CA acct yesterday. In stack of unopened mail assumed to be the usual creditors, I found notice that our 9 BofA accts were written off as bad debt (total $60,000). Have done some reading about statue of limitations, what to watch out for with new owners of our debts, but have found nothing about how to reverse this. I admit that for the last couple of months I was so discouraged and we slacked off on attempts to resolve the mess and didn't open mail regularly. It's neither here nor there, but we also were bogged down with attorneys and family and probate of father's property, he died in March, where we have lived for several years, husband's illness/surgeries, blah blah blah. My question is this: We were in the process of getting a loan to purchase my siblings 2/3 share of our parent's property when this bank catastrophy began. I don't really understand how I get these debts paid off now, and I'm afraid to approach the lender now. What do I do first? How do I find out who owns my debts now? I'm at a loss, it's been a long 8 months. Thank you for reading this. Mary

Hi Mary, I am sorry to hear about your dad and the stress that you are going through with the banks. Do you have strong reasons to dispute the charges with the bank? If so, you will be able to get most of the nsf fees and other charges wiped off by the bank. This will bring down the total outstanding balance. If the problem was because of the ATM check card acct number, the bank will hold it against you and you will be forced to clear the account. In my opinion, you should speak to an expert who can handle the situation and find out list of all creditors from your credit report. Then, he will start negotiating with those creditors and arrange a lower repayment plan. You may consider a debt settlement plan which will bring down the total debt by 40% to 60%. You should be able to figure out some options with a professional debt counselor.
