Wells Fargo and similar servicers complete foreclosure sales on properties while the homeowner believes an active loan modification review is protecting them from that outcome.

This pattern results in irreversible home loss for borrowers who were proactively seeking to resolve their default.

There is no automated correction mechanism and disputes must be filed manually.
