Bank of America is accustomed to making mistakes but this latest one will be costing many of their short sales to get decline in error. In all the movement of trying to get everyone on the new equator system the lender seems to have lost track of things and has sent many of its FHA and other Government Loans, including some Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac files which are supposed to go through the old traditional path ways.

We attribute much of this to poor training given to the agents on the floor, which maybe apparent, but it is extremely important for the professional to pick out as the Short Sale Department advises what they and if they are not sure they can make up any reason as to why your file has been declined. When we request information for our clients it is important to know all the details. In an example there was a case where we came across an investor FHLMC (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp) which was important to know as it is part of the Freddie Mac portfolio. The Short Sale Department counselor had no idea in this case that this was a Freddie Mac and immediately it is important to know that she was not on the right path because she immediately followed with, “this file is not a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae Loan”. These types of issues happen all the time. Bank of America is not to blame because you try out information dissemination but it doesn’t make the lives of anyone dealing with these problems any easier.
