Do you know who I can contact now to get my money?' TBW paid my property taxes in August 2009 and my MIP insurance. Both bounced. My account was taken over by Bank of America and my bounced payments were never credited back to my escrow account. BOA did not stand behind me and hasseled me all the time. I was required to pay the taxes and insurance again and penalties leaving my escrow account in the negative. To this date (March 29, 2011) I have not seen my $1003.32 tax or my $122.99 MIP insurance money, nor reimbusement for penalties and bounced check fees. Needless to say, I am no longer with BOA. Refied again to get out. I am now with Well's Fargo. Does anyone know if the judge ever ruled in favor so people could receive their refunds from their escrow?

We refinanced right before TBW went under and never got our escrow balance back (not even as a bad check!). I followed up a few different times but decided to be patient because I was not strapped for cash. Now I am and it seems I have missed the boat. Did I need to file a claim in bankruptcy court? I don't even know how to find out who is responsible for my escrow balance. Any advice would be appreciated. I was in a similar situation.

I wired my SEP 09 payment to TB&W on 1 SEP 09 and it was never applied to my Bank Of America SEP 1, 09 payment. Still waiting. How do I get in contact with TB&W? I’m waiting on my refund also.

While all the closing documents were being processed, TBW shut is doors and our mortgage was transferred to B of A. So now, Wells Fargo has our actual loan and B of A thinks that they have our loan. We have sent in all the appropriate paperwork to B of A proving our loan is with Wells Fargo. B of A agrees that it is with Wells Fargo, but they will not close out the loan on their records until they receive the funds from TBW. We will also not get our escrow money until everything is settled with TBW in bankruptcy court. It has been almost one year and no money. We keep calling B of A and even went down to the local B of A to find someone to help us. She is super helpful, but they say that they can not do anything until it is settled in court. We are owed 3,400 in escrow money and $600 in double interest payments for August. Lynnae, how did you get B of A to fork over the escrow money before everything was settled in court?

We unfortunately just found out yesterday that money is missing from our escrow that was transferred from TBW to Cenlar. It was listed as a Tax payment, but no tax payment was due. The payment was made on 8/17/09 right after the Feds stepped in, but TBW was still allowed to process escrow up until the 20th. Cenlar can't help because according to their records the payment was made, but they don't have access to see if it cleared. Would anyone happen to know who I should contact to try and get our money back? Glad to hear there is a good ending to your story.

I am glad that you got the mess straightened out and that you actually had closure to this mess. You are right in the assumption that you might not have ever seen this money again...ugh!

I am so glad I came across your blog at the perfect time! I look forward to reading more! I have been very hesitant to refinance (we have a good, fair rate), after this ordeal you went through, do you feel the refinancing was worth the hassle?

When I read your story I was so upset for you as well as us. We were received our escrow check just before the bankruptcy so we got off before it hit the fan. So glad you got your check.
