This happens frequently when banks merge, reshuffle, etc.
The loan has not been sold at this time. The loan was sold
to one of the government finance agencies (GNMA, FNMA) and
they parcelled it out with millions of others to various
investors. What was sold in your client's case was the loan
servicing contract for which the servicing company collects
about 1/4% of the interest rate. The payee just changed
names and addresses. The loan remains as it was. Continue to
amortize the points until the loan is completely gone.

Client refinanced his home last year and I was amortizing
his loan fee over the 30 years of the new mortgage. This
year he told me his bank, A, had sold his loan to bank B.
If he had refinanced on his own, I could take the balance
of the loan fee this year. But what happens to it when the
bank sells the loan? It is obviously paid off by Bank B but
not by the client.
