First Union did NOT sell your mortgage to HomEq; they simply transferred your mortgage to their very own non-bank subsidary! Undoubtedly, all mortgages taken out with First Union wind up with HomEq eventually, but they do not tell you that up front, do they? It is a sweet scam.... for the bank!
Search these reports and you will find the whole story posted about Fist Union/Wachovia and HomEq.
Many large banks have developed these non-bank subsidiaries for the purpose of avoiding so much Federal oversight; there is only one reason for that move and I don't think I need to spell it out!
You might search under Fairbanks and Ocwen as well for some ideas about where Federal complaints can be filed. The mortgage industry is in a mess; even Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are under fire.
Good luck to you in your search for truth and justice since both are in short supply in Corporate America these days!
