As I am not interested in being sued for anything, I have changed the names to protect the stupid. I got a loan through a broker from Lender X. In May I was told that my loan was sold, and I would now be dealing with Company Y. So for my June 1st payment I called Company Y and found out that although the loan was not set up yet, I could send in my payment with my Social Security number on it, and once the loan was officially in their system the payment would be credited to my account. Two weeks later I got another letter from lender X, saying that effective June 1st (letter dated June 16th) my loan was being transferred to Company Z. I immediately called the lender and said "Hey, my last payment went to Company Y". They said not to worry, Company Y will send the payments received either back to them or to Company Z, the correct loan servicer. It had been a big screwup that was not their fault, but of the investment firm that bought the note. Company Z said the same thing, and when I asked about my July 1st payment, I was told "Don't send it in, wait until we notify you with the loan account number and remittance address." Today I received a check from Company Y refunding me for my June 1st payment. According to the Real Estate Settlement Proceedures Act (12 U.S.C. 2605) I am not late on a payment if I send a payment to the old servicer. Yeah, great. But I sent it to the "new" one, who was actually the "wrong" one. Am I screwed? If I get forclosed on I will sue X,Y and Z, probably the Mortgage Broker and the real estate agent. But what the heck can I do now to get this straightened out? Anyone able to help? Mark
