How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The notice deadline was October 31, 2018 — this has already passed. Reach out to the Distribution Agent at (800) 231-1815 right away to learn if any remedy remains.
- Only use the official site www.BOAMortgageObligations.com — scam sites sometimes impersonate SEC investor distributions.
- The form must have been postmarked or received by the deadline; a signed but late form is likely disqualified without a court-approved extension.
- You must satisfy both conditions: purchased before March 20, 2008 AND held on March 20, 2008. One without the other disqualifies you.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
