Brian and Holly Barnhart of Cape Coral – who were sold a house by Wells Fargo Bank even though the bank didn’t own the property – have filed a lawsuit alleging fraud and negligence.

Brian and Holly Barnhart thought they were home free when they bought their Cape Coral dream house from Wells Fargo Bank – but the bank didn’t even own the house.
