This was a mistake. The $10,500 was the tax amount owed on a neighboring property, not Plaintiff&#8217;s.&#8221; (Bailey did not address the discrepancy between $13,361 and $10,500.)<\/p>\n<p>Bailey added: &#8220;In September, 2010 Wells Fargo acknowledged its error in paying the taxes on Plaintiff&#8217;s neighbor&#8217;s property and corrected it.&#8221; By then, however, Delassus was so far behind on his mortgage payments wrongly doubled by Wells Fargo that the bank refused to let him resume his $1,237.69 installments, Trujillo says. He faced a sizable &#8220;reinstatement&#8221; cost \u2014 which is often the past due amount plus fees.<\/p>\n<p>In an unsettling new twist, Delassus couldn&#8217;t get Wells Fargo to tell him how much his reinstatement cost was.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oddly, the judge was apparently just about to rule in Wells Fargo&#8217;s favor.
