Anyone work in the mortgage industry?
I have an odd situation. A mortgage company called Cenlar FSB paid my real estate property tax for 2016 (about $2,500USD).
The thing is, I don't have a mortgage. I bought my house cash. I've never had a loan, the title is clear, no lien, no second mortgage (unless somehow someone took one out without me ever knowing, which I don't know if thats possible).
So yeah, my home is 100% clear, and I own the title, yet out of no where, some mortgage company pays my 2016 taxes. I wasn't late or delinquent on my taxes either.
Any ideas why the company would do this? I kind of want to ignore it and not have to pay the $2,500.00, but if it turns out they have set up some account and sharked my taxes, then plan to bill me with late fees or something later...but I can't imagine that is legal or possible as I don't have a lender.
This company has a mountain of lawsuits against it for force-placed insurance and dual tracking.
Any insight would be helpful.
Yeah, I would check into it anon. People can file to put liens against your house without your knowledge.

Why don't you just call them instead of asking a taiwanese body painting appreciation bloackboard on the internet?

Well because if one of their third party tax service subsidiaries fucked up and paid my shit by accident, I don't want to tip them off. This might end up in the write-off bin.

It's 2017.
