We have a mortgage on our primary residence with BofA that is delinquent. During the last 2 years we have been caring for by a son with XXXX XXXX XXXX who has needed our assistance, we are his only family. We are retired, my husband is XXXX and I am XXXX. We have a small business that we had to neglect to help him out. We were also unable to file our XXXX taxes but did get an extension. His surgeries and treatments have been expensive and time consuming. To save our home we sought and were approved for a reverse mortgage that fell short of the balance owed BofA. We have enough money to bring to closing to cover the principle but not the accrued interest or penalties. We have asked BofA to accept this. It is not dissimilar to what a home owner would request of a mortgage modification or short sale. After XXXX other complaints with CFPB they told us that they could help us. We were asked to provide all of the HAMP documentation which we have completed. Yesterday we were informed that they could not consider our case because we did not file a tax return for XXXX. I did some research and found via the HAMP website that is accessible by the servicers that in their FAQs that we are eligible for a modification even if we do not have a tax return for that year as long as we sign and send a Form 4506-T which we have done. I have also found in the HAMP Supplemental Directive XXXX that if tax returns are not available that other means of determining income verification can be pay stubs or bank statements. I have attached those references. We have provided 3 months of bank statements with income deposits indicated for our business, pensions and social security payments. We have provided a detailed P & L for XXXX, YTD XXXX and a pro forma for the remaining months of XXXX. We began this process in XXXX and have very little time before the reverse mortgage will expire. We informed BofA of this but it really feels like they are dragging their feet. We make daily and sometimes multiple calls per day and it has been typically 24 to 36 hours to get a response. We have talked or left messages with supervisors and supervisor 's supervisors and now are told that they will not consider our case. This seems like an inappropriate conclusion made by BofA and it feels like since we have equity in our home that it they do n't need to help us out because when they foreclose they will be made whole. It also seems inappropriate that assistance is offered to every other kind of situation but no assistance is available to us. We have demonstrated the ability to qualify for a reverse mortgage and can cover the principle balance. Their reason for refusing to consider our request appears to us to be incorrect. Can you help us or direct us to someone who can. We have about 10 days to get this done.
