Several weeks ago I posted how US Bank was holding on to way too much of my escrow money. Well, I finally got some of it back. Near the middle of February, I received a check for $250.

While I am happy to see the money, I can’t understand why they still are holding onto $400. I calmly said to the woman from customer service, “You can see that I just paid my taxes for six months and it came to $44. Why would you think that my next payment will be for $500?”

She told me that I would need to call again in April when they would get the official paperwork from my county verifying the taxes for the next six months. In the mean time, my escrow payments have been lowered to $45/month. Obviously this means that I am still putting too much in. Next month this whole thing better be sorted out. When it does, I should have another $500 check coming my way.

• US Bank needs to give me back my escrow money!
• Finding an easy job to slack off
• Time to go to the carnival!
