My mortgage company, American Home Mortgage, sent a check from my escrow to the county for my property taxes. When I called the county to find out why it never got applied to my tax statement, they told me they got the check but it "wasn't honored" by the bank when the county tried to cash it. The county was graceful enough to waive the $35 bounced check fee, but now I owe $806 in bi-annual taxes. When I called, AHM said they are taking care of it and to call them back in a week.

AHM went into bankruptcy protection at the beginning of this month. What are my options besides just waiting and hoping for the best?
