Well, the new escrow analysis arrived. That is, I received an email notification that I could go to the Wells Fargo web site to check it out. Did I really want to? Oh, I may as well rip the band-aid off and get it over with. It certainly can’t be any worse than the previous … Continue reading Ah- ah- ah- escrow!

Read the fine print
Or in my case, read the actual escrow analysis! The saga that I related a few days ago is actually much more convoluted than I first realized. And my mortgage company, Wells Fargo, is actually both less and more to blame than I had originally thought. And on second thought, perhaps it’s best that I … Continue reading Read the fine print
