Pre-Introduction
We ask that you share this manual within your office, including those who may not be directly involved, to educate your staff on the Foreclosure program

High Level Description of Process
Delinquent loans will be referred to the attorney once set up in the Foreclosure Workstation after the expiration of the demand. The attorney will be handling these loans from Referral to Sale/Confirmation/Redemption. The assigned Wells Fargo liaison will assist the attorney with any issues that arise outside of the normal process and review audit results.

Upon completion of the required documentation, the attorney will be authorized to file the Foreclosure Notice, keep Wells Fargo up to date, and address objections to the Foreclosure without loan level approval under established timeframes/guidelines. Any over-allowable or hourly fee requests not listed in the pre-approval form will require loan level approval from Wells Fargo.

If the attorney receives notice of an adversary, litigation issue, motion for sanctions, or any issue the attorney cannot complete in a time manner timely or any issue that will cause a delay in the timely execution of the sale, refer to the Litigation section of this manual. Wells Fargo will provide further instruction upon receipt of the communication from the attorney. The attorney will also be required to receive authorization for all over-allowable fees and costs as well as hourly billing requests for items not covered by the pre-approval form.

If the mortgagor contacts the attorney, and the attorney is unable to answer, the customer should be directed to the appropriate customer service number listed below. At no time should the Wells Fargo Liaison’s direct phone line be provided to outside parties.
