Escrow

So my homeowners went from 1100 to 2900 this year so of course escrow increased. I did shop around and find a policy for 2000 and changed , however mortgage lender ended up paying both escrows. This change was for 3-1, I did not receive refund from the cancelled policy until 4-8 of which immediately went to deposit into escrow and noticed now my not went from 1110 to 1244 after escrow shortage but now the note has gone to 1544. This is a note I would never sign up for. I have deposited back the 2900 refund after they calculated new note. Should I ask for another analysis. This is a 432 increase per month for a home I only owe 130000 before pay off.

Yes, I'd definitely ask them to do another escrow account analysis. Hopefully your payment goes back down when they realize they've been over collecting.

If rates aren't higher now than your current mortgage then refinancing to a mortgage without escrow might be worthy of your consideration. Directly pay the taxes & insurance yourself.
