Mortgage servicer changes monthly payment after escrow shortage paid without prior disclosure
Homeowners who pay escrow shortages in full are still hit with higher monthly mortgage payments without being told this would happen in the shortage notice. Servicer representatives acknowledge there is nothing in the letter disclosing the payment change, yet refuse to reverse the adjustment. The lack of clear disclosure at the point of the shortage payment decision leaves borrowers unable to make informed choices.
