I purchased my home in XXXX XXXX and XXXX went into my escrow to pay property taxes for XXXX. {$3100.00} was paid out which threw my escrow into a negative of XXXX which I am being held accountable for. The correct amount of property taxes was not factored into my loan accordingly. The house was vacant for several years upon my purchase in XXXX. There was also a late fee charge accessed since taxes were not paid on time from XXXX. Exemptions were not filed for XXXX by previous owner. This raised my mortgage from {$690.00} month to {$1100.00} month. I am being held accountable for taxes from 2 years prior to me purchasing the home. I relied on and paid Hallmark Home Mortgage to correctly figure the right amount of property taxes into my loan. They do specialize in HUD homes and should have known to look and see if exemptions had been filed considering this had been a vacant home for quite some time. The error was on Hallmark Home Mortgage and feel they should be held accountable for the refund back into my escrow account. It was negligence on their part to not factor in property taxes as they should have. According to the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Hallmark Home Mortgage, there definitely was an error made, but Hallmark Home Mortgage was not willing to correct their error when I went to personally speak to them in XXXX XXXX.
