I feel for these folks. I am so glad that now we get (have) to pay our own tax bill rather than have it escrowed with our mortgage payments. I self-escrow, putting in 1/12 a month so when the bill is due we can pay; same for our homeowner insurance. With our previous mortgages, we had to trust our mortgage holder to pay these bills. So I would always call them when the bills were coming due to "remind" them. I don't know bankruptcy law, but some court official needs to get in there, look at accounts and make these payments. If you're in an area where you could be hit by a hurricane and your insurance lapses, you're screwed! No one will issue a policy with a storm on the horizon. Wow. I feel for these folks.

This is great point as alot of the media was telling people not to worry if their mortgage company went bankrupt... I’ve got visions of The House of Sand and Fog in my head.
