Founded in 1990 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. was a mortgage company that specialized in originating, financing, securitizing, and servicing non-prime or subprime residential mortgage loans. The company experienced rapid growth during the housing boom of the early 2000s. However, it was severely impacted by the 2007-2008 subprime mortgage crisis, facing massive loan defaults, liquidity issues, and a collapse in its stock price. This led the company to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 1, 2009, and subsequently liquidate its assets, effectively ceasing all operations.
