Another State—Florida—Sues Countrywide

We too were treated wrong. We have never been late on a mtg payment in 25 yrs of marriage until we both were laid off in '08. We called Countrywide in Oct. '08 to inform them of what was happening, they said they couldn't help us until we were late by two months. We called them back in Dec. and they said don't make any more payments on 1st or 2nd that they will get back with us. Went on-line to pay our 2nd mtg because we could afford it and found that they had locked our 1st mtg account, couldn't make payments if we wanted to. Remained current on 2nd mtg for 17 mos while sending 7 hardship letters and all docs for what we thought they were going to help us. Received final foreclosure letter end of Feb. '10 to be out by Mar. 19th. We started moving Mar. 12th and were done by 18th, checked our mailbox one last time on 18th and found a letter from their atty and courhouse a "Motion to Cancel Foreclosure Sale" (one day before it was to sell on the courthouse steps). By the way, the judge was extremely rude to us when we had our 5 min. consultation in her office. We spent $2,400. moving and securing a rental home because we didn't want an eviction on our record. We even left the home clean, left all our 2" blinds, surround sound speakers (because we didn't want to leave holes in the walls). We tried so hard to stay in our home only to be treated so wrong. It's too late....we'll rent from our new landlords and never do business with Countrywide or Bank of America again!!! If there is a lawsuit against them, we want to be a part of it, we want our moving expenses back, we want restitution for the stress this caused us.
