I fell behind on my mortgage XX/XX/2009. I spoke with my lender, Bank of America and they instructed me to send {$1400.00} overnight to prevent foreclosure, which I did. I was told that this would bring me up to date and that they would respond with the next steps to take. Two months later they sent the money back and told me that it was a miscommunication and that they were going to foreclose anyway. I made attempts over the next 3 years to work with Bank of America but they refused to take any payments stating they would only accept the full balance, or they would proceed with the foreclose. 
Eventually I beat them back in court in the XXXX Judicial Circuit of Illinois and forced them to modify the loan. A {$2000.00} settlement payment followed from Bank of America to compensate me for the improper foreclosure effort. 
As a result of the improper foreclosure Bank of America has placed over 38 late / missing payment notations on my credit report, even though they would not accept payments during that period. Additionally, it was agreed during the loan modification that Bank of America would remove the late / missed payment notations. It was agreed that I could n't have been late or missed payments that the lender refused to accept. They now have simply forgotten that part of the agreement. 
I have attempted to speak with Bank of America regarding this complaint, but there is no one who is willing to address the modification, or even discuss the mis-reporting. This is having a huge affect on my credit score and my ability to refinance to get a lower interest rate. It has cost me thousands of dollars in high interest rates with other lenders as well.
