The servicing business has been going through some changes lately in the form or mergers and acquisitions. Obscene profits can be made in the servicing arena. Especially in today’s market of delinquencies and defaults.

All this spells is extra fees and income for today’s servicers.

So, it is no surprise that Litton, an affiliate of Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs, have purchased Fremont Generals massive $12.2 billion dollar servicing portfolio.

Fremont General:

FREMONT GENERAL CORPORATION ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO SELL ITS REMAINING MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS TO LITTON LOAN SERVICING LP

(BREA, CALIFORNIA) – May 8, 2008: Fremont General Corporation (”Fremont General” or the “Company”) (OTC: FMNT), doing business primarily through its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Fremont Investment & Loan (”FIL”), announced today that FIL has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Litton Loan Servicing LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. (”Litton”), that provides for the sale of FIL’s remaining mortgage servicing rights (”MSR’s”) on their $12.2 billion serviced loan portfolio (as of March 31, 2008).
