The Bank of America reportedly made a mistake with a customer’s loan and ended up suing her because of it.
Diane Jaques, a 75-year-old homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts, was sued by the Bank of America after the financial institution accidentally discharged her loan prematurely, reports local Boston public news outlet WBUR.
“It’s ridiculous. It’s their mistake…
I’ve never missed a payment. I get the bill every month and I pay it.”
According to the lawsuit, she and her husband originally took out a $200,000 home equity line of credit from FleetBoston Financial, which later merged with Bank of America. Her husband has since died.
After the merger, Bank of America says it took steps to clean up FleetBoston’s paperwork on some 16,000 mortgages.
