I also was sold by Freemont Funding to ASC. My payment also went up from 847.00 to over 1400.oo per month. This was a combination of tax increase(bad), homeowners insurance(really bad) and the adjustable rate reset. As much as this all stinks, none of it has anything to do with ASC. I recently refinanced into a 30 year fixed rate. ASC was no problem in over 2 1/2 years I had them. In fact I just recieved a check from them for the money that had been in my escrow account. Of course, I was always 2 weeks early with my payment and bought a house I could afford, therefore I actually had enough equity to weather the downturn in prices we are seeing in FL. It is a bad situation to be in, but I don't understand how it is your mortgage company's fault for escrowing enough to pay insurance and taxes. Also if your mortgage rate reset, they are only doing what you agreed to when you bought your home.

I see this term thrown around a lot on this website and maybe twice I've seen a case worthy of even mentioning a lawsuit. Could you please elaborate on what exactly it is that you should be suing for? You stated they raised your payments because your taxes went up, but wouldn't that simply be common practice. Tax increases are issues to be taken up with your particular city/county, the mortgage companies don't make these decisions.
