Bank of America is halting foreclosure sales in all 50 states as part of a widening investigation into flaws in the process, the company announced Friday.
The announcement came a week after the nation’s largest bank said it was freezing home foreclosures in 23 states where foreclosures must be approved by the courts. The latest move by Bank of America extends a review of foreclosure documents to all states, regardless of the required legal processes.
The bank said the foreclosure process on delinquent borrowers will continue, but it will not proceed to judgment or a foreclosure sale.
“Our ongoing assessment shows the basis for our past foreclosure decisions is accurate,” said Bank of America spokesman Dan Frahm in an e-mailed statement.
