Mortgage Lender In Bankruptcy
What happens if my mortgage lender goes bankrupt?
Banks and other mortgage lenders are required to have what is called "mortgage servicing rights" (MSR). This means they hold the legal right to take action on your property, like foreclosing or selling it. The MSR finances the bank's ability to help you keep up with your mortgage payments.
If a bank goes out of business, its MSR rights would still be held by another entity—it just wouldn't be the original bank that lent you money. This can make a big difference in how the process plays out.
If the new owner doesn't want your home, they might sell it at auction to recoup some of their money. Or they might take over your loan and try to make you pay it off. This can be tricky since they don't have all of the information about you that your original bank did, which could delay or even stop them from taking action.
Things To Know When a Mortgage Lender Goes Bankrupt
The last thing you want to worry about is the state of your mortgage lender. Still, it's a good idea to know your risks if you're dealing with a mortgage company going through bankruptcy proceedings.
The most common reason for this is that they were either unable or unwilling to keep up with new market regulations and requirements, as well as the loss of profitability due to homeowners being unable to pay mortgages due to unemployment or other factors.
What happens if your lender goes bankrupt? During a bankrupt scenario, the lender will sell the mortgage assets and assets on other loans to another financial institution.
If your lender goes bankrupt, you'll be notified of the change. They'll send you a notice with information about where to send your payment. You'll also likely be asked to make a new mortgage payment.
The lender or servicer may also sell your loan to someone else. In this case, it's essential to make sure that your payment goes to the right place.
