Bank of America Mortgage Account XXXX was incurred as part of a normal 80/20 mortgage and used for the purchase price ( " purchase money '' ) of the borrower 's primary residence in XX/XX/XXXX, which was located at XXXX XXXX Ct XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. The property was foreclosed upon in XX/XX/XXXX. This was not an equity line of credit and it was not a refinance and, being " purchase money '', this debt is protected from collection pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure, section 580b. However, Bank off America pursued this debt through the use of XXXX collection agencies ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) - see attached letters. When we responded to these claims and requested proof of the debt owed to be provided within 10 days ( see attached letter to BofA ) we were not contacted by BofA or its representatives further. Proof of any debt to BofA was never provided. Since that time, BofA has posted a charge-off amount of {$4700.00} related to this account ( # XXXX ) on our credit file. I have contacted BofA numerous times to find out what this charged-off amount is, proof of it being owed, and, if proven to be owed, a mechanism for settling the debt should be provided. Bank of America has been unwilling to provide proof of this debt or any mechanism to settle it. The statute of limitations in California ( 4 years ) has expired on this charged-off balance and Bank of America has no recourse to the debt they claim I owe. No proof of this debt has been provided which is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I believe that Bank of America has fraudulently placed this charge-off in my credit file for the sole purpose of damaging my good credit.
