On January 8, 2026, a Morris County Chancery Judge dismissed a bogus foreclosure complaint filed by Wells Fargo against our client, citing the bank’s failure to join this mortgage in an earlier foreclosure case involving its second mortgage on the same property. The dismissal is with prejudice, meaning that our client is permanently relieved of a mortgage debt of approximately $500,000. The ruling is expected to be appealed by Wells Fargo.

In the interim, our firm is seeking recovery of our client’s legal fees from Wells Fargo due to the bank engaging in frivolous litigation. The case is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. vs. 9 Schindler Court, LLC, et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Morris County, Docket No.: F-6328-25.
