Federal baseline to check
Use the form with the rule, not instead of the rule.
These templates organize facts and records. They do not create a borrower right that the underlying regulation, loan terms, investor rules, or state law does not provide.
- Failure to pay escrowed taxes or other property charges on time can be a covered servicing error under Regulation X.
- For an escrowed federally related mortgage, timely generally means on or before the deadline to avoid a penalty while the mortgage payment is not more than 30 days overdue.
- An NOE should identify the due date, payment date, amount, and resulting penalty or consequence rather than relying on a general complaint.
Use this resource carefully
- Confirm the taxing authority's no-penalty deadline and actual posting date. A bill date is not always the same as the penalty deadline.
- Separate the underlying tax amount from late fees, interest, or other consequences so the requested correction can be measured.
- If the servicer says it paid on time, request the payment confirmation or disbursement record it relied on and compare it with the authority's ledger.
