Condo Q&A

Condo association evicts owner via foreclosure. Can she fight it?

My mom lost her condo in a judicial foreclosure over a $200 assessment plus what the claim was over $8,000 in legal fees they spent trying to collect the $200; as she never knew she owed it. She was never notified of the sheriff sale or the redemption period and found out she lost the condo 7 months after the sheriff sale by receiving an eviction hearing notice. She has never been late paying her condo dues, taxes or mortgage payment. She has moved out since the judge told her the eviction was to be executed and now lives with me. To this day she is only 15 days late on her mortgage, taxes are all current. Is there any possibility that the bank will work with her to fight these people? She can't afford to fight them or pay their ridiculous fees to buy back her condo from the association. (They offered for her to buy back for $12,073.10) I need help defending my mothers credit as it has always been perfect and now destroyed o ver either ignorance on the associations end or intentional foul play. I'm not sure which, but this is a horrible situation. The bank (Wells Fargo) is assigning her to someone to speak to , but I'm afraid she will get no where if we don't know what buttons to push or questions to ask. Thank you Bill
