BofA Clash With Fannie Mae Escalates Over Loan Buyback Stance
Bank of America Corp. (BAC) told Fannie Mae it refuses to cooperate with the U.S. mortgage firm’s new stance on loan buybacks, setting the lender up for a potential surge in claims and penalties.
The bank is disputing Fannie Mae’s demand that lenders repurchase mortgages or cover any losses themselves if an insurer drops coverage, Bank of America said this month in a regulatory filing. The lender, ranked second by assets among U.S. banks, said it “does not intend to repurchase loans” under what it deems to be new rules, and the refusal may trigger penalties or other sanctions.
At stake is Bank of America’s ability to contain costs from faulty mortgages, which have reached about $40 billion for refunds, lawsuits and foreclosures. The company set aside $278 million for loan buybacks in the third quarter, the least since Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan took over almost two years ago. Those expenses may rebound if Fannie Mae’s rules stand, the bank said.

You may want to give notice of proof of representation and read and use the article three and the article nine statutes, the U. S Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and the First Amendment. Read all of them. As far as I am concerned and I am a Pro Se not an attorney, still learning as I go, that SMJ dismissals are Unconstitutional law, read 42USC1983 and then make sure you find your state law that it supports and visa versa, look up the Ultra Vires Doctrine, and The Unclean hands doctrine all through Wikipedia where they often have case law for you. The courts have turned to unconstitutional law and that is illegal. Our Constitution is road kill. If you don’t specify it they will run right over it like a Mack Truck.
