Mortgage Servicing Transfer Blackout Periods Block Payoffs During Property Sales
When mortgage servicers transfer loan servicing, blackout periods prevent consumers from obtaining payoff amounts or processing payments—creating a critical failure point for consumers who need to close a property sale during the transfer window. The consumer is forced to delay or risk missing a closing with no mechanism to override the blackout. Servicers bear no consequence for sales falling through during their administrative transition.
