Servicers relent one case at a time: The Great Escrow Balance Game. Getting money just because you asked for it.

Playing with the escrow balance and asking for more money is one of many games the “servicers” play in the Great Securitization game. Relentlessness in challenging (1) the authority of the company pretending to be a servicer and (2) their rendition of the escrow balance and reconciliation of their request for more money is how you eliminate the fake shortgage and get a refund. Don’t assume it is a honest mistake. Assume instead that they are trying to steal from you because in most cases that is what they are doing.

The truth is that without having authority to act they have no right to administer, collect or enforce any payment from homeowners under any circumstances, let alone escrow money. And if there is no creditor that they can identify that maintains on their accounting ledgers, an entry establishing the  existence of a loan account receivable, then there is nobody to authorize them.

This is not some plot by 30 million homeowners. It is a defective scheme in which Wall Street banks made trillions of dollars. Don’t blame or penalize the homeowner. Blame and penalize the banks.

Here is one such example: After a homeowner steadfastly refused to accept the demand for more escrow money, this is what they received:

SLS promptly re-ran its escrow analysis upon receipt of your below email in late December 2020. As a result, an updated escrow analysis is attached to replace the previous one with a new payment beginning February 1, 2021 in the amount of $ 1,502.07. This change reflects a credit that was issued in the amount of $2,773.82. Accordingly, escrow shortage of $2,032.29 from the December 2020 statement has been removed and the remaining $741.53 has been issued to you directly as a refund. You should be receiving those funds by check delivered by UPS in the coming days. This new escrow analysis will be timely filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Sincerely, Melissa Licker
