We are in the process of doing a short sale with Bank of america. We have submitted all paperwork and understood because it was a VA loan that it had to be denied for a loan modification before are offer for a short sale could be considered. I have recently moved out with my significant other and our baby girl and have been maintaining the property and our realtor had the lockbox on the door in order to show the property to potential back up offers for a short sale. Bank of America sent safe guard properties into the and drilled out all the locks on the doors and replaced them with their own, they damaged the front screen door, and posted signs all over the house. It has greatly diminished the value of the home and the look of the property. They are making us jump through all sorts of hoops now to get keys to the property and will not return the lockbox they destroyed or provide compensation for it and the screen door they broke. The bank is saying they have every right to enter the premises and do what they did, which is completely illegal.
