Reporter this is home for kris and rebecca kraft, but nearly three years after they bought this south tampa house a bank theyve never even done business with claims to own it and wants them out. Neither of us slept all night long just, you know, what in the heck is happening . This is our home weve been paying for. Reporter they were stunned. Their house listed for sale on the internet with an unusual stipulation. Property is occupied and disturbed or contacted under any circumstances. What . These are not occupants. Theyre homeowners. A bank called nationstar was selling their home. We do not have a loan with them. They wont even talk to us. Reporter at a loss, kris did some research and drew out a timeline on his office white board. The question really becomes is from a legal proceeding for all of this is who actually has the right to the house . Reporter so how did this mess happen . Its a tale of two titles for one house. Two banks screwed up a foreclosure on a previous homeowner creating a title glitch where both banks had ownership. With a clouded title the home should never have sold to the krafts in the first place. Years later now one of the banks nationstar wants their house back and thats where the krafts hit a roadblock, so they called 8 on your side and i went to work. Ive been on hold now for 33 minutes. Who is going to want to buy a house someone else already paid for . Reporter our next stop of the krafts title was the krafts title company, but nobody at old republic wanted to come out and talk to me. Sure. Just pass the card under the door, please. Reporter okay. Thats a first. Meanwhile back at the krafts theyre left fearing a knock at the door terrified theyll lose their home. It makes me physically ill. Every time i walk by the photos on the wall it breaks my heart. A folkswoman for nationstar called me back and spokeswoman for nationstar called me back and said shell get down to the bottom of it. For now nationstar is taking the house off the market. If they have policy insurance, will that pay for it . It should kick in, but theyll still lose the house and thats not right. Up to the plate and take care of this. This just gives every homeowner pause that Something Like this could happen. Its outrageous. Shannon behnken, thank you.
