Quick, everyone who is in a delayed escrow now, bust out with your iPhone and make a music video! Trust me, it will work. Just ask  these clever and musically talented buyers who were waiting FOREVER for their loan to close on their new place. Despite high credit scores & perfect buyer profile, Bank of America kept stalling and stalling on closing their loan. So, at their wits end,this couple made a little music video (more like a video plea) to get BofA to take action...and guess what? It went viral and Bofa followed thru!

*Contrary to popular reports from Perez Hilton to Huffington Post, Carnie Wilson of 90's pop trio  Wilson Phillip's fame (and recently featured in Bridesmaids) is not in foreclosure. She says  "My house is not in foreclosure. My house is in a short sale." OK, she's not in foreclosure. She's in pre-foreclosure. [via Zap2it]

These buyers in Naples paid all cash for their house, but the clowns at Bank of America tried to foreclosure on them anyways. Even though the courts decided Bank of America was in the wrong, BofA  still wouldn't pay the buyers' attorney fees (a measily $2534). So buyers brought in lawyer, moving trucks and armed deputies to try and foreclose on the local BofA branch! (More details here at AG Beat.) Hooray for those buyers! And shame on Bank of America! Tsk Tsk!

Well at least the owners didn't try to bulldoze their own house like this guy from last year. Remember this webcast?

Question: For our loan, should we use our banker down the street? We’ve known him for years so we trust him. But should we still shop around? – Jillian in Alabama
