Throughout the loan modification procedure Bank of America had repeatedly requested and received the exact same documents from Dunn. Then the bank claimed to want homeowner Dunn to send official documents proving he was deceased, in order to complete his loan modification.

&#13

At very first I gave Bank of America the benefit of the doubt, thinking they had created a mistake,” stated Dunn. ” I immediately contacted the bank to inform them that, not only was I still alive, but I was the only borrower on my house loan, and I was nevertheless seeking a modification.

&#13

Dunn mentioned he spent several weeks creating phone calls, writing letters and emailing the bank’s client relations manager. Right after a lot more than a month of back and forth with Bank of America and nevertheless getting nowhere, Dunn received a new letter requesting not only his death certificate, but a statement of death benefits to go along with it.

It was weird. I felt like I was fighting for my life. At one particular point a representative laughed about it more than the phone I was in shock.”

&#13

“I made this film not just for myself, but so that it might be the voice of numerous other people who may be becoming treating this way by lending institutions. I have been told several stories of older folks that some banks are bullying and most of those individuals don’t have a voice, according to Dunn.

Father Shares Journey of Daughters Illness, Death and New Methods to Survive Grief Charles Schmidtke Releases New Book

Posted on by


Tonawanda, NY (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

Even academic training in death, dying, spirituality and cultural values doesnt prepare a father for the death of his daughter at age 21. In this new book, a professor emeritus shares his private journey with grief and his struggle for meaning and health. He examines U.S. cultural expectations of grief and the feelings tied up with the death of a loved one. Author Charles Schmidtke spent years speaking to other parents in grief assistance sessions and with pals and family members, sooner or later coming to the realization that unhealthy attitudes and approaches to grieving exist in American society. Specialist care providers also re-enforce unfavorable attitudes, he believes.

&#13

Riding the Subway with Heidi: A Fathers Journey of Grieving provides a new point of view on the grieving method, exposing cultural myths that hinder grieving and offering techniques to integrate the approach into day-to-day life. The author shares individual information of Heidis diagnosis in August 2000 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, the roller coaster of therapies she received and her death in February 2003 following a relapse. A remembrance service a couple of years later for any individual in western New York mourning for a child inspired the books title: Schmidtke felt like he was forever riding a subway and not controlling the contours of the journey. Even though he could move from auto to automobile or switch to an additional line, he couldnt get away.

&#13

Attitude will define the subway ride how 1 journeys on the subway is what matters, he writes. Individuals can affirm their loved ones life and seek healing, or try to compartmentalize the grief in a futile try to move on, or lament the journey and location blame, generating the subway ride miserable for everybody. Schmidtke admits he has struggled in between the emotional influence of Heidis death and intellectual reasoning to make sense of it all. He and his family members treasure the moments they had with the spirited Heidi, as well as indicators theyve observed after her passing and the inspirational words she wrote to her family and other cancer sufferers. This new exploration of death and its effects will resonate with anybody who has encountered the death of a loved a single.

&#13

Author Charles Schmidtke is professor emeritus after serving as an administrator and teaching at a private, Jesuit college in Buffalo, getting led courses in philosophy, English, anthropology, psychology, sociology, communication and gerontology. The grandfather of eight serves as a conference deacon preaching and major worship in parishes all through western New York by means of the Evangelical Lutheran church, and operates with parishes in transition. &#13
