So I recently received an inquiry from a homeowner who is a long-term contributor to this blog asking how and why Wells Fargo got involved in her case. From the information that had been disclosed and recorded, Wells Fargo had nothing to do with it. But here were reports from Wells Fargo to investors, including information about her transaction.

I think that both lay people and lawyers are not comfortable unless they are trying to prove something. But the way to win these cases is the reverse --- by not proving anything or saying anything you need to prove.
