Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company Hotline Information for Borrowers
NEW UPDATE 9/10/09: Today's update is an edited, condensed transcript of my conversation with BOA spokesperson Rick Simon. Cenlar is a legitimate loan servicing company and Roundpoint is NOT A SCAM. The situation is confusing, but not fake. 9/01/09 Yesterday, we reported that Bank of America taking over servicing rights for FHA loans and Ginnie Mae loans previously held by Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company.Earlier this month, Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company, which is owned by Colonial BancGroup shut its doors. Dozens of Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company borrowers called the Clark Howard Show and Ilyce Glink Show to ask what they should do. Should they pay their old loans or new loans? How could they find out if their loans funded? The FDIC and Federal Reserve Bank have set up customer hotlines you can call to get information.

Today on the Ilyce Glink Show - June 21, 2009
Today on the Ilyce Glink show, Ilyce discussed her trip last week to Washington, DC for the National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE) meeting. We had a number of questions about long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance is expensive, but it can be a lot more affordable if you buy it in your early 50s or 60s rather than waiting until you're in your 70s or 80s, when it can be unaffordable.
