...the concept of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Not only is the foreclosure still open on the real estate that was sold and the sale recorded 12-23-09, but today (February 7, 2010) in the mail I got a nice letter from BofA wanting to let me know they have received my letter permitting them to speak with my buyer's attorney. Buyer retained that attorney late October & I sent letter of permission on November 11, 2009. I guess it finally made its way to the top of the incoming stack?
