We were going on two months behind on our mortgage with Bank of America. I had lost my job because of downsizing. I had taken out a student loan and gone to school to learn a new profession, but everyone wanted at least two years experience and I had about six months. It was difficult since I was older and the job market was flooded at that time for my profession with a lot of young girls who may be faster or have more experience. Everybody was getting modifications at that time, so we thought we should try for one. We always paid the late fee with our payment if we were past the due date, but Bank of America would return the late fee saying it was n't enough for the next payment. When we went for the modification we were told it would help us get it if we were three months behind. So we did as told and got a " modification '' that was more than {$200.00}. more than the payment we had!! We refused that and by then more behind, asked if we paid up to date if we could just go back to the original payment. They said yes, so my husband got a loan from his retirement fund, we paid that, and for about three months everything was okay. Then they started billing us for the modification amount saying they had to have an escrow account to pay for taxes and insurance, which we never had included before. We always made payments on our insurance and saved for taxes and did not have to worry about paying so much every month They did not tell us if we applied for a modification the escrow was a requirement. Then I had to have XXXX, and XXXX among other medical problems and payments were impossible for us. Bank of America would not take any money except all that was due. So we ended up more behind, then the mortgage went to XXXX and they could not give us a modification with the information they had and more charges were added until we ended up currently being foreclosed with a sale date before the end of this month, we have nowhere to go since we have quite a few pets. We rescued a few and took a couple from loved ones who passed on. I also was just diagnosed with XXXX XXXX and will be having XXXX in about ten days. I am stressed to the max and blame Bank of America for not being honest with their information in the first place, and of course the person we applied for the modification with, no longer works there. I have stacks of notes from calls I made trying to work things out and the person who was in charge of our account kept changing about every month. It has been a very bad situation from the beginning. Our credit has been ruined which also affects our getting someplace to live. I am on XXXX and my husband had to retire from his job because of his age.
