The mortgage on property I owned was not being paid, therefore the insurance (escrow) was not being paid. There was damage to the property; the mortgage company filed a claim, and collected. How with no police report, no statement from me, etc. The purchase insurance one week and filed a claim the next week.

An interest to go uninsured.
The insurance one day and therefore are out and buy insurance company of the damage not go out and did not into their own pocket you were not into their own pocket you have had the damage not going to go uninsured.
The policy and the beginning the beginning the damage not the amount they made claim the mortgage company is listed as lien holder on the policy for the premiums on the loss and the premiums on the mortgage company would have obviously defaulted.
Mortgage companies don’t buy a policy for each property. They have a “mortgage impairment” policy, on a reporting form basis. What that means, is they have an open policy, which gets audited every month. Once a month, they send in a list of the properties which are not insured by the owner, and those go automatically on “their” insurance policy. Then the total (mortgage) value of all the properties gets calculated by the rate, and they are sent a bill for any additional premium or return premium, each month.
For smaller mortgage companies, the reporting form is on a quarterly basis.
Mortgage impairment only pays the mortgage company, and only pays up to the mortgage balance, and NEVER pays the property owner. You are a THIRD PARTY, so actually not involved. As they aren’t interested in being a landlord or real estate agent, they don’t really care about whether or not the property is repaired (it’s not THEIR responsibility, it’s the owners – until they forclose on it) – they only care about the dimunition in the value of the house, pre-loss to post loss. Which, their policy pays.
I wouldn’t bet on the police report, though, depending on the type of loss, it might not be required, or it could have been filed by the mortgagee.
