Can Borrower Revoke Bank's Obligation?

Answered by: 

Question: 
Can a borrower revoke our obligation to escrow for taxes and insurance on an HPML before the initial twelve month requirement is over?
Answer: 

No, and borrowers cannot revoke the authorization after the twelve month period without the full agreement of the bank. It is an option that the bank can use, it is not a right granted to the borrower.

Cancellation. A creditor or servicer may permit a consumer to cancel the escrow account required in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section only in response to a consumer's dated written request to cancel the escrow account that is received no earlier than 365 days after consummation.
