If I take out a loan from CIBC and they sell it (along with 5000 other loans) to Citi am I informed that my creditor is no longer CIBC (although they may continue to service the loan) but Citi?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm wondering how a debtor can navigate whatever evidence is used to show that the party initiating a foreclosure is the legitimate debt holder. If I thought my debt was to CIBC and suddenly I find out that some law firm, who acquired by loan from Citi, is foreclosing on me, how do I know that is legitimate?
