Can the bank back out of a loan modification offer after I have signed and notorized the loan modification offer? The reason I ask is I was approved for a loan mod in March. I have returned the notorized documents, made two payments as agreed at the new lower payment, and confirmed that they had recieved the docs and payments. I was told that my mod was complete and that they just had to update the system. I filed for bk a couple days later. when I called to find out where to send my payments the bk dept said my mod was not complete and they were not going to honor it! They transfered me to loss mit and they confirmed - again - the the "action status: complete" and that they had not applied my payments correctly and would contact the processor to correct this problem! OMG!!! Can they pull the offer if loss mit said it was complete before I filed but the bk dept doesn't know it? Do I have any legal recourse if they try to back out? |
