Bank of America Stealing Homes

“Employees who placed 10 or more accounts into foreclosure in a month could get gift cards to Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond or $500 bonuses”

“We were regularly drilled that it was our job to maximize fees for the bank by extending HAMP modifications by any means we could, including lying to customers”

Bank of America lied to distressed homeowners, former employees say

Bank of America systematically worked to deny thousands of loan modifications with specific delay tactics that included lying to homeowners and repeatedly requesting documents employees knew were already in the system, according to statements added last week to a multi-district lawsuit filed in federal court.

The suit, which is seeking class-action status and includes a Boynton Beach homeowner, claims the lender purposefully hindered modifications requested by borrowers through the federal Home Affordable Modification Program.

According to former employees of the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, loan modification agents handled up to 400 cases at a time and eligible borrowers were pushed into foreclosure during periodic “blitzes” where any file with documents 50 days old or older was automatically denied.

“This included files in which the homeowner had provided all required financial documents and fully complied with terms of the trial period,” said William E. Wilson, a former Bank of America underwriter who worked for the company between June 2010 and August 2012. “The delay and rejection programs within Bank of America were methodically carried out.”
