On - -, - my wife and I closed on a VA home mortgage. When we closed we were informed by the closing attorney that our property taxes are being establish based on a normal tax year. Our initial escrow payment, paid at closing, was $1000.00 for home owners insurance and $2500.00 for one year of property taxes. Our home was a new construction loan, so at the time the taxes were accessed the lot was vacant. We were informed this was a possibility by our closing attorney. The - property tax bill was $610.00 and is due -/-/-. Our home owners insurance was paid in full for one year on -/-/-, which left the $2500.00 for - property taxes. When I received the property tax bill I called the loan originator and was informed that the loan was sold to Round Point Mortgage Servicing Corporation and would be effective -/-/-. I called to speak with them and was informed that they could not perform any action until after they have officially assumed the loan, however, the -/-/- payment would still be due to them on that date. On -/-/- I made my - mortgage payment which was processed on


received a $610.00 property tax bill for - and they confirmed that they had received the same amount. I was also informed that they planed to pay the tax bill in -, which is 3 months past the due date.

On -/-/- I called RPMS to receive the results of the escrow analysis that was scheduled to run on the -. I was then informed that it was not going to be run until later that day and to check back in later. Later in the day on -/-/- I called to see if the analysis was complete. I was then informed that on -/-/- the escrow department decided that they would not preform an escrow analysis on the account because I owed $2500.00 in property taxes. After informing them that I was told a different story earlier in the day I was transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor then informed my that their records were accurate and dispute them I would have to request a tax audit on the account and then an escrow analysis could be run in - on -. I decided to call the closing attorney and see what I should do. He told me he would write a letter stating why the escrow account was established the way it was and should be enough documentation to push RPMS to run the escrow analysis. On -/-/- I called RPMS back and informed them that I had reported their activity the VA Loan Center in - and the closing attorney, as well as the actions taken by the attorney. I was then placed on hold for roughly 25 minutes and was transferred to a supervisor.

When the supervisor came back on the line I was told the escrow analysis was complete and a refund check would be issued in the amount of $900.00. I asked why the amount was so low I was told it was because my annual taxes are $2500.00. I informed him that that amount was not acceptable and wished to speak with someone in the escrow department and was told I could not. I then informed him that the - taxes are only $610.00 and the insurance premium was already paid in full. I was then told there was nothing more he or RPMS could do. On -/-/- I received a letter in the mail with a refund check in the amount of $900.00.
