Consumer Narrative
Fifth Third failed to escrow our property tax into our mortgage payments as promised. We received a late tax notice with a 21 % penalty. We ALSO lost a 2 % discount for not paying through the bank. We ASLO discovered they were putting our extra payments into a checking account instead of putting it toward our mortgage. This caused us to lose 21 % + 2 % discount + interest that would have been paid with the extra payment money. We contacted Fifth Third who acknowledged something " went wrong '' with our closing. We were contacted back and told the delinquent tax payment was paid and escrowed into our payment. This was done without our permission. We have received a letter stating they have now absorbed the tax penalty. However, we have not received a new escrow analysis heard back from Fifth Third regarding the 2 % discount or the lost interest from our extra payment money. We feel that we deserve the 2 % discount credited to our account AND a resolution to our extra payment money that was not applied to our mortgage.
