How could it be foreclosed upon without your knowledge?  You had to have gotten notice of the foreclosure.  It would be against the law if you were not notified.  Do you live in the house in question?  Were you served with papers from the bank through their attorneys? Did the Sheriff post a notice on your property? You need to seek legal help in this matter as soon as you can.  You have rights regarding your property and the right to redeem it from foreclosure prior to the sale.  Each state has their own set of laws on the subject so seeking legal counsel in your are is the best idea.  Good luck.
