I am XXXX years old female who hold a conventional fixed mortgage with Bank of America. I have lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX my primary residence since 1997. The interest on my mortgage XXXX. XXXX has been 7.37 %. Over the past 5 years I have requested a modification to reduce the interest and payments. I have completed forms and submitted at least XXXX packages. Over and over it goes. A former consultant at NY XXXX XXXX woman XXXX XXXX who was helping people like me submitted a document informing Bank America that during this process I will be submitting the escrow payment monthly. My status moved from being full time XXXX to a retiree whose income now is primarily XXXX, some annuity disbursement since I am now retired. I have submitted hardship documents over and over. Still without success. When I was fully employed I was told that my income was too high. Now that I am retired, I do accept part time assignments to teach when these are given. Last semester I XXXX XXXX classes. This semester I received none. However, I am still able to pay the escrow. I have worked and saved all my working life to retire and live though at a different level. I live prudently and frugally. Each time I believe I am making headway in the process the consultant is changed as well as their location which makes me wonder whether documentation sent to XXXX is transferred to the next XXXX. This makes me have doubts about the process. I do not think it is honest. The most recent consultant made it clear that applying and completing documents offers no guarantee for success. Does it then mean that I am engaged in a process destined for frustration. Does it mean that this is a cruel game intended to oppress and frustrate me so that I will just give up and do a short sale and turn over the major asset of my life to Bank America? Our Government readily helped Bank America to survive with a quick bailout. I do not see any reciprocation when the CEO 's still get big bonuses and the little people get squeezed and oppressed. I am so thankful for now XXXX XXXX for understanding the plight of little people and little elderly people like me.. Yesterday I faxed the document XXXX verification benefit award letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX to her, Today Im telephone about its non receipt even though another mailing admits receipt of document. The process needs to be more humane -- not terrifying by more than XXXX computerized program just beating and beating and beating ones mind to drive them out of their homes and leave it for Bank America.
