Rates

PHH Mortgage does not publish its starting rates online. In order to receive an accurate rate quote, you’ll need to apply for preapproval by contacting the company. Keep in mind the difference between the interest rate and the annual percentage rate (APR) — the APR includes both interest and fees.

In 2021, PHH Mortgage had a slightly higher average rate for home purchase loans than the national average, but rates can vary significantly based on the borrower’s financial status and other factors.

PHH Mortgage does offer adjustable-rate mortgages, which are more popular during times when rates are high due to lower starting interest rates.

Application process

You can start the preapproval process with PHH Mortgage online or over the phone. If you choose to do it online, you’ll need to answer six short questions, including the type of mortgage you’re applying for and the loan amount you’re seeking.

From there, a loan officer will contact you directly to gather more information. Be prepared to answer questions about your income and assets; you will also need to submit documentation to verify this information (like W-2s and bank statements). After you receive preapproval, you can use the online borrower portal to see the up-to-date status of your loan.

Requirements

Each type of loan PHH Mortgage offers has different eligibility requirements for things such as credit score, income, debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and property type. Before you apply for preapproval, a PHH Mortgage loan officer can help you determine which loans you are eligible for and how much you can borrow.

PHH Mortgage doesn’t disclose many of its loan requirements. However, most lenders require a 620 credit score to be eligible for a conventional loan; FHA loans require a credit score of at least 500 to 580.

Jumbo loans typically require higher credit scores  — at least 680. PHH Mortgage does state that most FHA loans and VA loans require a 3.5% down payment. A conventional loan typically requires at least a 3% down payment.

    I have had this mortgage lender for over 5 years. I am not satisfied with their services. I understand that taxes/home insurance go up, but at the same time I wish I could have the opportunity to be able to make up the money difference in my account to keep it the same/or close enough to the original house payment. I am just not satisfied at all.

    Hello, I closed on my house on 11/15. In order to close I paid full FL property tax. I had the property tax money in an escrow account. I never got the refund for the property tax around $10.000. I already had 3 phone calls with support that everyone keeps giving me different information and saying they will call me back and never do it. Also, they have no idea where my money is as they claimed it was sent to payment. I contacted the tax collector that not only said the day they claimed the wire transfer was made was totally incorrect but also that the money never went through.

      This mortgage lender should have been forced to CLOSE DOWN years ago! This company uses predatory behavior, 1. Put your account number and zip code:

      Then it immediately tells me " We are having phone difficulties!" 2. Call back, put info and zip code: " We are CLOSED, call back during business hours!" 130 pm eastern standard time. Then I call back from a different phone number and push zero and it operator answered and said they had no problems with their phone! I'm trying to resolve an issue with my house payment, changing over from Rocket Mortgage.

      I have already submitted to the BBB and CFPB: I have requested a mortgage assistance since August 2025, I have jumped through all hoops they have provided. Which has resulted in me filing three different mortgage assistance applications with them. They always have an excuse of why they haven't processed it. 1. their phones have the message "due to unforeseen technical difficulties we are unable to take your call at this time." 2. I sent the documents they request in full to their email they request them to be sent to- they claim they cannot view them which results in me having to send them in different formats only for them to claim they still cannot view them. 3. I pay to have them faxed and have proof they are legible and sent and delivered to which they claim again- they cannot read them.

      4. I then spend $25.00 to send them through UPS tracked and verified they are delivered for them to them say they need 3-5 days to process and they will let me know if they need anything else, I then call them after not hearing anything to be told that the "FINAL" piece of information they needed was a letter from me address why we defaulted to be printed, signed, and emailed to them. Which was completed and sent in. To which again I was told I would receive a call if they needed anything else. 5. I receive a call from them AFTER the fact that they again denied the mortgage assistance claiming they were missing another letter they were wanting. THE ONLY ISSUE IS THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS ANOTHER LETTER NEEDED. They denied the application the same day the document was due which was 11/04/25 and the SAME day they stated it was needed.

      When I attempted to send it in, they stated I had to REAPPLY for the mortgage assistance again. On the same call I was told this could not be done on the phone but online. 6. I log into the portal today to start this process AGAIN only to not be able to do it online which results in me calling them for 40 minutes again to get the process started to just set up a payment plan with them. To which I am told they can't do it over the phone, and since I can't do it online, a manager will need to call me back.

      Now mind you, they have said a manager will call be back since August and it has never happened. I am stuck because I can't get the application processed, they mess with you, I can't even make a payment unless it's through certified funds and the entire past due amount, and I can't get anyone to help me. My husband is a 100% permanently disabled vet, and he has had health issues the last year which has resulted in loss of income and incurred unforeseen costs and we are fighting to do the right thing and can't get any help whatsoever. I have never experienced anything like this in a mortgage company.

      My mortgage was paid off. PHH Mortgage claims to be taking it over with a balance. I provided documentation from the servicer that had my mortgage to include payoff letter and payoff statement. The person I was speaking with did not even know who the prior servicer was and this was in the escalation department. After several concerning calls, I called the servicer that had my loan. They were shocked the documentation provided was not sufficient (they had also filed the release of deed). They also looked more into my records that they had and said my mortgage had NOT been sold. They asked if I was sure, it was PHH Mortgage and not a scam. I had called numbers on the official PHH Mortgage website to ensure it was not a scam or at least not another party.

      PHH Mortgage is now reporting on my credit reports (all 3) which I filed disputes as they are NOT a valid creditor, and I need to make sure they have not inappropriately filed a lien on our home. They do not even check facts before doing all this. Even some of the information they say they have does not match my records nor that of the prior servicer. Also, they indicated they did not take over servicing until 10/1 yet then they talk about records they have for receiving payments that are not correct from amount and timing (plus they originally said payments prior to 10/1 stay with the old servicer). My prior servicer representative, who also spoke with her manager as she looked into this said to be very careful with regards to calls from them given my mortgage was not sold. Now seeing other things about PHH on the web I am highly concerned I have to deal with something I should not have to spend a moment of my time with.

      Applied for a refi. I have 810 -820 scored, dti 43%, loan to value 50%. No appraisal needed, no Verification of assets needed, on SS and Pension so no VOE. Took 30 fays to close???? Mortgage payment applied 8/25 - processor fully aware and a funding date of 9/3. Mortgage payoff was not updated making the payoff used higher than actual principal balance. Advised Processor - she argued for 2-3 days the payoff was correct, I had to send her screenshots of their system showing the principal payoff was $919 too high, a refund was due. Ended up getting her supervisor who said she had no access to servicing yet would check on it.

      Then told the principal overage was applied to a fully funded new escrow account??

      Finally received agreement a refund check would be sent. The check will be $1,707?? Told PHH supervisor it is too high, it should be $919 and some cents. No, servicing has calculated it and it's correct. Again said it's too high. They sent 1,707. A week later I get an escrow statement and see they dropped my homeowners insurance from escrow. Customer service is terrible. The experience of the processor, supervisor and servicing people are truly questionable. I built and managed 17 residential mortgage wholesale centers - the loan should have closed in 15 days without the numerous errors. Worst experience - wouldn’t recommend them at all, at least not this center. Southern California.

      Wish I would have seen these reviews before getting PHH mortgage. They are AWFUL! Customer service and management is unprofessional, not knowledgeable, giving out wrong info. We had to go through a financial difficult time and asked for financial assistance. Not just did it take them 2 month to make a decision, in that time frame they repeatedly asked for the same docs again, just to make the process take even longer. We have only one income. Had to pay for two mortgages because our tenant stopped paying and we had to evict them, we have kids and yet, they declined giving us mortgage assistance for the home we live in.

      I WILL NOT EVER RECOMMEND THEM! Customer service rep said we are approved. Manager said that it is still pending. We expedited it, which got ignored and it still took 3 weeks to get back to us only to say we are not approved. THEY OFFER NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE if you are in financial crisis! They didn't even provide a reason why they declined us.

      AVOID THIS MORTGAGE COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! I (unfortunately) have two mortgages with this company, both of which were sold to PHH! I'm not considered "late" until after the 16th of each month. My credit score is 838, yet they continually call me incessantly, expecting me to pay both mortgages by the 1st, which won't happen! I just made my second mortgage payment last night (the 12th), and they called me on the 13th, asking where my payment is! And 1) Why doesn't he see that on his end in the system, and 2) It's not the 16th yet! Everyone that works there are foreigners with extremely heavy accents!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

      On September 8, 2025, I received an invoice for renewal of my commercial property insurance, which is to be paid by my mortgage company. Despite repeated reminders, the payment was not made by the due date. Your representatives repeatedly gave me false information, including claims that the payment was “pending” and later “overnighted” on September 25. After several follow-ups, I was finally told the truth: no payment had been made at all.

      This failure has created unnecessary risk of lapse in coverage on my property, and your staff has: Provided fraudulent or misleading information on at least two occasions. Failed to communicate any documentation needs directly to me. Refused to escalate my case to a supervisor or manager despite repeated requests. Created additional barriers with poor service and lack of clear communication.

      My Zillow loan experience has not been as pleasant as it could have been. My loan went through PHH Mortgage. I made my Oct 1 payment early so I could set up Biweekly payments. My loan was sold to Shellpoint mortgage. The payment that was initially applied to my account was reversed. I was notified of the change in Lenders. I was not notified of the reversal. The new lender knew nothing of the early payment. My call today reveled the reversed payment was USPS mailed to the new lender. "Don't Worry" my payment is due in 2 days! Unacceptable. Nothing in writing/email was given only hearsay that the "check is in the mail". A big mistake for me to go with Zillow Loans/PHH Mortgage. I will not again.
