Response to Successful cases against wrongful repossession?

This is almost exactly what happened to us in 1995. We moved abroad and let our home with the approval of the bank. The bank was well aware of our address. We received regular routine correspondence from them in the form of bank statements etc. Then one day the rental agency called us to say that the tennants had done a midnight flit and that our house had been taken back by the bank and had been put on the market. The reason being that we had an overdraft with them and they had decided to called it in. The house was eventually sold for a couple of thousand below the market value. I categorically received no summons or other notice of a county court hearing and no notice of the judgement, until the agency called. Basically the shame of the whole thing prevented us from trying to do anything about it. However, we have now returned to the UK and I feel that there is a score to settle. We feel that we were treated in a very underhand way and not given a proper chance to sort out the problem. What can realistically be done?
