Mortgage Escrow Projection Errors Cause Sudden Large Payment Increases

Mortgage servicers perform annual escrow analyses using tax projections that can be off by an order of magnitude, generating large shortfalls that translate to immediate and substantial monthly payment increases. Homeowners have no independent way to audit escrow projections against actual tax assessments before the payment shock is applied. The error correction process forces borrowers to absorb the full shortage immediately or spread it at no benefit to them.
