That was one surprise that no one warned me about when I bought my house. The check today was a very nice surprise. So many things to spend it on, I can't decide.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-4357118409544390452009-07-21T20:52:32.638-07:002009-07-21T20:52:32.638-07:00Hi Petunia, I sure hope they give you that full am...Hi Petunia, I sure hope they give you that full amount. That would be a great addition to your mortgage. I added you to my blog roll. Sorry it took so long. I don't update it often because my computer seems to freeze up when I do stuff like that. Of course, it froze up again. Maybe I should use the $240 to buy myself a new netbook. Now there's an idea. :)Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-49352889785015144232009-07-21T20:41:59.704-07:002009-07-21T20:41:59.704-07:00That is nice to recieve.

I wouldn't mind a check with no reason to show up in my mailbox to spend as I please. ;)Money Funkhttp://www.moneyfunk.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-82893419364891304862009-07-21T20:34:20.982-07:002009-07-21T20:34:20.982-07:00Yes, your escrow disbursement is due to having mor...Yes, your escrow disbursement is due to having more money in there than needed. My property tax assessment is $420 less this year. I am looking forward to my escrow refund, which I will use to make a little chip in my mortgage.Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-56007564896487299502009-07-21T19:42:25.578-07:002009-07-21T19:42:25.578-07:00I have liked Grange other than that which really w...I have liked Grange other than that which really wasn't their fault but more of the mortgage company's.<br /><br />I don't think they are the cheapest, but the local agents are really responsive and they seem like a good company that does a lot of community service work. Farm Bureau is the cheapest around here for insurance, but they tend to low ball claims from what I have heard.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-29796931142797726852009-07-21T19:30:22.643-07:002009-07-21T19:30:22.643-07:00That's good to know.

I don't get any benefit from having home and car with the same one since it's a rental home. State Farm is not very good at communication and I haven't received any new address labels in like forever. :PDaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-11462860798041150652009-07-21T19:25:51.770-07:002009-07-21T19:25:51.770-07:00Pleasant surprise.

I also used to get one of those escrow adjustments/raise your monthly payments every year.<br /><br />Also, the first year after I paid off the mortgage, my insurance company still sent the bill to the bank. They no longer had a mortgage or escrow account with me, so I guess they just threw it away or something with no contact to me about it.<br /><br />Luckily I remembered in time because my car insurance is with the same company and I did get that bill. Since then they have sent me the bills directly, but it wasn't as clean a process as I thought it would have been.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.com
