1. I recently dumped all my B of A credit cards

I started out many moons ago with four cards on four different banks. Over the years B of A bought them all out.

My local bank recently offered a card with a different card company, and the I got an AmEx card. I did keep one B of A card only because my Blue Cross payment is locked for the next two years.

3. I have one Citibank card

and one from our local community bank.

The Citibank has something like 25,000 credit limit; I have had it for years and years.
Use maybe 2-3x a year to keep it from getting rusty.

I figure that if I ever end up with a terminal illnes, it will time to max that card to the limit!

17 of 41 are about Countrywide.

And all of those misdeeds seem to have happened before 2008.

when the housing boom started to collapse.
Bank of America bought out Countrywide, and its crappy mortgages.
That deal has been haunting BOA ever since.

BOA also bought Merrill Lynch when it went bust,and inherited its bad loans.
