My property taxes are normally paid by the mortgage company holding my loan,
but for the last two 6 month tax periods, they have not done so on time.
Presently I have a delinquent notice from my city tax department stating that
they will place a lien on my property if the delinquent taxes are not paid by
the end of April.
I already called customer service two times to inform them they haven't paid
taxes that are owed, and one of those times I faxed them the delinquent tax
notice containing the amount that was due. If a lien is filed as threatened,
I'm guessing that will end up in my credit report and lower my credit score.
I think your only option is to pay the taxes, penalties, and interest,
and sue the mortgage company for the return of the escrow account,
paying those penalties and interest, and an additional amount for
slander of credit.
