This is just one of our articles referencing the financial crisis, crash of the housing market, subprime, and more:

For the last hour we tried to access the First Horizon website to make a house payment. The website is not working. Whether you try http://www.firsthorizon.com/ or try it without the ‘www’ it makes no difference. You won’t be checking your account or making a payment because the First Horizon website is not working. We also tried our IP address locator, but the reply was the same: “We are unable to locate the address 208.223.181.200 at this time.”

With subprime issues and so many lenders experiencing problems we immediately became concerned. The cause could be unrelated to First Horizon, such as a construction problem or broken cable. We really don’t care, since national lenders should have redundant systems. We run a watchdog and consumer advocacy website called Household – HSBC Watch, and we receive complaints from all over the country about HSBC’s non-functional online payment site. Here are the reports. Therefore we shall file this First Horizon incident in the ‘watched items’ file for now.
