Oregon Woman Wins Foreclosure Battle With Wells Fargo

Judge ruled that Wells Fargo did not prove she was behind on mortgage payments

A woman in Tualatin, Ore., is breathing a sigh of relief after a three-year battle to prove Wells Fargo had wrongfully moved to foreclose on her home, saying she had missed mortgage payments.

A judge ruled Wednesday that Wells Fargo failed to prove she was actually behind in her payments, which Delores Dingman, 80, attributes to the bank's simple "accounting errors."

"I just praise God for it all because I kept praying so many times about this, because I knew I had made the payments, but their accounting errors made it hard," she said.

The judge heard six hours of testimony and then ruled to cancel the judicial foreclosure.
