Mortgage Question: Changing Escrow

I have a question or two for you. I have my house note through ------.

I would like to find out if I can stop paying into my escrow account and
take on the financial responsibilities of paying my insurance, taxes,
etc.

Is this possible and can I do it without having to refinance?

Hi, Betty. This situation is totally up to your servicer (------, I am
assuming still accepts payments?). If taxes, in particular, go unpaid,
the tax lien would be paid prior to the mortgage lien (in the event of
default).

Normally on the secondary market, there is a .25 charge in price to
waive escrow. Your servicer may choose to charge you a fee for allowing
you to pay your own escrow. I would assume much would depend on your
mortgage history and perhaps, credit score.

In the past, I know that servicers have been amenable to dropping escrow
servicing. However, in today's climate, it just depends on the grantor.
So, give them a call!

Good luck!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get several emails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove me
from that service? Cheers!

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where
I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?

Thanks a lot!

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was
wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .

net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous
websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
