Consumer complaint received 11/16/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Bank of America willfully violated The FLORIDA CONSTITUTION under Article X Miscellaneous, Section 4. Homestead ; exemptions. This exemption protects property from forced sale under process of any court, and no judgment, decree or execution shall be a lien thereon, except for the payment of taxes and assessments thereon, obligations contracted for the purchase, improvement or repair thereof, or obligations contracted for house, field or other labor performed on the realty. 

Bank of America failed to file a foreclosure action against The XXXX XXXX XXXX who owned the property under the Florida Constitution effective XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Bank of America knew that the property was not owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX and was owned by The XXXX XXXX XXXX But failed to include the XXXX in its foreclosure action. Bank of Amerce committed fraud on the court and had the court issue judgement against me knowing that XXXX XXXX XXXX did not own the property. The property was auctioned off and Bank of America won the bid and sold the property to a third party. 


The illegal issue at hand is that XXXX XXXX XXXX did not own the property that Bank of America sold to a third party. In other words, Bank of America failed to file a foreclosure action in XXXX XXXX, XXXX, against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who owned the property. The property owned before their foreclosure action of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was and is The XXXX XXXX XXXX as prescribe under the Florida Constitution.

Florida Statute that provides that property owned by a land trust may be homestead property. F.S. 689.071 Florida Land Trust Act.
