Mortgage Servicer Transfers Cause Misapplied Payments and False Default Status
When mortgage servicing is transferred between companies, receiving servicers misapply payments, reverse prior payments incorrectly, and place accounts in default status without cause. The transition period creates a window where accurate account state is lost between systems. Consumers suffer credit damage and default consequences for payments that were correctly made to the prior servicer.
