If there isn't a decisive action made, the next call would be to the local regulatory agency.  

Regulatory capture is a thing, though.)Is that far more than you wanted to know about it? 

I guess there has to be a commission agreement where the agent/principle working on his own behalf is charging a commission to himself with disclosures that he is Not representing the other side.I just see regulatory issues setting up this type of situation.It shouldn’t be hard to see sow New Western sets this up and decide if it’s worth the risk.

Also, the seller can file a complaint with Colorado Dept of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).

If in Canada, be advised that the regulatory and legal process here differs from the U.S.A. and some of what gets covered in Denver, will not carry over.If in the U.S.A., check on regulations w/r to foreign (Canadian) participation in syndications.  

There may be some agreement or policy the servicer has with their investors like, if an asset reaches a certain level of delinquency, they sell it, or something to that effect but those are always business decisions, not regulatory decisions.When a loan enters foreclosure, servicer (Might be lender, might be bank, might not) MIGHT pass that risk/cost to new servicer.
