Shame on Bank of America.  Gail has done everything above and beyond what they asked for and once again they are being ridiculous.  Gail's husband is dying and I can't believe after all she did with Bank of America they are doing this to them again.  Please reblog, tweet, fb, linked in - everything and help us get the word out for Gail again. Together we can make a difference for Gail and her husband.

BOA SENT ME A DECLINE LETTER TODAY AS MY HUSBAND WAS BEING ADMITTED INTO HOSPICE

I made all the trial loan modification payments on time over the phone via my BOA Customer Relationship Manager, yet today I received a FedEx letter stating that my permanent loan modification was DECLINED.  At the same time as the letter arrived, the hospice nurse came to sign my husband up for in-home hospice care.  Can you believe this????

The letter from BOA states "Thank you for contacting us regarding the Home Affordable Modification Program.  While we realize this decision comes at a difficult time in your life, we regret to inform you that we are no longer considering your request for a modification because after being offered a Trial Period Plan, you did not make the required Trial Period Plan payment by the end of the first month of the trial period."

I made the first trial payment on 3/4/13, the second one on 4/2/13, and the third one on 5/2/13.  The original letter from my BOA Customer Relationship Manager outlining the terms for the trial period dated 2/25/13 stated, "To participate in the Trial Period Plan, make your first month's trial period mortgage payment as soon as possible, but in no event later than 30 calendar day after 4/1/2013."

Since I made the first payment on 3/4/13 and it was not due until 4/1/13, it seems to me that I am in compliance.  

This was so upsetting that I could not focus properly on getting my husband admitted into hospice.  My husband is very upset.  He has Stage IV, Pancreatic Cancer and was diagnosed 4 years and 4 months ago.  He's now in the end stages of the illness.  

Can you see where I made an error?  Perhaps I'm not thinking straight due to the stress of putting my husband in hospice today.  It's an emotional day.

Why wouldn't my BOA Customer Relationship Manager call me to tell me ahead of time that this letter was going out?  Why won't she return my calls.  I have had to ask for an Appeal, but this is the last thing I need to focus on right now.  My attention should be 100% on my husband in his final days.  

BOA have a heart!!!!

BOA is ridiculous!  I am sorry this is happening is there a BOA person out there who can recognize the issues?

BOA gets another one wrong . . . . maybe the bank is to big to take care of their customers.

Good luck and success.

Those who follow AR regularly should let their local mortgage rep know that when this situation is resolved we will again consider their services. If done in mass, attention will be quick! My local rep will be made aware today!

Anna, what a sad re-blog.  BOA never changes.  Those that try the hardest to comply with BOA requirements seem to be the ones who are treated the worst.  There is no logic.

Wow, shame on Bank of America. What is it going to take for them to turn human again. I wish I could slap them. This needs to be public so that everyone can see their sorry behavior. I think someone should get her local news team involved. It works here in Denver. A little pressure and the giant might roll over - maybe just this once.

Hope this was an error - huge mistake on behalf of BOA ... Blessings to you for carrying a much needed message and to Gail & her husband.

I am so glad to read that BoA called her to let her know the denial was in error... the lenders need to be more careful, it may be just a little error to them but it brings so much stress to the borrowers.
