The American Banker reports today that “Bank of America, in a new public filing, said it had $11.2 billion of “unresolved” mortgage buyback requests at June, a 50% spike since the beginning of the year.”
These buyback disputes are with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($5.6 billion), although AB reported BofA “is having trouble with claims made to mortgage insurance firms” — in particular, the monoline insurers, for another $4 billion.
AB quoted the bank’s 10-Q SEC filing as acknowledging that “disputes have increased with buyers and insurers regarding representations and warranties.”
BofA is the second largest residential funder in the US
