It has been two months of trying to get my home appraised in order to get my PMI removed and I have yet to even have my house scheduled for an appraisal. PHH will cash your $150 check right away for the appraisal but refuse to give you any answers after that. Customer service escalated my case 3 weeks ago and I have yet to even get a phone call from them.

Reading other people's reviews it seems like this is a common issue with them. They will fight you tooth and nails to make sure you continue making PMI payments to them even when your home evaluation has skyrocketed. I found it too good to be true that they are charging $150 for an appraisal in the first place and now I see why. I would be more than happy to spend $600 to get it appraised on my own right away. Avoid this company. They are not professional, I am praying they sell my loan to someone else.

I was recently approved for a loan modification due to the pandemic. PHH extended my loan for 37 more years at $803 monthly. I only owe $87k and also added a balloon payment of $14k at the end. My initial loan was for 30 years and I have 11 years left. I’m not understanding how I will be paying nearly 60 years on a loan. They were supposed to help doing the pandemic but it looks like they were setting me up for failure. Please make this make sense.

PHH Mortgage Co. has mishandled an insurance check we forwarded to them for endorsement so we could proceed with final repairs to our home damaged by the freeze in Tx. occurring in Feb. 2021. The insurance division of the mortgage PHH, to date, has still not returned our Liberty Mutual insurance check in more than 40K to us with their endorsement so we can proceed with repairs to our home. I have never dealt with a mortgage company like this when needed repairs to our home could not be done because they held the insurance check hostage. After numerous calls to in mortgage company, they finally told me they had no idea where the check was and I would have to go to Liberty Mutual and ask them to send another check.

Unfortunately, I would have to go through this process all over again. This mortgage company is incompetent and unethical and may well have stolen the check. Who knows, they finally said they sent the check to us by FedEx, but they don't have a tracking number. The Feds need to investigate this company for fraudulent practices. Plus, you can not talk with anybody in the company that has any authority to do something. Ridiculous, my mortgage was SOLD to this mortgage company, and I did not have a choice. If you have a choice, DO NOT choose PHH Mortgage Company!

I contacted this company on behalf of one of my elderly clients. He has a mortgage with PHH and received an insurance check. The check must be forwarded to the mortgage company for processing and I agreed to do this for him because he is elderly. I spent 15 minutes of my time repeatedly explaining I don’t have specific loan information nor do I want specific loan information regarding My client's account with PHH. I simply need a physical mailing address instead of the PO Box they had previously Provided. I continually explained that each time a person picked up the phone, yet was sent down a rabbit hole repeatedly to end up with the same result on each occasion. The information I requested was basic and not specific to anyone’s account. This was either too tough for the representative to understand, or they simply didn’t care. Based upon this experience, I would never consider working with them!

I was contacted by my county auditor after refinancing my HECM mtge with PHH. The amount on the document was $90,000 more than the Mortgage I took and a 2nd mortgage was placed on the property for $360,000. I do not and NEVER did have a 2nd mortgage on my home. Appraisal and all documents state loan was for $240,000. But auditor states all documents sent to the county say $360,000. Something is really wrong! Tried to contact them via phone and email 4 or 5 times with no responses. I believe this company is fraudulent and scamming people.

I am the trustee of my grandfather's estate, and as of March 1st for the last 3.5 months I have sent the trust, the amendment, death certificates, etc over 20 times! Daily calls with the SPOC department, no updates ever, no one can answer my questions, they send over the packet at least every week as an "urgent" request and we still have no answers. The legal department they claim they send it to, no one can ever actually get them to respond. There is never a supervisor or above to speak to. Every time I call for OVER 3 MONTHS, no one has an answer or any updates on the trust! My grandparents passed, my mom, etc and I have to go over this every single time that I call. They have no process in place, they are disorganized, incompetent, and take no responsibility for their company.

We are hiring a lawyer now because they can't get their act together to review a trust document! All I need is to be on the account and get the pay off. Oh, and they told the escrow company they need the request in writing, with the paperwork I have sent in over 20 times, AND it will TAKE 21+ days to review! What is this madness! I have tried to be nice, patient, but this house is going to fall out of escrow because PHH cannot get a process down to better help their customers. There is NO EXCUSE why I have had to send in the SAME PAPERWORK over 20 times with NO RESOLUTION!!!

PHH did not pay may taxes out of escrow for almost a year, resulting in my home being placed on a tax lien auction. Despite more than 15 phone conversations with the PHH Escalation Department and a formal complaint being filed with the New York State Department of Financial Services, taxes remained unpaid, penalties accrued, and ultimately my home was listed on auction for unpaid taxes. PHH is an incompetent, corrupt organization and home owners would do well to avoid them at all costs.

I have recently had an incident where this mortgage company failed to pay my annual property taxes. I opened up an incident and it got raised to the escalation team. It's not been about 3+ weeks since opening the incident and despite multiple attempts at email + phone call to the direct escalation manager I cannot get a response on the status. The timeline for the taxes has come and gone and they still aren't paid, which is going to cost me even more money. Do I rate an update from this mortgage provider team? Apparently not!

Only update I have ever received was a canned email stating that they were waiting on the county trustee to respond and validate the bill. Well, I called the trustee and they never have heard of this company or even received contact from them. This prompts me to reach out daily to the mortgage company but zero responses come back. Long story short - buyer beware. If you expect a mortgage company that has your back and will work with you via exemplary customer service, look elsewhere.

Updated on 06/21/2022: So got PHH attention with last review and got them to do the appraisal. Now I can not get them to give me a copy of the report 2 months later and can not get them to give me a phone call. WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY. I have left voice mails every week to 10 days, send emails and NOTHING! Run away from this COMPANY. Run as fast as you can. I have called the Federal Housing Finance Agency AG on their unfair, unethical, and unlawful business practices.

Original Review: DO NOT USE THEM AT ANY COST!!! Well I am going with the pack on this. PMI is suppose to be removed when hit 80/20 loan to value is reached. Now with house market going through roof, I am well above that. Requested they reappraise the property and pay the $150 fee for that. They cashed my check but won't do the Appraisal. Claiming have not documented enough improvements to home to justify it. Even at Zillow's low range number I at 26% equity. I would refinance but interest rates have gone up so much that would be paying more monthly if I did. :(

Mel on my loan processor got transferred to PHH without my knowledge but I guess they were shot selling some mortgages to PHH and mine was one of them. Ever since then I've had so much difficulty with their customer service. You never get anybody you could understand on the phone and they can be rude as hell. Now they're telling me I'm in default and I'm not. They sent me four left contradictory letters regarding my account and I've had to spend hours on end trying to get my situation resolved. This is not a company you wanna deal with and how I have a feeling they're doing fraudulent things or they're doing things that seem to be fraudulent because they're so stupid.

Do not use this company. I would not recommend it. You would be disappointed. My physical address will which PHH has the mortgage with is ** and this is a real review. If you have any more questions you're welcome to call me at ** and I'll be happy to further discuss this review with you. It's just too long to be discussing here but the overall summation is bad., my name is Sam **.

I am happy that PHH initially approved my mortgage/Loan for modification due to financial hardship because of COVID-19. My acct/payments has never been late with them. They send back docs to be re-signed and notarized, but they came really late. (Mail delivery is really really slow since COVID-19.) They got the docs on the deadline date but now they rejected my modification. I really thought they are there to help us during this difficult time.

Our mortgage was transferred from another bank. PHH is the worse bank we have ever experienced. We called 10 times, 4 times out of those 10 times we got disconnected after being on hold for 20-30 minutes. One time an associate said she doesn't know how to calculate, so we have to wait for someone else, another time an associate told us to call our previous bank because they don't have records of the past payments. We will never recommend this bank or ever do any banking with them again. Also, we would have given them zero stars if that was an option.

We have requested a payoff quote from this organization since March 16th. The organization has on multiple occasion delayed the processing of the payoff request. Each department is unaware of what the other is doing. We have called on multiple occasion and email and the problem has yet to be resolved. We

are in the middle of a refinance and PHH mortgage refuses to provide the required payoff to transfer the loan from their company. They also didn't paid the insurance for the property which was escrowed. The actions so far of this company has been retaliative and very unprofessional and has caused duress. We cannot proceed because PHH mortgage is intentionally withholding our legal payoff documentation.

Original review: March 28, 2022

I recently requested for PMI to be removed from my mortgage. I sent in numerous data to show the value of my home had significantly increased since purchase. In addition, PHH sends me one-two times a month a letter offering for me to refinance and THEY give me an estimated value of which clearly shows that I have at least 33% equity. However, they will not remove my PMI until I pay them for a Brokers Price Opinion (BPO). This seems highly unethical. My dashboard (mortgage website) indicates the estimated value quite substantial. Yet, they want to tell me in the letter that my home is worth the lesser of the amount of my sales contract or the original appraisal, penalizing me for getting a good deal. If I refinance with them, my house is worth a lot more, if I don't, well it's worth the sales value. Not to mention over $25k in a master bath remodel since purchasing the property.

Bi-weekly payments - PHH's website FAQs clearly states they offer bi-weekly payment plans. A representative from PHH answered a complaint on this website indicating they do not offer bi-weekly payment plans. PHH's website directs you to a FlexPay form which is a bi-monthly payment option. In speaking with a PHH representative, she indicated they do offer a bi-weekly form and she would have to mail it to me. She stated that the form is not archived yet. This makes no sense. She then proceeds to tell me to call back in two days and they would email me the form. Why would they have a Flex Pay form and not a Bi-Weekly form on their website if they in fact do offer both plans. Which is it? A customer should not have to go through this. I had no choice in the matter of my mortgage company. PHH assumed my previous mortgage companies business. I'm very disappointed.
