Help. I have a BOA account that is Fannie Mae. Bank of America screwed around with our HAFA request on two offers and now Fannie Mae will not allow a postponement for the short sale. The seller has been 100% proactive and cooperative, the fault for delay is entirely on BOA. Can anyone give me advice on how I can get this postponed? I can't get Fannie Mae off their scripts to have a real conversation about this. I need an inside contact for help.

Rowena, at what point in the short sale process will FNMA postpone sale date? before final short sale approval or after?

Fannie Mae established a three postponement limit last year, but this property has only had one postponement. I guess we have new rules again. So much for helping homeowners avoid foreclosure.
Maybe its different in your state? You can always call Fannie Mae directly and ask to speak to level 2 rep and get some clarification and assistance regarding that.

I didn't know this, however they made their last payment in Sept 2010, eight months ago. Fannie Mae is being very agressive with this one. We listed as a short sale in August, trying to be proactive. The quickest a foreclosure can happen in NV is 7 months. Fannie is not giving anything on this one.

No. You need to document all requests and communications with the bank. Use as many names and dates as possible. Do not be an expert on short sale versues REO. It will not work if you do that. Remember paper beats rocks
@Previous SunTrust Negotiatior, when writing a letter to the Occ what whould the reason behind the postponement be? In other words would you be talking numbers to them? When escalating to FNME I would obviously show them the numbers and why the short sale is better vs foreclosure...what do you recommend as the spin to the oc

If default over 12 months is new rule.

You need to write a letter to the Treasury department or occ.gov
You can always write a letter to the President of Fannie. All this information can be found on google. Worst case scenerio they can rescind the sale.
