I am now at about 2 years with having made no mortgage payments - Sept 2009 was last payment. In January 2010 my debts - including mortgage - were discharged in Ch. 7 BK. About a year ago I received a letter from BofA stating my mortgage was being sent to their "Foreclosure Review" department. I have not heard anything since. I keep checking the Wisconsin circuit court web site but no lawsuit has yet been filed against me.
Before filing BK I had tried on 3 occasions to modify my loan. Each time they came up with something that would reduce my payment by an amount so small it didn't help or they would reduce the payment amount for 3 months - each time it was a joke - no help whatsoever. In March 2010 as I was preparing to go another round with them in the modification dance, the company I had worked for for 20 years went out of business due to the recession. I decided to not even attempt another modification. Figured the debt had been discharged so I'd just sit tight till they kicked me out while I looked for another job.
I am still in the house and taking advantage of this time with no mortgage/rent payment to go back to school. Looks like I might just make it here till I graduate next May.
Wondering if anyone else in Wisconsin is in similar situation with BofA? My loan originally was owned by Countrywide so maybe that makes a difference as to why there's been no action?
