Mortgage servicers miss escrow tax payments and bill consumers for the penalties
Mortgage servicers fail to disburse collected escrow funds to municipalities on time, generating late fees and accruing interest penalties that are then charged back to the borrower. Consumers who have no control over when escrow disbursements are made bear the financial cost of the servicer's internal scheduling failure. This is a recurring operational failure with no servicer accountability mechanism.
