These idiots just robo called me with an announcement about Obama's Making Home Affordable program. Time to report them to the Do Not Call list people. Robo calls are illegal whether you are on the DNC list or not.
Bank of America ABSOLUTELY is who is providing our information as I received a call from this number a few minutes ago with a automated message to call another number that I was unable to write down as I was not in a situation to do so.
I say it's Bank of America, because we are notified by the credit bureaus whenever anyone checks our credit. Bank of America checked our credit for some unknown reason a couple of weeks ago and now we get this call.
We were harassed by hundreds of groups a few months ago within 24 hours of our having contacted Bank of America through a representative of HUD/HOPE to gain assistance in actually TALKING WITH A LIVING HUMAN BEING at Bank of America to see about lowering our interest rate.
Since President Obama recently renegotiated a deal with the banks, we are being solicited, illegally btw, by attorneys from all over the USA to join their class action suit against BofA. But, these places all want substantial upfront charges ($5,000 for retainer)!
These banks need to come down. I've given BofA every chance to meet our request.
It should be ILLEGAL for banks to sell personal information!!!
btw.... Bank of America's representative would NOT speak to us as long as the HUD/HOPE representative was on the line BECAUSE HUD/HOPE RECORDS THE CONVERSATION. The SECOND they hung up, Bank of America disconnected the call. When we call back again, the HUD/HOPE rep refused to disengage and we were transferred to another department, going through everything all over again. AGAIN, BofA representative insisted HUD/HOPE get off call. As soon as they did, the BofA rep said we had the wrong department and AGAIN disconnected the call!! (several hours wasted over 2 days!!)
Bank of America SHOULD go down in flames. Too bad it will cost thousands of innocents their jobs. But then, thousands of innocents have lost their hard earned savings and investments thanks to Bank of America and others like them.
Yeah, same thing happened to me with Chase and GMAC. The mortgage servicers won't let HUD/HOPE line record their phone conversations. Here's what you do: record it yourself. Document it and date it. Then, contact your Attorney General, Senator, Congressman, etc. And, best of all, take your records down to your local FBI office. Yes, the Federal Bureau of Investigations. They're very interested in all of the phone recordings that I've made where I get hung-up on, sent to India, given wrong telephone numbers that don't work, etc. Yes, call the FBI, because I was told that they are investigating all of this. It is MORTGAGE FRAUD and breaks a million other consumer protections. The Big Banks don't realize that they are really going to feel this dishonesty now.
That is all true. There is fraud with these people.
However, I have been called several times as well and have been following these threads. I paid off my mortgage over 10 years ago!
So add cold calling to the list of all the other stuff that has been said. These are not just highly targeted calls where some bank or mortgage holder gives them your number.
