BofA Accused Of Jerking Around 91-Year Old WW II Vet On Mortgage Payments

In Martinsburg, West Virginia, The Huffington Post reports:

• Peter Ruplenas, a 91-year-old combat photographer who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, is now battling Bank of America in federal court. The bank pretended not to receive Ruplenas' mortgage payments, which he made through a bankruptcy trustee, and tricked Ruplenas into thinking that he himself had to make the payments directly, the lawsuit alleges.

• Additionally, Ruplenas had applied for a modification under the Obama administration's Making Home Affordable program -- but for months, he received foreclosure notices at his house in Gerrardstown, W.V., causing "extreme emotional distress."

• Ruplenas told the American Forces Press Service in 2003 that being a combat photographer in three wars was "a beautiful job." He earned a Purple Heart after being shot in the Korean War.
