Bank of America 2014 181
The table below presents the carrying value of loans that
entered into payment default during 2014, 2013 and 2012 that
were modified in a TDR during the 12 months preceding payment
default. Total carrying value includes loans with a carrying value
of $2.0 billion, $2.4 billion and $667 million that entered into
payment default during 2014, 2013 and 2012 but were no longer
held by the Corporation as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
due to sales and other dispositions. A payment default for home
loan TDRs is recognized when a borrower has missed three monthly
payments (not necessarily consecutively) since modification.
Payment defaults on a trial modification where the borrower has
not yet met the terms of the agreement are included in the table
below if the borrower is 90 days or more past due three months
after the offer to modify is made.

Credit Card and Other Consumer
Impaired loans within the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio
segment consist entirely of loans that have been modified in TDRs
(the renegotiated credit card and other consumer TDR portfolio,
collectively referred to as the renegotiated TDR portfolio). The
Corporation seeks to assist customers that are experiencing
financial difficulty by modifying loans while ensuring compliance
with federal, local and international laws and guidelines. Credit
card and other consumer loan modifications generally involve
reducing the interest rate on the account and placing the customer
on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months, all of which are
considered TDRs. In addition, the accounts of non-U.S. credit card
customers who do not qualify for a fixed payment plan may have
their interest rates reduced, as required by certain local
jurisdictions. These modifications, which are also TDRs, tend to
experience higher payment default rates given that the borrowers
may lack the ability to repay even with the interest rate reduction.
In all cases, the customer’s available line of credit is canceled.
The Corporation makes loan modifications directly with borrowers
for debt held only by the Corporation (internal programs).
Additionally, the Corporation makes loan modifications for
borrowers working with third-party renegotiation agencies that
provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures
(external programs). The Corporation classifies other secured
consumer loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7
bankruptcy as TDRs which are written down to collateral value and
placed on nonaccrual status no later than the time of discharge.
For more information on the regulatory guidance on loans
discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see Nonperforming Loans and
Leases in this Note.
All credit card and substantially all other consumer loans that
have been modified in TDRs remain on accrual status until the
loan is either paid in full or charged off, which occurs no later than
the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past
due or generally at 120 days past due for a loan that was placed
on a fixed payment plan after July 1, 2012.
The allowance for impaired credit card and substantially all
other consumer loans is based on the present value of projected
cash flows, which incorporates the Corporation’s historical
payment default and loss experience on modified loans,
discounted using the portfolio’s average contractual interest rate,
excluding promotionally priced loans, in effect prior to
restructuring. Credit card and other consumer loans are included
in homogeneous pools which are collectively evaluated for
impairment. For these portfolios, loss forecast models are utilized
that consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
historical loss experience, delinquency status, economic trends
and credit scores.
