<prompt> Human: I got notified today from WellsFargo that my Escrow has a shortage of 1700! My monthly payment is only 880 a month. So my options are either pay the 1700, and my payment goes to 960 OR dont pay the shortage and my payment goes to 1100 ... I cant really afford either option! What kind of options do I have?Update:Thanks for the feedback - sounds like its part of the normal procedure for home ownership. I dont like getting a bill for 1700 though! Dont worry well wishers of the reddit world - I have the money and it will get paid, it was earmarked for a different project.  <response>: Its for property taxes andor insurance. Those are costs of owning a home. You really do not have any options.
