I am placing this complaint for the mishandling of my repeatedly requests for a modification. In XXXX I was granted this {$200000.00} mortgage originally with XXXX XXXX, in XXXX it was sold to Countrywide and in XXXX sold to Bank of America. In XXXX my husband had XXXX surgery and had to stop working and I had to reduce my hours to become his caregiver at which time we defaulted. Up until this time we had made every payment on time, even paid {$110.00} extra each month towards the prinicipal. In XXXX financially our situation improved and I started applying with Bank of America for a modification at this point we were only 12 months behind. Each time I called for a status I was given the run around, excuses of lost applications, missing docucments, outdated financials, assigned new representatives etc. When I finally received a response in XXXX it was a denial for not qualifying for any programs. I immediately filed an appeal and the application process and stall tactics began again, all the while the arrears kept getting higher! In XXXX XXXX I received a letter saying my mortgage was sold to XXXX and I found myself having to begin the modification process all over again! In XXXX XXXX XXXX denied my modification and foreclosure notice came shortly after. This time I consulted with a not for profit agency who helped me fight. Finally I was approved but being that non of the arrears were forgiven and no principal reduction the new mortgage amount would be {$310000.00} on a house that is only worth {$220000.00} and the monthly payment was going to be 52 % of my net salary! As much as I want to save my home I could n't accept this offer. Financially I am able to pay this mortgage, I have no outstanding debt, my credit score is XXXX, I pay all my bills on time, all I need is an affordable modification! What I do n't understand is why Bank of America was allowed to get away with this. My misfortune happened during the banking industry crisis they got bailed out by the federal government why ca n't the government help the common man keep their home! I built this house in XXXX when I was XXXX years old I raised my XXXX children, this is not a house this is our HOME! All I need is someone to help me fight against this injustice, reduce the arrears that were not my fault and let me keep my home!
