Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

I'm in IL, I bought a foreclosed home from a bank in 2009. I got a certified letter from a court case stating that the last owners name was not on the foreclosure paperwork when the home was foreclosed (it has another a relative's name with et al). They are requesting that the purchase I made be void and the property be returned to him.
