Bank of Ann Arbor Construction Loan Ledger vs Credit Reporting: $15.29M TransUnion Tradeline (Drs. Foerster & Petrou)

Context — Loan Status and Payment Instructions (February–March 2017)

On February 28, 2017, Cindy Livesay, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the Bank of Ann Arbor, and her counsel, Pam Ritter, met with Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou, with their counsel present, and representatives of Liberty Title.

During that meeting, Livesay stated that the construction loan had expired, that no further payments could be accepted, and that she could not take any action on the loan other than to report its status accurately to the credit bureaus.

Following the meeting, Dr. Foerster and Dr. Petrou made a $6,000 payment on March 2, 2017, as reflected in the Bank of Ann Arbor loan ledger.
