Currently, the said loans are transferred to a new mortgage company, XXXX XXXX, effective XXXX. BSI Financial Services have forwarded the information that those 8 properties are not impounded, contrary to the status upon transfer from XXXX XXXX XXXX last XX/XX/XXXX.

By XXXX, BSI Financial Services must be done with their research and the issue should be fixed and settled.
