Actually you did sign a contract agreeing to pay them. Every lender uses either a Trust Deed or a Mortgage which contains an assignment clause. When you agree to take out the loan, you agree to pay whomever owns that obligation. You also sign agreeing that if they transfer ownership of the loan you will continue paying to that entity. If this were not the case you would see the mortgage market absolutely seize up.
The Liquidity afforded by being able to assign the notes associated with real estate is one of the beautiful functions of our market that allows us to have money available for making loans. Without this you would be relegated to always visiting your local banker for a mortgage, and would have very little in the way of choices or options.
