XXXX XXXX has been working with Bank of America for home retention options. She was advised that one of her options is short sale. She listed her property with a local real estate agent on XX/XX/XXXX and received an offer. Per Bank of America 's instruction, we have been trying to initiate the short sale into their " XXXX '' system to begin review. In our many discussions with Bank of America, they informed us that they are having troubles with initiating this file and opening up the review. This " delay '' has gone on for over two week. Daily, when we speak to Bank of America, they advise that they are having issues with their system and that they will look into it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was advised by Bank of America that too much time had gone by trying to open the file and that we are now too close to the upcoming foreclosure and that Bank of America will no longer entertain a short sale. 

Bank of America has agreed that the issues and delays were internal but their unwillingness to work with us because " too much time has passed '' is completely contradicting to them admitting that the mistake was on their end. 

It is not fair that XXXX XXXX should have to pay the price because Bank of America can not figure out how to practice their own internal procedures without errors. Their borrower has reached out for assistance and is being denied it for a reason that is not in her control.
