If there is a deficient amount resulting at the year end, then you will have to pay it. It will be better if you could have a word with your lender in this regard and sort out the matter. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

That will raise your monthly payment not only for the shortage amount for 12 months but the lender will also raise your escrow payment higher to be what it is supposed to be. So you do not get stuck with extra high payment increase when the lender finds out months or a year down the road, you may want to bring it to their attention ASAP. They will raise your payment to what it is supposed to be, but, at least you will not be stuck with a really high payment for 12 months after they find their error. They will find their error when they must pay your taxes and there is not enough money in the escrow account, or, they will find out when they do the annually required escrow analysis. _________________ John Veenstra, Sr Mortgage Consultant Approved Funding Corp Licensed NJ NY CT PA 201-833-0123x278
