Escrow double-billed for insurance after homeowner switches provider
When homeowners switch insurance providers and pay the new insurer directly, servicers like NewRez continue billing the escrow for the old policy, creating double payment. Escrow account reconciliation does not automatically track policy switches. Homeowners must dispute overpayments through a slow servicer process.
