How do we find out how mucha lender sold a property and land for after it was foreclosed on?
1 credit report shows we owe them $40,000 but the other 2 show a 0 balance. If they did sell it for more than was owed do they owe us the money?

One way to ascertain how much a foreclosed property was later sold for by the lender is to go down to the county tax assessor where the property is located and pull the recent tax assessment records for the property recently sold. The sales price should be listed.
If it is not, one way to ascertain it is to pull the last deed on it and look at the cost of the transfer tax. Usually the cost reflects a price of a $1.10 per thousand dollars of the selling price.
If the lender resold the proeprty after a foreclosure sale after it had received title to the parcel, it would not owe you any monies even if it was resold for more than what you owed on it.
