Can a lender bill you through your escrow for your annual tax amount if they did not paid the taxes?

When that would happen you probably did not have enough in the escrow account to the taxes when the taxes were due.
Usually an amount is taken from each monthly payment and added to the estimated tax amount that will be needed when they receive the tax bill and then they pay the tax amount out the amount that is supposed in the escrow account when the tax is due.

How do you pay a settled and paid charge off?
Once a chargeoff has been marked "paid charge off," the borrower still owes the debt, but from an accounting standpoint, the lender has decided that they will not be able to collect that debt. Also, the charged off amount will stay on your credit record regardless of the next steps that you take. If you pay off that chargeoff, the lender will not adjust the trans line in the credit report. However, if you are trying to "make it right," you may send a payment to the lender at the same address that you sent payments prior to when collections started (be sure to mark the check/EFT with your account number and name).

Who is responsible for a property tax lien that the title company didn't find until after escrow closed?
The Title Co should have found that lien, which mean that the Lenders is not in 1st Lien position,, Title Co's issue a CPL which is a closing protection Letter or E&O. Which protects the lender. The Title Co can request that you settle out the Lien and provide proof. Either way someone has to pay it. I would contact your loan servicer and have them advise you on what to do since they now have an interest. Good Luck
What does it mean when they ask you if you want to hold your escrow or roll it over?
This may apply to escrow accounts for taxes. When a new home owner initially purchases a house the lender may require that an escrow or impound account be set up for taxes and insurance. The borrower pays monthly into the account. When the loan is refinanced, the home owner may have the option of rolling the existing escrow balance over into a new escrow account held by the new lender, or managing the money directly. If there is an escrow account then the monthly amount is included as part of the total monthly mortgage payment, and the lender pays property taxes and hazard insurance out of the account. If the borrower chooses not to have an escrow account, then the borrower is responsible for paying property taxes and insurance.

Which of these provides the funds needed for expenses such as property taxes homeowners insurance mortgage insurance etc.?
The escrow account that is established by the mortgage holder pays most of these expenses. From each mortgage payment made by the borrower, a certain portion goes into the escrow account. Then, when these expenses become due, the lender pays them from the escrow account. If there is an insufficient amount in the excrow account, the borrower is required to pay the balance. The main exception to this is homeowners insurance, which the borrower may get him/herself. The lender will require that it be named as an "additional insured" on the policy. This serves to secure the lender's financial interest in the property to the extent of the amount still owing. That is, the insurer will name the lender on the settlement check along with the insured's name. In that way, the lender can ensure that repairs are made and the value of the property is preserved. If the borrower does not get homeowners insurance, the lender can get it to secure its financial interest alone. This is often referred to as a "single interest" policy.
Can a judgment lien be placed against property that is in escrow?

I cancelled my home insurance with one company and opened a new policy with a different company but had overlapping coverage for a short time am I entitled to a refund.?
It depends on whether you have a mortgage loan or not. The previous insurance company will send you a check for the excess amount paid to them, but if there is a lien on your property and your insurance check is set up in an escrow account, then you will have to sign and forward that check to your lender. That money will then go into the escrow account and sit there until the lender does a yearly evaluation and sees that your escrow account has an excess amount of money in it. Then you will get a refund on your overpaid insurance premiums. I am going through the exact same thing right now as I have just recently switched companies myself.

Why would a lender pay the homeowner insurance?
Actually, the home owner pays the home owner's insurance. The lender has an escrow account. This is in additional to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. The escrow account pays the taxes and insurance. The escrow account pays the taxes so the government does not seize the property. The homeowners insurance pays in case the house burns down. So, you pay into the escrow account, and if your house burns down, the lender gets the insurance money. You would not pay a mortgage on a burned down house and the bank knows that, so they have you pay into the escrow account and they pay for the insurance.
