Taylor Bean And Whitaker: Continuing Mortgage Lender Problems And Escrows
When a loan servicing company goes out of business, you would think that the troubles would be over for those borrowers that had been dealing with that lender. Think again. Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company went out of business last summer. Their customers are still feeling the pain.

But those accounts are frozen. You'd think that the federal government would have a law on the books that forces lenders to keep those accounts safe and segregated and readily available to transfer from one lender to another. And yet, months after TBW's bankruptcy, customers are still waiting for money, answers and are suffering with increased payments to their new loan servicers.
