Bank of America 'called grieving widow 48 times a day to remind her of husband's debt'

Deborah Crabtree, from Honolulu, Hawaii, is suing the bank after she said she was called by debt collectors as often as every 15 minutes including during the wake for her husband.

According to papers filed in Hawaii, Mrs Crabtree told the bank that she would pay the debt as soon as she received her husband's life insurance pay out, but the bank continued to threaten to foreclose on her home.

It is also claimed that the bank started to ask to speak to Mrs Crabtree's husband, even though she repeatedly told them he was dead.
