My mortage was recently sold to a financial institution that I nothing about and I had no say in the matter as a consumer. My mortage was initially with Bank of America. My mortgage was with them for 10 years and in good standing. To my knowledge, I did not miss a payment in those 10 years. I have a checking, saving, money market, and credit card with Bank of America, so it came as a shocked that my mortgage was being sold to another financial institution without any choice in the matter.
