Sometime around XX/XX/XXXX, we applied to re-finance our Bank of America home loan. After being told on the phone that we were approved, and even offered congratulations, and after filling out the extensive paperwork, we were denied the refinance because of my wife 's bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. Bank of America told us that we would have to get this bankruptcy " re-affirmed ''. I was able to contact the bankruptcy lawyer we used nearly ten years ago and he told me that " re-affirmation '' was impossible. He said it would have been impossible at the time ( the bankruptcy judge would have thrown it out ) and it remains impossible today. After I told officials at Bank of America this information, they put me in a video conference with XXXX of their agents in XXXX, TX who insisted that it is possible. The bottom line is that we were denied mortgage refinance because of a ten-year-old bankruptcy, the terms of which can not be changed. We believe, based on our current credit and our perfect record of mortgage payment since we bought our home ( XX/XX/XXXX ), that we were unfairly denied mortgage refinance.
