> Is your mortgage held by some fly-by-night bank

Even if it's not, it might be if someone decides to sell it. years ago, I went with a well known company, and in the disclosures they have fine print saying "we may sell this". 2 months after closing, they sold, and the new servicing company required $5 per payment 'fee'. I never agreed to that, but... essentially have no choice in the matter. Options? Spend another 4 figure amount to refinance and hopefully get a different servicing company?



Interesting. My mortgage has always gone the other way - initiated someplace small and unheard of, and then bought by a name-brand bank. Just luck or the draw, I suppose.


Yup. I was warned, not even in fine print, that it was almost assured that the mortgage would be sold one or more times. I'm on my 2nd, currently.


Those fees are usually illegal but good luck fighting it
