They get bought. Unless you are in default nobody wants to call you loan. Most of the value in your paper is in future interest. It (and you) will be sold to the highest bidder who will most likely try to get you to borrow more from them not less.
The bank is in default not you. You are worth money to the creditor who is foreclosing on the bank. You will most likely be sold to another bank.
What you may not know is your loan was probably sold long ago and is probably owned by Fanniemae, ginnemae or freddiemac now. Nothing will change.
My neighbor is a broker and she thinks there will be a bail out in the next two years. I dont think it is as bad where u ive but in Ohio we are going through alot of bad lending issues…..I know they usually have people who take the loans over and it will not affect you!
It will be sold to another lender and you will pay the same amount.
You will be fine (99% sure), as the company’s loans will get bought out…I am assuming American Home Mortgage….
Your loan will not be callable.
Your loan is an asset and banks don’t file bankruptcy and go away. They get gobbled up by the bigger banks.
Your loan will be sold to someone and your terms will remain the same. If, and this is a big if, something does happen, you can always refiance.

I work as a Lending Consultant, and there is absolutely nothing that can happen to you. Your loan is protected with the RESPA disclosures that you signed.
Just because a Lending Company closes their doors, does not mean that they will sell your loan, at times you will have Companies that have to stop funding loans, but still are servicing their loans. They to have debts to pay to the investors that have backed them.
However IF your loan does sale, they can not change the terms of your loan, unless stated in you loan, for example and arm or balloon that you might have signed when you originally signed for your home note. If I am not wrong, you have to be given written notice of the transfer 20 days prior to the transfer, and with this you are in a protection of payments during the first 60 days of transfer. What this means is that as you are getting situated with the new Lender and they are getting your file transfered to them and all of the documents, if you do become late it can not be placed on your credit as negative reporting, during the time of transfer. DO make sure that you look throught the welcome letter and watch for any letters that will be coming, for example you Insurance information to make sure that it is switched over to the new Lender, and that there are not owed back fees with the past Lender, if there are back fees, the new lender has the right to collect on them and many times will divide them into a month break down to be paid over a period of time. Again no matter what you do on your home loan, the rate and term can not change, unless you had an adjustable mortgage to begin with. The only thing that can change is if your Ins., Taxes or other owed fees changed, which can change yearly. If the new Lender does change anything you have the right to call and get exact information as to why, and stay on top of it until you get a break down of why they changed your fees. If it does not seem right, you can make a complaint, and should do so immediatly.
Assets will be bought by other institutions at a discount. Your payments will be made by you to a different institution.
Yes, I think the watchdogs have failed again and most independant mortgage lenders are gone for good
