That's
consistent with what I've seen. I have a client right now
that's been trying to do a loan modification with B of A. The
client is an attorney, so knows how to follow rules. They
submit everything that's required. Then B of A sends out a
letter saying they're missing things and the client has 1 week
to submit (or resubmit) the additional information. Client does
this. Then B of A sends another letter a couple weeks later
saying the same thing. I've received 4 letters so far over the
course of about 4 months.

Went through the same thing with Wells Fargo for another client.
