Question by Where’s my scooby snack?: What reasons would a mortgage company have for calling a loan?
Is it the mortgage company or the bank that calls the loan?

What reasons would they have for doing so?

Answer by Take Dead Aim
typically, not always, mortgages are ‘committed financing’, which means that as long as you adhere to the terms and conditions of the mortgage, the lender is committed to the mortgage for the length of the term (anywhere from 1 year to 5 years, typically 5 years).

So falling behind in payments, losing your job, expiry of the term of the mortgage, drop in property value where the mortgage exeeds the value of the home are all typical conditions that if breached could have a lender call the loan.

if the mortgage is not committed financing, meaning it’s a demand loan where the lender can simply demand payment, then they need no reason to call the loan. They can call it anytime they want.

  1. Age of Reason Says:

    Neglect of the property is one. The Board of Health reported a neighbor and the lender foreclosed to rescue their investment.

  2. Janet P Says:

    Typically any breach of the contract terms or severe loss of the property. (say it burns down, they can demand payment) Additionally, problems with the local government may initiate this, such as not paying your property taxes or health and safety issues for the community.

    Generally only if the loan has been defaulted.

    http://loan-seeker.info/mortgage-loans/ has mortgage requirements, good lenders and mortgage rates, how to get approved for a mortgage, and all other laws and information.

  5. Beverly S Says:

    The death of the primary borrower, default on payments, balloon payment, loan fraud are some reasons. We don’t call loans unless there is a good reason.

    A couple of reason that a mortgage company would call a loan for are

    #1. Fraud, lying on the mortgage loan application or after the mortgage loan docs are signed, there are discrepancies that are found that is considered fraud.

    #2. Failure to occupy the property in which the loan was made for, leaving it empty

    #3. Renting the property as oppose to it being your primary resident as indicated on the loan docs you would have signed at the closing.

    #4. Selling the property to another person without the other person assuming the mortgage.

    A mortgage is very seldom if ever is called for #2-4. They could be, but are not high on the list of reasons to call a mortgage note.

    Mortgage companies or the banks are not normally the ones that would call a mortgage loan. Once the mortgage loan has closed the mortgage note is almost always sold to one of the larger investors that purchase mortgage loan notes. The two largest in the United States are Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac. There are many large to medium size companies that purchase mortgage notes.

    The person you applied for and got your mortgage loan from to include the bank might continue to service the mortgage loan, that is collect the monthly mortgage payment for the person they sold the mortgage note to.

    Then there are others that sell the mortgage note as well as the servicing of the mortgage note.

    I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

    If I can collect 1 Million names and take them to Congress, I think we can help ourselves, numbers talk and numbers get attention.

    The concept is simple and powerful. Gather the signatures of at least one million homeowners, and present them to our Congress with the express purposes of changing bank and loan servicing company’s practices. This petition will prove the veracity of the crisis that is taking place in America today. Banks are destroying people’s good names using deceptive practices and loan modification is a sham.

    Ask yourself this question: “When was the last time my bank cooperated in any way with helping me keep my home?” Or how about this one: “How many times must I fax document A before they receive it?” These issues are serious, and the banks treat us like we are “not their problem”. Well, if you think they should not be allowed to continue to hide behind regulatory loopholes while they take away everything from good people then sign this petition!

    If you would like to participate in this grassroots attempt to change this country’s current loan practices in time to save our homes please fill out the following form. This is completely private and confidential. It will be used for only the practice laid out above, and will not be disseminated to any other entity for any purpose whatsoever. This information will be destroyed upon completion of the act above described.
    This is an important day in America, and, for many of us, our days are numbered. The banks and servicing agencies who control our lives have abused their power for the last time. We need to send a message to Washington, and this petition is our voice! It is time for all of us to stand together to demand attention, for united we are many, and even a politician cannot ignore a million voices!
