BofA Continues Pocketing Mortgage Workout Payments While Refusing To Recognize Predecessor's Loan Mod Deal, Says Kentucky Couple Now Facing F'closure

In Louisville, Kentucky, WAVE-TV Channel 3 reports:

• Jason and Melissa Mattingly are finding out that mortgage modifications can become nightmares. Two years ago they fell behind on a couple of mortgage payments and received a mortgage modification through their lender, Countrywide Homes. Shortly thereafter, Countrywide was acquired by Bank of America and the Mattingly's had to file the paperwork again - but now Bank of America is taking steps to foreclose on the home. "We've never gotten anything like this, we've made our payments, they've accepted (them)," said Melissa Mattingly. "So I just don't see how they can foreclose on us if we've honored our payments every month."

• The Mattingly's receive up to a dozen phone calls a day from Bank of America saying they are only making 'partial' payments on their home mortgage. When Melissa or Jason bring up the home mortgage modification they sent in, bank representatives say there's no reference to a modification in their computer records. The bank admits they're receiving the Mattingly's payments, but refuses to recognize the modification.
