Complaint / Review
Countrywide - Bank of America/Short Sale
Incompetent Department and Service

6 months before, at the conclusion of January, my spouse and that I place an offer along on the home in Monroe, CT. We discovered after settling a sale value using the vendors, the home could be starting short-sale. We decided to move ahead using the purchase and visited agreement on February 20, placing along one more 1.5% (as required by their lawyer). Around this day, the seller’s lawyer includes a whole of $9,550 in escrow ($3,830 as preliminary deposit, $5,720 at agreement) toward the purchase of the home by which we're not acquiring attention on. Additionally, Countrywide (today Bank of America), continues to be providing us the run around and it has not had the opportunity to obtain something finished about the purchase of the house (view schedule below). Your entire group, including both our lawyer and theirs, both models of realtors, and both seller’s and us, have spent so enough time to assist transfer issues combined with the lender but to no avail.

Every consultant we consult with in the bank does only include records to the file-based upon our discussions and we proceed to get fake deadlines which are never followed from the lender. Along with this, we be seemingly experiencing a red tape problem. While you might find within the schedule under, we've finished all demands produced by the financial institution in a many appropriate way, and also have been calling Lender of America just about every day to confirm the standing of issues, but they nevertheless had grounds to maneuver our document towards the base of the endless heap because of an incredibly unlikely and unobtainable process on the finish (view schedule starting May 8). My partner and that I feel impossible and therefore are attempting anything possible to obtain some help understand this package completed. The seller’s haven't been spending their mortgage with this home today for a while, therefore must we back out, the home may get into foreclosure. This clearly is just a poor scenario for several concerned, particularly Lender of America that has a good, fair-market present (that's nearly dead-on using the evaluation) up for grabs for recommended purchase of the home.

Given below is just a schedule of the occasions which have happened so far and also have not amounted to any improvement. We're worried about passing up on the $8,000 very first time customer tax-credit that had provided us motivation to purchase within the first-place, and concerning the today rising interest levels. Being that there doesn’t be seemingly a finish insight, we can not lock in in a price. We're getting desperate…we enjoy the home and might dislike to possess to leave because of a, declining program that Lender of America seems to have operating (or not working for that matter).

Timeline:

Jan 29: Present approved by vendor

Feb 20: My spouse and that I visit agreement for that purchase of the home having a purchase cost of $382,000 (evaluation arrived in at $385,000). Extra 1.5% deposit posted (to get a whole of $9,550) at signing. Agreement is delivered to seller’s lawyer, who directs along short-sale bundle to Countrywide/Lender of America for authorization.

March 3: Vendor's Lawyer suggests he was ultimately ready to talk to somebody at Countrywide/Lender of America when it comes to the acceptance for that short-sale. Sadly, he was informed they wouldn't have the ability to provide him a solution until March 19.

March 23: Vendor's Lawyer follows-up with Countrywide. They've nothing to record apart from that the document was designated to somebody within the short-sale division on March 9, and they need to provide that individual thirty days to examine the document before we are able to contact them.

April 9: one month tag for Countrywide’s evaluation procedure. Vendor's Lawyer talks with Countrywide who shows him that people must have some reaction or info within the next morning or two. They requested he call-back again tomorrow.

April 10: Vendor's Lawyer connections National again and talks with somebody who shows him that they're expediting the problem and getting it towards the interest of the supervisor due to the period of time it's experienced their program. They request he call-back on Wednesday or Thursday of the next week, where period they aspire to have designated a negotiator to go over the document with him.

April 16: Vendor's Lawyer talks with National again today and it is informed the BPOs have now been posted (these were really posted in March) and also the next thing will be designated to some negotiator. 3 times previously 6 times, the 10th, the 14th and also the 16th, Countrywide has informed the Vendor's Lawyer they were "increasing" the problem to obtain a boss to appear within the document and make certain a negotiator is designated and nothing has been completed.

April 22: Vendor's Lawyer gets call-back from Countrywide who shows him they're shifting the document along through their program but don't have significantly more to record. They declare to become performing all-they may.

May 1: A negotiator has finally been hired and also the Vendor's Lawyer was supplied with a title and a contact address. Countrywide directed the Lawyer he isn't to get hold of the negotiator for five (10) business days.

May 5: Countrywide demands updated files from Vendor's Lawyer including a HUD-1 type, newest record contract, and seller's costs from their broker. Contract distributed by Countrywide for this updated info is May 13.

May 8: Lawyer faxes over updated files (required on May 5) to National, subsequent process because they had determined to him.

May 22: Vendor's Lawyer shows us he talked with National plus they have rejected the short-sale and shut out the situation simply because they didn't get the updated files they required by contract. Based on Countrywide, they require 7-10 business days to check the files to their program (after getting the fax) and so, don't identify the files as obtained until May 18th, despite them having been delivered over only 3 times after their preliminary demand, on May 8. Lawyer battles this (being this process was never conveyed or wouldn't it have now been feasible to obtain them the info promptly even when they'd supplied them the files on a single evening they required) plus they accept reopen the situation and determine us back again to the last negotiator. We can not contact the negotiator for 3-5 business days.

May 29: Vendor's Lawyer calls National (currently shifting to Lender of America) to check out up using the negotiator by which he's today informed that they're setting the situation to some other negotiator which he can't contact him until Friday, June 5, in the earliest. Countrywide shows him our document returned towards the end-of the point also it could be 15 business days because we returned within the point a week ago. Lender does recognize they have all of the evaluations they require as well as for the very first time they requested for that cost of the purchase and also the identification of the customer.

June 3: Vendor's Broker starts calling every single day (overtaking because of Lawyeris disappointment using the insufficient support). She's informed today at 2pm the computers are down plus they advise her to call-back later. She calls again at 5pm and 7pm and computers continue to be down.

June 4: Broker calls Lender of America at 9am and computers continue to be down. She procedds to contact every 2 hours during the day plus they stay along.

June 10: Broker links with Lender of America and it is educated they have all the paperwork however they require the vendors to contact the house preservation consultant to provide an updated financial record and fax over their Might paystubs. Once that's completed, the document may improve to Stage 2, by which they'll approach all the info they curently have (and also have required in the last 5 weeks). Per Bank of America, the evaluation had been completed and arrived in great. Additionally per Lender of America, if we proceed to contact everyday, there's possible we are able to obtain the package completed in per month.

June 11: The Vendors talk to the house preservation consultant as Lender of America directed and finished the spoken economic record together. Might paystubs were sent to some lady called Kathy's interest. Kathy confirms delivery.

June 16: Broker talks using the Lender of America who shows her they hadn't yet gotten the May check statements within the program that have been sent over last week…said it typically takes 7-10 times before its within the program and requested them to send Junes declaration in case, in this way it's not going to endure other things from continue (which we did). Bank of America claims they're delivering the document towards the escalator.

June 19: Broker talks having a consultant at Bank of America who advised her these were researching the document and could be making the decision and moving along to some negotiator that evening (Friday) or Wednesday.

June 29: Bank of America named broker to obtain a modified present contract so the figures fit what is outlined about the HUD form.

June 30: Updated files required about the 29th were modified and delivered to the financial institution.

July 7: Broker talks with Jocelyn at Bank of America. She checks and confirms that data was obtained. Jocelyn apologizes for that document getting such a long time and claims she'll place in a demand to advance towards the negotiator. Broker continues to contact everyday. Negotiator which was guaranteed by August 22nd (the most recent) has nevertheless not been designated.

July 8: Broker talks with Christine at Bank of America. Christine suggests there's a brand new method to advance towards the negotiator and it'll consider 2 days…by Friday we shall possess a negotiator. She teaches broker to contact again on Friday.

July 10: We've a negotiator, Robert Smith (that may just be approached via mail). Broker emails him and connected all suitable files in case (agreement, HUD type, etc).

July 15: Broker talks to consultant with Lender of America who recognizes the document is by using the negotiator in Phase-1 (meaning he's researching the document to ensure all of the paperwork will there be) after which it'll visit a Stage 2 negotiator who the ultimate approvals. We're educated the Phase-1 procedure may take as much as 30 business days till it would go to Stage 2 negotiator.

While you can easily see, we be seemingly obtaining the run around with Lender of America and therefore are acutely discouraged using the insufficient improvement this document has created because the signing of the agreement in February. As recommended, the price with this home reaches the estimated price, and all paperwork required is finished within the document. There appears to be no feeling of emergency about the bank’s finish particularly when our initiatives have already been determined. The empty home has become unmaintained and we're about prepared to leave out of this offer. We thought I would place one last-ditch work into discover if anybody will help transfer this forward. We comprehend Lender of America is very supported but ecommerce training is wholly inappropriate. Must I supply my customers with this particular insufficient support, I'd be out-of company and out-of employment.
