Mortgage payment rules

Posted on: 21st May, 2009 06:50 am
My mortgage company raised my monthly payment because they based my payment on last years tax figures, however I have since applied for the homestead exemption which will significantly reduce my tax figure. I mailed my regular mortgage payment (the figure without the estimated escrow shortage) and they have not applied the amount because they say that it is short $26.00. Why do they not apply my payment to principal and interest and leave the shortage in escrow instead of not applying any payment? Is this legal?
A lot of lenders will not accept a payment even a couple of dollars short. Your best bet would be to send the full payment until you can come to an agreement with your lender and have that in writing. I hope this helps...

yes...pay what they ask for, because you risk being in default if you neglect to do so. you can always argue with them later.
