Escrow Account Computation Year - 02/24/14 09:07 PM
Our bank has been required to "retro" escrow certain mmortgages that have already been opened. This is because we are high-priced.
For loans that we have gone back to and started escrows, when does the account computation period begin?
3500.17 States:
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 ยง 3500.17(i)(4).
So, is the "initial payment date" referring to the initial payment into the escrow account or the initial payment of the mortgage? For instance, it is possible in our case that the initial payment on the mortgage be 1/1/10 but the initial payment that was made to the escrow is 7/1/13.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
