The bank was working with us at Thanksgiving. They said we would qualify- no problem. My husband lost his job and just started working again. We had a child 4 weeks in icu this year. The bank told us to fill out all the paper work and they would stop our auction date or postpone it. Well this week we called and they had not taken out home off the auction . They said, “you dont qualify” . They had been string us all along! We went to the HAMP home page and it says “for loans under $750,000. Well we have a loan of $1,300,000 and it is a neg am loan. We bought the land with $350,000 cash and then built a home on it. The value went from $2,000,000 to $700,000. We are behind in payments and there is no way to ever get caught up. My husbands job depends on the economy getting better as he is in construction and that has halted!

my sister-in-law lost her job of 35 years and shortly after the house their father left to her in ohio;my brother lost his job in fl a year ago and 3 mo later my sister-in law lost hers, and noone is bailing them out from them loosing their house either …now the day after Thanksgiving we get a notice from the sheriff that our landlord goes to court the 15th of Dec. for the foreclosure sale of our property…she hasn’t paid on our property for 6 months even thou we have been giving her rent and doing maint. on the property…i tryed to talk to the bank about us taking over on a short sale but they don’t want to talk to us…guess who the bank for all our properties is…the shisters who got our tax money and don’t want to help anyone with it…BANK OF AMERICA!!!! when is somebody going to do something to these people who are getting richer at the expense of us and our children? its almost Christmas and this bank has proven to be the real scrooge; eg:”let them all die and decrease the surplus population”….i for one don’t think they have the right to use the name of our great country in their bank’s name because they aren’t acting like Americans!!!!!!!

My daughter has been trying for months to get help with her mortgage, she was laid off for a year and now has a job but it doesn’t pay what she was making and can’t afford her payments…Bank Of America is the biggest jerks of all…they refuse to help, deceived her into thinking they were helping and now, her house will be auctioned off on the 2 of Nov. we have tried to get help form various agencies to no avail…where is the help the gov. promised?? I am so sick of the false hope people give us…what is the bank going to accomplish? the house isn’t worth what she paid for it, they will lose over $200,000!! Wouldn’t it be better to help her stay in her house and make smaller payments?? I will shout from the rooftops for people NOT to deal with B Of A…ever!!!! they were bailed out but won’t give the same help to others…shame on you b of a….

We were well able to make our mortgage payment until the economy went downhill and work hours were cut…we tried to refinance through our bank (option one) and were told we had to come up with a very large amount of money to be able to do this. We tried through two other banks with similar results and ended up losing our home anyway….with bad credit is there any help out there so that my family can have a home again??

we have applied for loan modification and all our bank offered us was a $130. less a month on our mortgage and life of loan extended for another 10 years, so instead f 30 yr loan now is 40 yrs. i though the help was going to be better than that. what can i do now? i can not afford my mortgage and i dont want to loose my home.
