Bank of America reported Tuesday that it saw a profit of $6.2 billion during the third quarter of this year, compared to a loss of $7.3 billion a year ago. Perhaps the biggest headline-grabber gleaned from BofA's third-quarter numbers is that the company lost its position as the largest U.S. bank by assets. On the mortgage side of the business, BofA says it has successfully implemented the rollout of a single point of contact for default servicing. Provisions for credit losses declined 37 percent from the year-ago quarter.
