I've been paying escrow+mortgage on rentals since 2015 and never had this happen to me.Details:Mortgage company does an escrow analysis and finds the following:2023 Taxes $1648 + Insurance $1634 = Total: $3282New Escrow for 2024Taxes $2331 + Insurance $1918 = NEW TOTAL: $4250- With increased tax and insurance I owe $968 more on escrow.- $968 difference paid out over 12 months would be $80.60 per month MORE.The mortgage company is claiming that I owe $3,000 MORE in escrow and is charging me an additional $250 per month.I checked with them and I've NEVER missed a payment and have been up to date this whole time.They say its not a mistake but couldn't explain why I owed $3000 more instead of $968 more for the year.Am I missing something?
