RESPA is a federal statute so I would think that this sort of thing could be happening all over the place… like in all 50 states. And it’s also worth mentioning that what Bank of America is accused of here, is every bit as true for Chase, Wells, One West, US Bank, Aurora, Saxon… are you feeling me here?

A homeowner wrote to me the other day, and I could tell from her emails that she had been through the ringer trying to get a loan modification.
