May 15, 2015  [redacted] Re:       Mortgage Payoff Request ([redacted])             Case Number:...

[redacted]             Loan Number: [redacted] Dear Mr. [redacted], The Office of the President of PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHHMC”) received your correspondence from the Revdex.com regarding the above-referenced mortgage loan account on May 11, 2015.  I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns. As a preliminary matter, PHHMC strives to provide superior customer service.  Please accept our condolence with the loss of your loved one.  We sincerely apologize for any frustration you may have experienced in connection with the servicing of the loan. On May 11, 2015, servicing records reflect that the authorization documents to release information to you were received.  Please allow 5 to 10 business days in order to update the loan file.  Once the file is updated your request for the payoff statement will be completed.  Sincerely,[redacted]Liaison, Office of the PresidentPHH Mortgage Corporation

Dear Mr. [redacted],
As a preliminary matter, please know that PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHHMC”) strives to provide superior customer service.  We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience you may have experienced during the servicing of your mortgage loan with PHHMC.
Servicing...

records confirm that we received your updated direct debit ACH account information that was processed online on April 13, 2015.  Since the effective date for the change was for the May 1, 2015 payment, the previous account information remained in place for the April 1, 2015 payment draft on April 15, 2015.
Records reflect that our ACH team received a bank notice for insufficient funds (“NSF”) on April 27, 2015; therefore, the April 1, 2015 loan payment was reversed.
On April 28, 2015 you spoke to a Customer Service Supervisor who explained what occurred regarding your account.  You then advised that you would make the April 1, 2015 loan payment online on April 29, 2015.  The Supervisor advised you that the late fee in the amount of $51.75 and NSF fee in the amount of $20.00 would be waived as a courtesy.  Records indicate that your payment was received on April 30, 2015.
Thank you

Your correspondence addressed to the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”), regarding your recent servicing transfer, fluctuation in escrow and payment application, has been received in the Office of the President of PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHHMC”). I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your...

concerns.
First and foremost, please accept my apologies for the frustration you have endured.  Clearly your experience does not reflect PHHMC’s commitment to superior customer service.  We value your feedback as it provides us with an opportunity for assessment and improvement.
PHHMC servicing records reflect that your loan closed on September 12, 2014, and your account was transferred from [redacted] to PHHMC on September 23, 2014 with a payment effective date of November 1, 2014.
On October 8, 2014, PHHMC manually set up the tax buckets because there were no documents available when the loan transferred to us. PHHMC based the annual monthly amount of $298.50 multiplied by 12 for an annual tax amount of $3,582.00. Subsequently, this also occurred with the hazard insurance bucket, $52.55 multiplied by 12 for an annual hazard insurance amount of $630.60.
On October 17, 2014, you contacted PHHMC and spoke to a representative to dispute the payment of $1,444.32 reflected in our system. At that time the representative informed you that we did not have the required documentation available and that you should provide PHHMC with necessary documentation. You were informed once PHHMC receives the documents a work order would be placed to update our system to reflect the correct amounts.
Servicing records reflect that PHHMC received your documentation on October 20, 2014, which verified the previous amount that was billed and paid to your tax office for 2013 calendar year for $3,146.96. During that time PHHMC’s records were not updated due to a processing oversight.
On October 21, 2014, you contacted PHHMC to make your November 2014 payment and you were advised that you can make your payment but your escrow would be shorted while the issue with the taxes was being resolved.
Upon review, PHHMC’s records reflect that your loan was calculated with the following payment for November 2014:
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]

The previous servicer, [redacted], released the loan with the following breakdown:
 
Mortgage Insurance
$ [redacted]

[redacted]        
 
On November 5, 2014 PHHMC received your hazard policy and our system was updated to reflect the correct annual premium of $332.00.
 
PHHMC records reflect that your payment for $1,383.19 was received on November 7, 2014; however, the funds were placed into a suspense account because the amount was less than the system reflected amount due of $1,444.32.
 
On November 14, 2014 PHHMC performed an escrow analysis to make an adjustment to your hazard premium change to reflect $27.67 effective January 2015. PHHMC collects 1/12 of the hazard premium by multiplying $27.67 by 12 to reflect an annual payment of $332.04.
 
Records reflect that you contacted PHHMC again on November 26, 2014 and spoke to the Collections department refusing to make the additional payment difference due to the processing oversight and you were advised that resolution can take at least 60 days.
 
On December 5, 2014, you spoke to a PHHMC representative to advise that your payment was still inaccurate and you were transferred to a supervisor. At that time you wanted to make your December payment but you were advised that a portion would be combined with suspense funds to complete the November’s 2014 payment and the balance would be placed in suspense. Records reflect that you refused to make a payment because you did not agree with PHHMC’s suspense account guidelines.
 
Records reflect that you contacted PHHMC again on December 10, 2014, to request your payment be applied to short escrow. You confirmed that PHHMC updated the hazard premium but the taxes were still incorrect. During that time you were conferenced in with our Tax Department and you were provided verification of the annual tax amounts due for January 31, 2015, which was $2,791.75.  The representative opened a task to update the tax lines and reanalyze the account.
 
Per your request, on December 11, 2014, PHHMC removed the $1,383.19 from suspense and applied it to the November 2014 payment as short escrow yet our system still reflected the higher amount of $1,444.32. Also on December 11, 2014, PHHMC servicing records reflect that the tax amounts were updated to $2,791.75.
 
On December 12, 2014, PHHMC reanalyzed your account effective for December 2014 payment. The analysis reveals an escrow overage of $1,079.34 and the funds were released and sent to your address on file.  Your payment has decreased from $1,383.19 to $1,353.59 effective December 2014.  The decrease in payment is a result of the decrease in annual taxes from $3,146.96 to $2,791.75.
 
PHHMC records reflect that effective December 2014 the new payment breakdown is the following:
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]         
 
Your account is currently due for January 2014 in the amount of $1,353.59.
 
Again, PHHMC regrets any inconvenience or frustration you experienced.  You are a valued customer, and we appreciate the opportunity to review and resolve the matter.
PHHMC received and processed your December 2014 payment and it was applied as short escrow on December 5, 2014. Your loan is currently due for the January 2015 payment.

Dear Mr. and Mrs [redacted]: We have received correspondence addressed to the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) by your granddaughter, [redacted].  Ms. [redacted] has made us aware of the issues you experienced with the refinancing of your mortgage with [redacted].  I appreciate the opportunity...

to respond to your concerns. Our goal is to provide all of our customers with unparalleled service. We sincerely regret that we did not demonstrate this to you and our service fell short of your expectations. Please accept our sincere apology for any frustration you may have experienced during the processing of your mortgage application.  In [redacted] correspondence, she requested a refund of the $500.00 cancellation fee.  The pre-approval document was sent to you on January 24, 2015 and referenced the necessary requirements in order to be considered for the [redacted] (“[redacted]).  This document stated that your residential condo association is required to have sufficient flood insurance.  Unfortunately, the flood insurance submitted by the condo association was insufficient to obtain condo approval to proceed with processing your loan request.  A copy of the pre-approval letter is enclosed for your review. We have enclosed the Agreement Concerning Non-Refundability of Advance Fees (“Agreement”) document which you executed on January 27, 2015.  The Agreement states if the loan is cancelled or declined for any reason, a fee of $500.00 or actual costs incurred, whichever is less, is non-refundable and will be charged to cover the costs associated with processing your loan application.  The actual costs incurred in connection with your loan application included the appraisal fee of $510.00, the credit report fee of $19.83 and the flood certification fee of $19.50.  As a courtesy to demonstrate good faith [redacted] has made a business decision to provide a partial refund in the amount of $250.00 and was refunded back to your credit card on March 30, 2015.  As a part of our fair lending guidelines, we are careful to evaluate all applicants equally.  Our lending policies and procedures do not in any way discriminate against applicants  on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or any other protected basis.  We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We know you have a choice of financial services, and we truly regret that we were not able to provide for your financing needs at this time.   Thank you

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to your complaint. Upon review, the misapplication of your escrow funds has been corrected and the payment of $380.00 was reapplied to your escrow account on January 5, 2015. Additionally, the last two payments referenced in your complaint have...

also been applied as you originally intended.  Thank you again for allowing us to research and address your concerns.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
However, given the [redacted] complaints filed against them in Revdex.com over a few months, my complaint is just a "drop in the bucket" and the process required two more calls/faxes/excuses to get resolution. I would like to clarify their response to say that they were not servicing my loan.  I was simply and repeatedly asking for the mortgage pay off amount.  Just the number -  of my deceased father's mortgage so we could pay it!  The company uses a very nice off-shore customer service center that gave us fax numbers (presumably in New Jersey) without knowing whose office received them so neither they nor we could track the correspondence.  Very frustrating.  This is not the customer service department's fault.  It is the management in New Jersey.  Having bought and sold properties with other mortgage companies more responsive and professional, I cannot recommend this company to others.

[redacted]

Review: [redacted] mortgage modification. At no time whatsoever was I informed that this modification would damage credit. Multiple requests for duplicate paperwork, failure to answer telephone calls or email. failure to provide explanations or answer questeions. Refusal to be transferred to members of management. Failure to return phone calls. After modification was complete, the following four months of mortgage payments were never posted, but put in a holding account. Received letter stating mortgage was in default due to non payment. No one could explain why payments had not been applied. Finally managed to have payments posted and was told to contact credit retractions department to attempt to correct damage caused by failure to post payments. I was told that credit retractions department did not have a telephone number, only a fax, and that I should fax a request to be contacted by phone. Faxed several requests over 3 days with no contact. Sent 8 page complaint to several different company addresses, documenting 9 months of emails and phone conversations with company. Was assigned single point contact manager to address my problems. requested assistance with credit retractions, 11 days no reply. Now have received notice that I owe $991 due to escrow not being figured into payments. Contacted single point contact manager again requesting assistance and was told that they are working on my file and are waiting on information to be available.Desired Settlement: I want this modification to be finalized and all loose ends tied up so I can move on with my life. Before I started this modification process I had an over 820 [redacted] score. Now I am afraid to check what my score is. I want any applicable retractions to be made if possible to lessen the impact on my credit.

Review: I filed Chapter 7 on 8/18/2012. My BK was discharged on 12/4/2012. PHH is the servicer of my loan. They reported to my credit bureaus that I owe them over $5000.00. This is incorrect and repeated attempts to have this correct have failed. I can provide a copy of my discharge showing that I do not owe them anything.Desired Settlement: I would like them to correct my credit reports, particularly Equifax, by reporting that I owe $0.00 and that my debt was discharged through Chapter 7.

Business

Response:

PHH extends an apology for any inconvenience the issue may have caused the borrower. In accordance with PHH records, the borrower, [redacted] did file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy as of August 17, 2012. [redacted] was then discharged from his Chapter 7 Bankruptcy plan on December 4, 2012. Since [redacted] was discharged and did not reaffirm the debt, the outstanding debt [redacted] owes was extinguished; therefore a zero balance should be reported to the credit bureaus. To resolve this matter, the Credit Retractions Department has sent an electronic request to the credit bureaus to have this updated to show Chapter 7 discharged as of December 4, 2012 with a zero balance. This will be the final status and will not report after this date.

Review: In May 2013 I began the process of requesting a deed in lieu for my home located in Baltimore, MD. Long story short, my husband and I divorced in 2009 but maintained joint ownership of the home while it was rented. He failed to pay the mortgage while collecting rent on the home and since I was stationed overseas at this time, by the time the mortgage company contacted me, the home was so underwater, I had no choice but to attempt to either foreclose or apply for a possible Deed in Lieu. Starting in May 2013, I attempted to send in all the required paperwork to start the approval process in order to avoid foreclosure and receive a deed in lieu for the home. This process was extremely broken and every time I would send them all the paperwork they "required" I would not hear back from the company. After I would send multiple inquiries (by phone and email), they would respond back with an additional list of items that I needed to send them that were not on the original list. I have every single email showing my attempts to provide paperwork in a timely manner and the level of inefficiency in which they responded to my inquires and further delayed the beginning stages of the process. Needless to say, the process for collecting all the required paperwork took 4 months because they would not respond to my emails or notify me when paperwork was missing unless I actually called/emailed to ask about the process. In Sept 2013, I finally received notification that all the paperwork was in place and the process was now moving into review. Since Sept 2013, I have not received one piece of information to tell me when the application will be approved, if it will be approved or why the process for simply approving or denying my request is taking so long. I have continued to email the company once a week for the past 6 months. I receive out of office alerts over 50% of the time and then still do not receive a response after the listed return date.Desired Settlement: I feel like there is no movement on my loan because I have a VA loan and the company is aware that any foreclosure on a VA loan will be allowed to sit for a long time and they can just let my case sit as long as they choose. I would like to have this process completed so that if my home is foreclosed, I can at least start the process of trying to repair my credit or if they do accept the Deed in Lieu, it will be completed before another year passes. I am current or paid ahead on every bill that I possess, and this default in the mortgage was not even something that I had control over. I am trying to rectify the mistakes of my ex-husband by working with the bank, but they are not working with me to complete this or at least allow me to foreclose on this home and move on.

Business

Response:

Thank you for allowing PHHMC to respond to your concerns regarding this matter. We understand on March 19, 2014 you spoke to our loss mitigation representative and was advised the reason for delay regarding the Deed in Lieu. The delay was associated with a judgement on the title from the previous owner. This matter has been resolved as you were advised and we thank you again for accepting our apology regarding any frustration you may have experienced. As you were advised soon the Deed in Lieu documents will be delivered to your address via mail.

Review: We started with Chapter 13 Bankruptcy that wasn't approved. Our lawyer suggested it be changed to Chapter 7 that was approved and completed. At the start of the 13 he told us to stop paying PHH. Because they would be wiped out. When were swithed to Chapter 7 he said we shouldn't pay PHH. When that was completed we asked him about paying PHH and he told us not to. That we were underwater with our first mortgage with [redacted], no less the second mortgage with PHH. And that PHH would have no reason to foreclose on us. So then PHH sent us a bill they wanted about $11,000 for back payments. If we could pay that we never wouldv'e neede to file bankruptcy. We have less than $1,000 in the bank. So PHH sent us a "3 month trial payment plan". "To assess whether or not we would be able to keep up with payments before a loan modification is reviewed for possible approval". So we had payments due as follows; $538.50 due 5/15/13, $431.32 due 6/15/13, $431.32 due 7/15/13. "During this period, all payments sent must be made via certified funds in order for the loan modification review. At the end of this trial period, please resend the updated financial statements along with 2 most recent paystubs and bank statements." So we struggled to do this, but we made all payments on time as requested. I sent our info in, and a month or so later we still hadn't heard anything about further. So I called and was transferred to somebody else. I told her about the plan, we made all the payments and everything. She said we would probably now have a monthly payment of about $400. We would receive all the paperwork on that within 7 - 10 days. And she thanked me so much for calling them. So we waited, and we got a Notice of Intent to Foreclose. Before that I had asked if we could get the interest rate lowered because it's 13%. And I was told, no.Desired Settlement: We want to remain in our home and pay all of our bills. We feel like we may have be lead wrong by our attorney. Maybe a another attorney would've given us different advice regarding PHH. But when we got trial payment plan, we felt like they really wanted to work with us. And we wanted to work with them and do what it takes to remain in our home. The outcome we would like is to have a reasonable monthly payment. Something we can afford, coming out of bankruptcy and not having the income we used to. Our full payment was originally was $499. A good payment for us now would probably be $300 or less. And if we could get the interest rate lowered that would help greatly.

Review: I did a loan modification with this company. My principle was increased to cover unpaid property tax, mortgage insurance, and house insurance. When the modification was approved, they informed me my escrow account was -6400 dollars and raised my mortgage by 533 a month to balance this out over the next 12 months. It took numerous calls to show them there was an error, and then instead of balancing out my escrow account, they want me to sign a new loan with -6400 in principle. I am currently working with the legal department, while at the same time getting collection calls to my work, to my home repeatedly threatening foreclosure on my property. I have never missed a payment of the approved amount, and have never paid the increased amount they put onto my payment.Desired Settlement: I would like them to honor the original loan agreement, and to stop all these harassing phone calls.

Response:

PHHMC extends an apology to the borrower for any inconvenience and frustration this issue may have caused.

In June 2013, when the final terms were processed for the borrower’s loan modification there was an operational error that occurred which caused an escrow advance/shortage to the borrower’s account to not be figured into the monthly mortgage payment calculation. The loan was then analyzed on July 22, 2013 and captured the escrow advance/shortage which caused the borrower’s modified monthly payment amount to increase. The escrow advance/shortage of $6,325.43 was spread over 12-months which included an additional $527.12 to the monthly mortgage payment.

This operational error was identified and the escrow account was re-analyzed on October 7, 2013 spreading the advance/shortage over a sixty (60) month period which resulted in the new monthly mortgage payment of $2,273.90. The borrower has received the maximum amount of shortage spread allowed. Enclosed is your July and October 2013 escrow analysis for your reference.

PHH records reflect calls were placed to the telephone numbers on file for this account because a payment in the amount of $2,174.35 was received October 8, 2013. The amount of the current monthly mortgage payment for the October 2013 is $2,273.90. As the amount received was not sufficient to satisfy the contractual payment due, collections called in an attempt to make arrangements for this balance to be paid. The balance necessary has since been received and no further calls will be placed at this time.
