    Well if I'm understanding this. You had a first mortgage with the bank. Then you got a line of credit with another bank. The first bank bought the line of credit from the second bank. Now you owe the first bank for both loans. You are compensating them by making payments. They may also have bought the HELOC at a discount. The other bank might be willing to do this to get back their investment sooner than you could pay them.
