CitiMortgage recently sent me a document advising of my escrow shortage for the 2015 year. They advised me that if I do not pay the escrow shortage, that my monthly payment would increase from {$1100.00} to {$1200.00}. They advised that I could pay the escrow shortage, and that if I did, my monthly payment would be adjusted from {$1200.00} to {$1200.00}. 

I do not want my payment increasing above {$1100.00}. So I sent a payment of {$600.00} ( escrow shortage of {$330.00} + {$270.00} to cover the increase in my escrow payment ). However, when I called in, Citi refuses to adjust my payment back to {$1100.00}, stating that they can no longer advance the escrow EVEN IF IT IS AT THE BORROWER 'S REQUEST. That is ridiculous. If I cut a check for {$5000.00} to cover my entire upcoming year 's worth of taxes, Citi should n't be charging me ANYTHING for escrow. The purpose of escrow is to ensure that irresponsible borrower 's pay their taxes. I PAY MY TAXES!!! If I choose to put money into an account IN ADVANCE to pay my taxes, my monthly escrow payment should be adjusted accordingly to reflect the advance. AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT " CFPB GUIDELINES '' ARE IN PLACE FOR THE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY 'S ESCROW POLICIES ; I HAVE THE RIGHT AS THE CUSTOMER TO ADVANCE MY ESCROW SO THAT MY MPA FOR MY MORTGAGE DOES NOT INCREASE!
