Custom and practice in the lending industry as well as required by each state law is that when a loan evidenced by a written promissory note and secured by a mortgage is sold and transferred to a new owner with a different servicer, the borrower is required to be notified in writing of the event.

If there is a stay in place as to any foreclosure proceeding concerning your home, the new owner of the loan cannot legally begin foreclosure proceedings unless the automatic stay has been lifted. I would consult with your bankruptcy attorney about the subject you are writing about. Good luck.
