• Bank of America has postponed — for 60 days — foreclosure on her home of 14 years. Gauvin said she is talking to a bank representative about changing the terms of her mortgage. [...] On Tuesday, the bank assigned an employee to her case. Prior to that, numerous calls from Gauvin and her lawyer to the bank had gone without a response from anyone familiar with her case, compounding Gauvin's frustration as foreclosure loomed closer.

• On Tuesday, a Bank of America customer service representative called four times, Gauvin said. "It's a step in the right direction," said attorney Christopher Perry, who is representing Gauvin for free. Gauvin has a 60-day postponement while the bank reviews her file, Perry said. He said he thinks bad publicity motivated the bank's actions.
