. Wells Fargo filed a foreclosure XX/XX/XXXX. When I found about it the foreclosure with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX it was XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX stated to have no record of the home or involvement with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It appears that XXXX  XXXX XXXX using the name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX as a decoy to hide XXXX XXXX XXXX from any involvement or liability with the foreclosure lawsuit. In the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I also discovered that documents were forged in my name as if I made appearances in court when I was working at the VA at the time. Then I hired an attorney on XX/XX/XXXX after that and not sure what happened next until now. 
Wells Fargo Alleged to have sold the loan in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Wells Fargo claims it was paid off on XX/XX/XXXX it can not be both. XXXX XXXX XXXX is alleging that it paid off the loan from Wells Fargo. When it was alleged to already been sold off. XXXX XXXX XXXX instead alleged to have consolidated the loan to avoid Wells Fargo foreclosure on the home that would have wiped any second liens on the title. I dont believe any loan was actually paid off to Wells Fargo XXXX Wells Fargo or XXXX XXXX XXXX is refusing to produce any payment information or wire transfer as to who, when, why or where this alleged payment was made. Now XXXX XXXX XXXX is claiming that it alleged to have paid off the loan, and added Wells Fargo loan to the old XXXX loan. I never knew anything about this at all. I have never signed anything or applied for any, new loans, refinance, loan modifications, Deed, in lieu, forbearance or reverse mortgage, confirming consolidating anything with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. Nor have I applied for loans above with any other lenders regarding the home. XXXX  XXXX XXXX claims to have been paying extra home insurance on the home, Taxes, Wells Fargo transferred loan adding taxes to this amount. The amount Im alleged to owe with XXXX XXXX XXXX is over XXXX on a home that is under water and worth less than XXXX. This is fraud, because I did not do any of this. Im being harassed by XXXX XXXX XXXX for money that I do not rightfully owe. I also recently discovered that Wells Fargo in XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX removed my name on the loan documents, and placed my former attorneys name to receive my loan billing statements. In the end my attorney claims to not know anything. Then later my former Attorney stated that he thinks XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX paid it off. I was never informed by my former attorneys that anything was paid off for me to have to pay it later with another lender, or servicer. Wells Fargo had me sign a loan Modification that originated by XXXX XXXX XXXX  VA loan that I had on the home in XXXX. The loan was alleged to be acquired by Wells Fargo in XXXX. However, this can not be confirmed. Because XXXX XXXX XXXX  Received Government Assistance Failed on XX/XX/XXXX. The loan was created in XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. VA secured loan. In XXXX Wells Fargo pressured me to sign a loan Modification changing those terms of the original loan from a VA loan to a regular Mortgage without informing me of that. XXXX, XXXX also did not get any approval from the VA to change the terms of the loan which was higher well above my income amount. Which now have me in the situation XXXX in today. Then soon after the loan Modification was completed a Bank called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX filed a foreclosure less than 30 days later after alleged to have signed a subordination agreement with Wells Fargo. 
Now Im in a process to be evicted from my home by alleged to be XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is using the name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to Evict me from my home. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX also allege that I owe over XXXX to them that I know nothing about as well. I feel I have been a victim of XXXX XXXX abuse, consumer fraud and fair debt collections act practices and mortgage foreclosure scam by hired law firm. It does appear that XXXX  XXXX XXXX and Wells Fargo were working together as this is connected with the National Mortgage Settlement ( XXXX ). Wells Fargo filed the first foreclosure on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Illinois XXXX XXXX. I was also informed that the alleged judgment by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is invalid. The Eviction case on the home is XXXX. However, the eviction case was dismissed in XX/XX/XXXX. Whomever is working with alleged XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is still trying to pursue the Eviction case despite being dismissed for want to prosecute on XX/XX/XXXX. The Eviction case was not refiled within XXXX year or vacated. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is Threatened to sue me for debt not owed. I also have reason to believe that additional lawsuits have been filed against me By XXXX XXXX XXXX or Alleged XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that Im not aware of. Nor was I served by anyone regarding any new lawsuits. Seeking assistance with this matter. Wells Fargo filed a foreclosure XX/XX/XXXX. I hired an attorney in XX/XX/XXXX after that and not sure what happened next until now. Wells Fargo Alleged to have sold the loan in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Wells Fargo claims it was paid off on XX/XX/XXXX it can not be both. 
This XXXX  XXXX XXXX statement says that I made payments when I have not made any of these payments to XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I feel that someone took out a loan in my name and identity with XXXX XXXX XXXX for me to pay it back later which is fraud. Im also a victim of identity theft as well since XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX - This a document that was Submitted to the XXXX with false claims that the home was vacant. When the home was not Vacant to have me restricted from accessing the home and my property removed from the home. Despite a wrongfully filed Eviction case against the home during the Illinois Eviction moratorium in the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Who is really XXXX XXXX XXXX? 
XXXX XXXX has been harassing us at the home and her husband for years. I have proof that she has been disparaging us with random people while claiming to be the realtor of the bank. Then she seems to not be sure what bank she is alleged to be working with. But have uploaded old outdated documents from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The Vacancy document has XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on it as well. This is wire transfer fraud scam that wired money to my former attorney for a settlement that I did not receive any money from. This is not about the false statements by Wells Fargo claiming the loan was paid off. The loan was forgiven for wrongdoing by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is working with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX as well. The amount that was alleged to be paid to Wells Fargo from XXXX  XXXX XXXX are totally different payment amounts. XXXX  XXXX XXXX has XXXX amount and Wells Fargo has another amount which is clearly fraud. Any payoff amount has to contain the exact same amount paid out and received. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX wants me to pay them back money that was never paid to Wells Fargo loan. Nor did I confirm anything for XXXX  XXXX XXXX to pay off any Wells Fargo loan. Please look at the loan documents with my Former attorney 's mailing address on my statement for him to receive my pay statement only that I had no prior knowledge of. Nor did I authorize this with Wells Fargo or my former Attorney. 
A lawsuit was filed in Illinois against National Title Clearing Involving XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo deed came from alleged XXXX  XXXX  from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX name was involved as part of a robo-signing mill transferring loans fraudulently. The FDIC records show that XXXX  XXXX was acquired by XXXX not Wells Fargo. I have the proof and documents of all allegations. Wells Fargo dismissed both foreclosure actions were due to wrong doing not the loan being paid off. Now in XX/XX/XXXX the stories change that XXXX XXXX XXXX paid off the loan to Wells Fargo which is false. 
Now XXXX  XXXX XXXX wants me to pay back a loan alleged to have been paid off to Wells Fargo. I did not authorize any payoff or loans or anything with XXXX  XXXX XXXX which is fraud. Please review document attachments. I'm consulting with attorneys regarding fraudulent activity... Wells Fargo continues to not answer or supply accurate information to my complaints filed. Please submit all responses to the lawsuit upload documents for review to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to conceal fraud /Elder abuse. Wells Fargo also forged my name on documents as well. The make home Affordable document from Wells Fargo is forged and not my signature. Please review the Making Home Affordable document page XXXX that the Monthly gross wages are scratched out, and the income expenses are incorrect. Not my hand writing. This is a fraudulent created document. 
I never signed any court affidavit or any affidavit with Wells Fargo or any bank, confirming anyone third party or Attoney to be given access to any loan accounts documents. Wells Fargo never confirmed anything to me to release any account documents to anyone, any attorneys and so forth. I never signed any notarized affidavit with any attorneys as well. Wells Fargo refuses to take any accountability for there actions which was fraud against me plain and simple.

1. There is no bank name on the alleged wire transfer 2. The loan amount is incorrect that was alleged to be owed to Wells Fargo.
