Dear Sir/Madam,
I would advise your contacting an attorney immediately. You may find an attorney through sites such as lawyers.com. You may also contact the Florida Bar as they have a referral service or contact your county bar association for a referral. Hopefully, you have been saving the monthly mortgage payments that you have not made in a savings account so that you can become current with your loan once everything is straightened out with Bank of America. If you are unable to become current, Bank of America may file a foreclose suit against you, and then you would need to defend the foreclosure suit at the same time you attempt to settle the matter and bring your loan current. If you are foreclosed upon, you only have twenty days to respond once you have been served. Therefore, it is imperative that you find an attorney quickly so that you are not in default.
Sincerely,
