    Colleague of mine thinks they were some kind of debt collection for Preferred.
  • Hi,

    Redstone are a a company that some lenders sell their books to. They are a non conforming lender, but as with any lender, pay the mortgage on time and you should not have too many problems.

    Lots of people have major problems with them, but then the people I talk to are in arrears with them!!!

    Capstone are a mortgage servicing company to the best of my knowledge, owned by Lehman Brothers (the owner of the now defunct brands of Preferred and SPML). They may well not still own your mortgage, which was probably securitised or sold on straight after you took it out.
  • midge61,

    As I have mentioned, i am sure they are a run of the mill lender if you do not breach the agreement you have with them.

    A lot of lenders, whether justifiably or not, are pigeon-holed as being quite tough lenders. Quite simply, pay the mortgage and they will leave you alone!!!
