Short Sale vs Foreclosure
I had Wells Fargo Home Mortgage as my mortgage provider. In Dec 2014 I had a life changing medical condition ( Aortic Dissection) 2 operations later I lost my job due to my medical condition. I tried to re-fi the mortgage thru wells fargo and had the worst experience of Life. I was lucky enough to set up a short sale on the property and thru a lot of paperwork and hard work we sold the property. I was checking the Wisconsin Court Access and was surprised to see that Wells Fargo had filed paperwork for foreclosure of property. It appears as a foreclosure is legal for them to do?

Wells Fargo is notoriously horrible when it comes to short sales. If you completed the short sale process and have the closing statement, they may have just made a mistake, not atypical for WF, unless its the new owners that are being foreclosed on and WF is also their lender. If its a mistake on WF part, it is just a matter of either hiring an attorney or making a bunch of phone calls/going through the hassle yourself. Either way you definitely want to clear it up as it will affect your credit and background checks.
