Yes, Selene is a real company. It is a residential mortgage company based out of Texas.
Selene definitely is a real company, but real companies sometimes do unfair things. If you have complaints about Selene, you can share them.
Selene Finance is a mortgage loan servicer. A mortgage loan servicer is a company that sends mortgage statements to you, keeps track of your interest, responds to questions, and otherwise manages the loan. A loan servicer can manage loans they have originated or loans provided by other lenders.
Selene is not a direct lender. A direct lender is the financial institution that loans money for mortgages. They can choose to manage the loans they provide or use a loan servicer to manage on their behalf.
Selene is not a debt collector. A debt collection company buys existing loans or debt for pennies on the dollar and after taking ownership of the loan, tries to collect the full amount.
However, Selene is a loan servicer so they will follow up with you, communicate with you, and call about payments on your mortgage.
There are situations where a direct lender may not service their loans so they sell them to companies like Selene. If you took out a mortgage with another direct lender, and then received information that it was being transferred or sold to Selene, this was likely why. In other cases, lenders will not keep debt on their accounts if the debt is delinquent, so they sell it to companies like Selene to remove it from their accounts and concurrently bring in more cash for additional loans.
