I need a little help. Origination date of loan is March 15, 2011 and the first payment is April 15, 2011. When do you cut the statement and mail? Can you cut the statement April 15, 2012 and mail April 15, 2012 and be fine?

Thanks for your help.

I'm in the process of reviewing RESPA right now!

Per 1024.17: Annual escrow account statement means a statement containing all of the information set forth in §1024.17(i). As noted in §1024.17(i), a servicer shall submit an annual escrow account statement to the borrower within 30 calendar days of the end of the escrow account computation year, after conducting an escrow account analysis.

or your f/i can send short year statements and then mail all escrow accounts an annual statement at the same time each year. For example, we do ours in December.

Escrow account computation year is a 12-month period that a servicer establishes for the escrow account beginning with the borrower's initial payment date. The term includes each 12-month period thereafter, unless a servicer chooses to issue a short year statement under the conditions stated in §1024.17(i)(4).

When you say borrower's initial payment date. Do you mean the borrowers first acutal payment or the initial deposit the lenders collects at closing of the loan to open the escrow account?



Thanks
