Back in XXXX, my former husband and I purchased a house together. At some point, the mortgage was transferred to Bank of America. In XXXX, we went through a non-contested divorce, and he agreed and the court confirmed that he would assume responsibility for the mortgage. At the time of the divorce, I contacted Bank of America and requested separation paperwork which I filled out, signed and submitted. Evidently, my former husband did not fill out his portion of the paperwork. I followed up with him and was made to understand that my name was off the mortgage. A few months ago, I signed up for online banking through Bank of America, because my XXXX rewards card had been transferred to them. I discovered the mortgage was still listed in my name as well as his. I contacted my former husband and he told me he was working on refinancing the house. I also called the mortgage division of Bank of America and asked what I needed to do to get my name of the mortgage. I was treated in a very rude and condescending way. The representative said, " I do n't care what the court says. It does n't matter ... .You are responsible for the loan! '' My ex-husband assured me that the refinancing process was underway. Then a few days ago, I received an email from Bank of America indicating that I was in danger of defaulting on the loan and threatening that my credit rating was in danger. I again contacted Bank of America and explained the situation. While this representative was a bit kinder, she again said that it was up to me to cover the loan or that the activity would be turned over to the credit agencies. I contacted my ex-husband and it turned out that as part of the refinancing process ... two payments had been made on the final mortgage payment to Bank of America and they had applied both to the principal instead of to the payment. So it was their own mistake which resulted in the call and the contact. Their choices resulted in a huge degree of stress and fear for me. And they blamed me for it. Fortunately, the refinancing is complete and the account will be closed in two days. But their insensitivity and lack of coordination resulted in a great deal of anxiety for me. I pity former spouses who do not have good relationships with their ex husbands and ex wives. I 'm not sure why court orders do not apply to financial institutions or what measures divorced people must go to to enforce those decisions, but I am very unhappy with the way I was treated by Bank of America.
