Complaint #1736656 submitted on 01/11/2016 relating to Bank of America. Complaint relates to Mortgage Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM) - Loan modification,collection,foreclosure .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Monday 11th January 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I am a single mother with XXXX children, I just went through a horrible divorce that involved XXXX. I am trying to pick up the pieces and put my life back together which includes keeping a roof over my children 's heads. I have a career with a XXXX year job history. Our home is currently in the foreclosure process with Bank of America. My ex husband stopped paying for the mortgage and took all of our money out of the bank when I obtained a restraining order against him. I can afford the mortgage payment go forward however I am unable to make up the back payments. Prior to the divorce being final I was constantly in contact with Bank of America trying to figure out ways to prevent the foreclosure. I was highly encouraged by them to obtain the divorce decree as quickly as possible and get my soon to be ex to quit claim the house so that I could qualify for a mortgage modification. I rushed the divorce to obtain these documents and submitted them only to be told I did not qualify. I was never told the same thing twice. Every time I called I received conflicting information. I retained an attorney by the name of XXXX XXXX at XXXX Law Firm as I feel there have been many UDAAP violations throughout this entire process that need to be investigated. To this day I still am unable to get the same information from XXXX different people at Bank of America on anything having to do with this whole mortgage modification approval/decline process. I submitted the divorce decree and quit claim deed exactly as I was told then I was told by someone else there was no need to do that. They appraised my home for {$500000.00} the first time, when I appealed that they came back with an appraisal of {$450000.00}. I sent in XXXX comparables to Bank of America and gave them the name of several realtors in my area who said the home would not appraise or sell for more than {$370000.00}. Bank of America has ignored that. Where is the due diligence around their appraisal process and ensuring the accuracy of them? How many other mortgage holders homes were over appraised as well in order to decline their mortgage modification?? I believe this over appraisal is XXXX of the reasons for the denial for the mortgage modification but not able to get confirmation around that either. Recently someone named XXXX XXXX called and said I could get my own appraisal done and this was the first I have heard of that as well. There have been nothing but unfair and deceptive acts and practices during this entire foreclosure/mortgage modification process. Please help, I can definitely afford the payments and need to keep my XXXX children in their home.
