Shantel Curtis owned a home in Vernale, Utah. She sold it last year. At the time of the sale her agents were made to pay off her existing mortgage with Bank of America. However, Bank of America made a mistake and did not accept her mortgage as being paid in full. Bank of America made a one dollar “coding error”. Their records didn’t reflect the house had been sold. Their records showed Shantel Curtis as the owner.
Bank of America Forecloses for One Dollar
As a result of Bank of America’s mistake, they brought a foreclosure action against Shantel Curtis. They notified credit bureaus of this foreclosure action. This destroyed Shantel’s credit! They took all of this action even though the house was paid off and it wasn’t owned by Shantel!
More than five months have now passed and Bank of America still hasn’t sent Shantel a letter showing that his problems has been resolved.
Shantel told KUT TV, “they said they had to keep reprocessing it and this has been a game we’ve been playing ever since. They just say they need to reprocess papers.” This all took place while the current owners of Shantel’s former home had no idea what was going on. They have a mortgage, but it is not with Bank of America. The spokesman for Bank of America said that they were looking into the problem.
