Due to a hardship, I was unable to pay my home mortgage payments. I had a first mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX and a equity line of credit with Bank of America. My home was foreclosed upon in XX/XX/XXXX. Both loans were real estate loans and the collateral was the home. MY COMPLAINT is with Bank of America who held the equity line of credit. BofA reported the loan as charged off initially. Then 30 months later, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) a BofA collection representative started calling me threatening a lawsuit if I did not pay the money owed on the equity line. I was asked and agreed to pay {$5000.00} to settle the account. I have attached the note and deed of trust for the equity line showing that the loan was secured initially by the property but in the aftermath, it should be shown on my credit as a chaarge off - settled for less than due and not a Foreclosure. The way BofA is reporting this on my credit is keeping me from purchasing another home for 3 years. I am requesting B of A report this as a charge off of a credit account and not a foreclosure.
