What that says is the banks are charging them double for their escrow account, once as part of their payment and once as a shortgage. Since the escrow account is in all reality the customers own $ how is the bank making out on this? If the home is sold or the loan is paid in full the customer gets their escrow money back. When the taxes are due the bank pays the taxes with the $. Same with the Home owners insurance. If a ch 13 bankrupt customer falls behind on their payments wouldn't their escrow account also fall behind thus creating a shortage in the escrow? What am I missing?
