I am in the midst of a issue with my mortgage broker. My closing documents stated that I submit my payment to a lending institution and I was then advised to send the payment to a different institution that was connected to the mortgage broker.
I was advised that if I did not comply with their request that I would be in first payment default and foreclosure would begin immediately.
I sent the payment to the lending institution on my loan documents instead and they accepted my payment.
Also, that lending institution "sold" my mortgage to another lender and I just made my payment to them. If that payment is accepted by this new lender can I still be in "first payment default" and can this mortgage broker institution still foreclose on my property as I have another lender holding this loan?

Hi Lkranda,

Welcome to Mortgagefit forum.

Broker cannot dictate to you whom you will send the payments after loan closes. You did the right thing by sending the payment to the institution named on the loan document.

The payment you made to the new lender will surely be accepted, rest assured about that. Your loan documents must have been sent by now to the new lender and from now on he will be accepting the payments.

Did the previous lending institution give you the address of this new lender?

The mortgage broker cannot start foreclosure as he is no way connected to this loan. Only the lender who is servicing your loan has the right to receive the mortgage payments and in case of defaults to foreclose. I do not know how he is claiming that he can foreclose.

Did you ask the broker why you will have to send your payments to a different institution which is not named on your loan document?

Is this other lending institutions in way connected with servicing of your loan? If they are not then they can do nothing like what they are claiming they can.

I think that broker is trying to fraud you as lenders at least allow a borrower to continue the mortgage payments when they have 2 to 3 defaults before starting foreclosure. And this broker is saying that if the first payment is not sent they will start the foreclosure process.

Hi Lkranda,

Welcome to our community forums.

If your lending institution has already sold off your loan to another lender, you should be making your payments henceforth to the second lender. And, you have done it the right way. But I am skeptical about your broker. I mean how could he say that you should pay for the loan to an institution associated with the broker? The broker hasn't sold your loan to another institution. And, moreover it is not so easy to foreclose a loan. Lenders generally prefer avoiding foreclosure and suggest alternative options by which a borrower can come up with the payments.

Now, forget about the foreclosure; that's not going to happen actually. Perhaps your broker must have tried to extract more money from you. If you ask me frankly, I would say that once the loan is closed and you have paid the broker for his service to you, it is better that you deal with the lender directly as he will be concerned for your payments. And, if your loan has been sold, your payments should be accepted by the second lender who will be servicing your loan. Check what your loan document speaks about any change in the servicing. It is important that you go through the statements one again before asking your broker what he is up to by saying that you'll have a first payment default.

Hope this will help. If you have any more queries, feel free to share it with our community.

Regards,
Jessica
