Bank of America threatened foreclosure with ex-home owner over $1.00

BofA Threatens Foreclosure Over Missing $1 From Already-Sold Home

Shantell Curtis and her family were threatened with foreclosure months after they had sold their Vernal, Utah house. What's more, the problem revolved around a single dollar, Connect2Utah.com reports (h/t The Consumerist). Months after the Curtises sold and moved out of the home in August of last year, their lender, Bank of America, reportedly sent them a foreclosure notice.

Bank of America claimed the family owed months of missed mortgage payments, before realizing a $1 coding error had held up the Curtises' title transfer. While BofA has taken months to resolving the issue, the Curtises' credit report has taken a beating since then.

The episode is far from the first foreclosure mishap BofA has dealt with in recent months, and not even the smallest dollar amount related to foreclosure threats. In June, BofA tried to foreclose on a man living in Massachusetts over a missed mortgage payment totaling $0.00.

2. One MORE reason for people to close their BofA accounts.
Now THAT'S the kind of "starve the beast" approach I could get behind. Too bad I don't HAVE an account there.

Maybe I could open one just so I could go there in a huff and close it and give them an earful. It's tempting.

3. Too big to fail?
How about to big to conduct business properly?
That's possible you know.

A company becomes SO BIG that they just can't operate efficiently anymore.
Such is BOA.

They should be out of business.

5. As I tell BoA every time I have to speak to their customer service...
"Pissing off every customer you have on a daily basis is NOT a business model to be proud of."
