More details to this question:
Home has been in foreclosure for over a year. At the register of deeds office at the Granville county courthouse in Oxford NC, clearly shows that my name is wrong on the deed of my home. I've been informed that I may be able to obtain repossession of home b/c of this error w/o any financial obligations except paying the taxes and homeowners insurance yearly. In other words I will be given my home back free of charge do to this error. Is this true? If so what are my rights, where do I go from here? Who would I contact?

What you are talking about is a typographical error, nothing more. These types of errors can be handled in court by your lender's attorney. You do not get to get a home for free simply because the person creating the documents misspelled your name or made some type of other typographical error. As long as the area is not so great as to be completely incorrect from beginning to end, but in that case the arrow will be so great that nothing about you is even reference that indeed therefore it's not your house either.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
