PHH Mortgage Corporation Reviews (164)

Review: I lost my job. We have both been calling PHH and emailing employees and supervisors there since September, 2012 asking for help. Our interest rate is over 6% which is very high. We asked tried to get that lowered so our monthly payment would be more affordable. I have had this mortgage since 2006. I NEVER had a late payment at the time I first began to call for help. The representative told me there was no help she could offer because my credit score was too low to do a loan modification for a lower rate. She told me that there was no other help offered because I had to be late on my mortgage in order to receive any assistance. This was the end of the month and she said to not pay the payment on the first and then call for help. I felt this was ridiculous but the only way to receive any assistance since we were struggling. I called on 10/1/2013. This was the day my payment was due but not paid as encouraged by the representative. The person I talked to this time told me to call back in a couple weeks because the payment would not show as late until the system had time to process. During this time, my we saw an article in the newspaper regarding the [redacted] program the [redacted] was encouraging if you needed mortgage assistance. We called back inquiring about this program. We got another representative because it is nearly impossible to ever talk to the same person. They don't have direct lines and can never find one another if you ask for a specific person. This person told us we were not eligible for the [redacted] because we were recently late on our mortgage payment. We were enraged because we had never been late and that is what 2 representatives advised us to do. No one ever even mentioned the [redacted] program to us before this. We have emailed the requested information requested from PHH for assistance on 2 separate occasions and mailed large packets called the Uniform borrower assistance forms 3 times. No one ever receives them! No help given yet!Desired Settlement: We would like our interest rate lowered, so that our payment will be more affordable or we would like to utilize the [redacted] program as the [redacted] is urging. We would like to speak to Mr. [redacted], [redacted] of Lender Division or [redacted], [redacted] We have had many more problems than I even have room to write here. We have talked to so many representatives and supervisors over the year and received no help. They just keep making us fill out the same paperwork we have been sending in. They always have an excuse, such as they never received it or they didn't receive everything or it's been over 30 days, etc...... This seems to be a very shady corproation. Thank you for your time!

PHHMC extends sincere apologies for any inconvenience this issue has caused [redacted]

Our records indicate that documents were received from Mr. [redacted] in July 2013, for loss mitigation assistance; however, the package was incomplete. On July 17, 2013, [redacted] was informed that a complete package was needed, in order to review the loan for loss mitigation retention options. On August 8, 2013, [redacted] was informed of the same.

A review of the loan history reflects that on September 20, 2013, a Notice of Default and Intent to Accelerate was sent to [redacted] stating the loan was due for the August 2013 payment. A payment was received on September 23, 2013 and applied to the outstanding August 2013 payment. On September 27, 2013, a second notification was issued, advising that the loan was due for the September payment. This notice contained an offer of assistance. Copies of both notices are attached.

PHHMC records evidence that on October 2, 2013, [redacted] advised that he was unable to make any payments due to unemployment. At that time, PHHMC, again, informed [redacted] that a partial Loss Mitigation Package was received in July 2013 and advised that a complete package was required to be reviewed for assistance. To date PHHMC has not received a complete Loss Mitigation package for review.

Review: I was behind on my mortgage so I called and was placed on a payment plan. I paid Feb. 1087.00, March 1087.00. I called into their customer service department to make my April payment like I had done for Feb and March and I was told that I didn’t have a balance. I called back two days later and Spoke with [redacted] and several other reps and was told my account was in research and I would receive a call from a supervisor. I never received a call back. Each time that I would call in I would get the same story that it was in research. In June I spoke with [redacted] he explain that my account was placed in foreclosure by mistake and that’s why each time I called they would state that I had a zero balance. I guess final my account was pulled out of foreclosure and I received a letter stating that I would need to make a payment for 516.00 by 05-17-13, I made the payment and the payment was return. No explanation of why the payment was returned or anything. I never received anything for the company letting me know they made a mistake on my account. I called again and spoke with name [redacted] and she TRIED to explain what was going on with my account but keep placing blame on me, not once did she say anything about the mistake that was made. She stated that my house was being place back in foreclosure again due to non –payments I explain to her everything that happen with my account. She finally mailed a letter letting me know that I would need to pay 2400.00 to bring my account current. The letter states that my account is 4 payments pass due of 672.00 when my payments are only 590.00 a months. I have spent hours on the phone with this company and still haven’t got anything resolve. I know I owe payments for April, May, June, and July. please help.Desired Settlement: For my acocunt be restore so I can just pay my mortgage. I not asking or looking for anything free, just please fix my account.

PHH extends an apology for any inconvenience the issue may have caused the borrower. The borrower was on a repayment plan. The borrower called and made payments for $1,087.06 on February 15, 2013 and March 18, 2013. However, when the borrower called on April 16, 2013 to make the scheduled repayment plan payment, she was informed that the loan was paid in full. This was an error in the system and was corrected. On June 5, 2013 the borrower was informed of the balance. A request was placed to reverse the $402.92 misapplied to the escrow account. The Intent to Foreclose was placed on hold due to the error until June 14, 2013. The borrower was informed to make at least two payments in addition to the $402.92. The borrower agreed to the terms and was informed once the payments were made we would set up new repayment plan.

There have not been any payments received on the loan and on June 14, 2013 the $402.92 was returned to the borrower and a new Intent to Foreclose Letter was mailed. The Intent to Foreclosure advises the loan is due for March 1, 2013 payment, totaling $2,481.01. This total is based on four monthly mortgage payments at $676.83.

An Escrow Analysis was completed on the loan on January 22, 2013. At the time of the January 22, 2013 analysis the escrow balance was $414.39 and the required escrow amount was $496.12, leaving the escrow balance with a shortage of $81.73 which was applied to the monthly mortgage payment effective the March 2013 payment.

Due to the inconvenience and frustration the borrower has experienced, she can contact our Collection Department at [redacted] by July 14, 2013 to set-up a new Repayment plan.

Review: I am in the process of waiting for this mortgage company to finish my [redacted] mortgage modification which I signed off on November 29, 2013, they received them back on December 2, 2013 unless I counted wrong January 21,2014 is the 45 day, they are no where's done on my modification either!! Just all kind of stories and excuses!!!!! I cannot get any straight answers out of this company they keep giving me the run around they won't even tell me if they signed off on the contracts or not? I am working on my 2nd case manager as the 1st one was useless! My contract clearly states that the modification will be complete within 45 days! This company has done nothing but use abusive stalling tactics on me since March 2013 when I 1st applied for this modification with them through making home affordable it is on record with making home affordable it is easily verified! It is outrageous the abuse and stalling tactics I have been enduring with this company since last springtime, again they refuse to tell me anything they won't tell me when it will be done! My escrow is short because all the payments they have collected they did not apply the escrow portion of my payments to the escrow account now if this modification is not done by 02/20/14 there will be a large shortage which they will gladly advance me the money but I will have to pay interest on it and it will raise my mortgage payments for a additional 12 months also! it is outrageous I know there are laws that mortgage co collecting escrow monies have to put them in a escrow account for holding and have to disburse them correctly also! I also have escrow monies missing from all the payments prior to this modification issue as I was sending in extra monies for the escrow account as this mortgage co has a habit of not collecting enough of money intentionally forcing it's customers to borrow funds from them with interest to make up the escrow shortfall as well! it's a nasty common practice this mortgage company engages in also!Desired Settlement: I want the contract finish as it is stated in the contract again it clearly states the modification will be completed within 45 days! According to my counting that is on January 21, 2014 as my contract says nothing about excluding weekend holidays so on! now that is only a few days away and this company is not even close to finishing my modification already they have broken the terms & conditions on this fact alone! Don't believe me count the days, go ahead!!!!!!!! I am not going to be abused again by this company by being forced to take a loan from them to cover escrow monies just because they did who knows what with the escrow portion of all my payments! I am not going to have my mortgage go up for 12 months nor am I going to be forced to pay them interest for the luxury of them giving me the money for the escrow shortage which is their fault by doing who knows what with my escrow monies they have been collecting!

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Regards,

Review: PHH is the mortgage company for my current mortgage. We have had an issue with the taxes on our property. This has caused a discrepancy in the amount of our monthly mortage payment. While the matter is being resolved, we were told (numerous times) by PHH that we could continue to pay the existing amount each month. This has taken much longer than anticipated due to a lack of response with our town providing the necessary documentation. Each month we did receive a letter from PHH stating that we owed money, however each time I called PHH, I was told that it was an computer generated letter and to disregard the letters. We were obviously provided inaccurate information, since PHH has now begun to return our checks. More importantly, they have now reported this matter to the credit authorities and sent us a letter stating that they are ready to proceed with foreclosure. I have contacted PHH numerous times in order to resolve the matter, however have been unable to obtain assistance. I have sent two emails through the website to which I have not received a response. When calling PHH, I have either received messages that they are closed, or I have been on hold for periods in excess of 45 minutes and had to hang up, or spoke to someone that provided me with inaccurate information or was not able to resolve the issue. Following each call, PHH send a letter stating that I have contacted its customer service number and they hope that they have addressed my issue. I am currently on hold with PHH and have been on hold for this particular call in excess of 15 minutes and have yet to be put in contact with a representative. Any assistance you can provide with this matter would be greatly appreciated.Desired Settlement: I would like to have PHH resolve the matter including fixing our credit. I am happy to make the payment in order to resolve the matter, however I do not want my credit affected, and I have not been able to get through to PHH in order to determine what payment is required in order to resolve this issue and restore my good credit.

Response:

PHHMC records show that the mortgage loan was referred to the law offices of [redacted] on December 19, 2013. At the time of referral the mortgage loan was in default and due for (5) months of payments; August 2013 up to and including December 2013. No foreclosure sale is scheduled at this time In regards to the tax issues on the property, there was an added assessment bill that was due in 2012 and paid on December 24, 2012 in the amount of $12,148.53 which caused an escrow shortage on the account. The taxes were billed as land only in 2012. On November 10, 2012, an added assessment bill was due in the amount of $11,818.96. This bill was only sent to the property owner and covered the additional tax on the dwelling for the 2012 tax year. On December 18, 2012, the borrower called customer service to advise there were delinquent taxes on the property and a research task was opened to investigate. The added assessment bill was paid from escrow on December 24, 2012with penalty in the amount of $12,148.53. The penalties were paid from the account because the added assessment bills are only sent to the property owner. PHH is not notified by the tax office when an added assessment is due. Below is a breakdown of taxes due in 2012 and 2013 (not including the added assessment). Land only tax for 2012 - 02/1/12 - $1642.16 – paid prior to closing05/1/12 - $1642.16 – paid prior to closing08/1/12 - $1724.25 – paid prior to closing11/1/12 - $1678.95 – paid at closing 2013 Taxes which included dwelling – 02/1/13 - $6737.16 – paid from escrow05/1/13 - $6737.14 – paid from escrow08/1/13 - $7246.61 – paid from escrow11/10/13 - $2626.29 (this quarter was low due to a late appeal that was filed by the county. The original amount was $7018.48. The updated bill was paid from escrow in the amount of $2626.29) A thorough review of the account history for the period of time starting with delinquent reporting July 2013 through present confirms that our reporting is accurate. Therefore, your request for a retraction is denied Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, we must report delinquent account history to the credit agencies.

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:

Is there a way to speak to someone directly regarding this matter? I typed out a full response, however experienced a system issue and was kicked out of your system.

I completely reject PHH's response for several reasons. In PHH's response they only indicated that I have contacted them once, however I have contacted them numerous times throughout the year in an attempt to resolve this matter which was part of my initial complaint. Often, I am not even able to get through to a customer service representative due to excessive wait times (in excess of 45 minutes). In other attempts I have been repeatedly transferred to a different departments who were unable to assist me, or was told that the department who can assist me was closed. In another example, I sent a request through PHH's on line system and never received a response. I have a long list of specific employee names within various departments that I am able to provide if required. Additionally, I was told numerous times by PHH employees that I could continue to pay the current amount on my mortage and to disregard the notices I was receiving stating that my payment amount was insufficient while we tried to resolve the tax issue.

PHH is also incorrect in stating that I did not make payment for a certain period of time. I timely made all monthly mortage payments, however subsequently PHH chose to return the checks to me (in one case PHH cashed the check and then wrote me another check, which I did not receive until AFTER the foreclosure notification.

I am hoping you can help me as the consumer to get my good credit restored. My contact number is ###-###-####. I appreciate your assistance in getting this matter resolved.

Review: I changed home insurance in April 2014 my new agent told me to replace the money in my escrow account that was sent to the old ins. company or I would have a large shortage ate the end of the year. I sent in the $450 dollars May 9 2014. It was never placed in escrow. It was applied to principle. I have spent 11 months trying to get the money placed in my escrow account where it should have been placed in the first place.Desired Settlement: The $450 that was misplaced needs to be moved back to my escrow account where it was sent and where it should have been placed in the first place.

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because: I Spoke to [redacted] (ext. [redacted]) today 4/24/15 and she told me that 1) the money has not been moved to escrow yet. 2) My escrow summary you generated on January 20. 2015 said incorrectly that my escrow was $823.02 short. It also said that if I paid the $823.02 my new Monthly payment would be $537.42. After subtracting the $450 in question that left a shortage of $373.02 which I paid. Now [redacted] tells me that when the $450 is finally moved plus the $373.02 I paid on Feb 4th I still won't be given the $537.42 your own document stated. She tells me the new payment is going to be over $560 a month. I have filled out paperwork on a financial deal that said my Monthly payment is $537.42. I don't think the lenders I'll dealing with are going to look favorably on a $30 a month lie. She also told me it would take 7 to 10 days for you to generate a new summary. You add mail time and that is 2 weeks. My deal will not wait 2 weeks. I need that summary no later than the close of business Tuesday. I hope this deal doesn't fail due to this incompetence. I only taught math so I guess I can't subtract. I also fear the only way to resolve this issue, that never needed to happen, is to refinance and get as far from [redacted] as possible. The way I do math shows you won't miss the interest generated on this loan over the next 25 years. This is so ridiculous. As an aside I don't think retraining is going to solve the employee problems I've encountered over the past 11 months.

Review: We paid off our mortgage with PHH in 2012 and received a Satisfaction of Mortgage dated January 29, 2013.

PHH has not informed the credit reporting agencies that the mortgage has been payed off and our Credit Rating is being affected. The credit rating agencies show us as delinquent on our mortgage payments.

We have not been able to get anyone in Customer Service to assist us or suggest to whom we need to speak.

A secondary issue is that the Satisfaction of Mortgage document was signed by the Notary Public, [redacted] but not signed by the assistant Vice President [redacted]Desired Settlement: Correct the report to credit agencies to show that the mortgage has been paid in full and remove all delinquent reports.

Review: My wife and I elected to go through the process of refinancing our home through PHH Mortgage Corporation. We choose to refinance through them because we had an existing home loan and had good service and no overall complaints.However, this process has been anything but competent by the employees of this corporation. When we called and agreed to refinance, we gave our credit card number to them and agreed to lock in a rate. The paperwork was sent to us immediately and we filled out all the relevant material and sent it back to them the next day.Several weeks went by (almost a month) and we received a call informing us that a new processor would be taking over our loan. He informed us that nothing had been done by our previous loan manager. I raised concerns, but was assured that we would likely get this accomplished before our closing date in early October.However, now there is a problem in retrieving the title and I was called yesterday 9/23/2013 and told we would most likely not meet our closing date. I was infuriated because it was due to their incompetence that we would not make our closing date and likely lose a great interest rate that we had secured.Although there were issues in retrieving this title, if a month had not been wasted due to their incompetent employee, then we may have been able to secure the title and our loan processed.[redacted] is the current processor and can be reached at [redacted]Desired Settlement: I think PHH should delay our closing date indefinitely until the title can be successfully verified in order to close the loan. My wife and I locked in an interest rate and that should be honored.

Review: My wife and I have had numerous issues with this company since our mortgage was sold to them after the purchase of our home in 2009. The most recent issue, and main purpose of our complaint, comes after I submitted to them notification 30 days in advance-per their request-advising them that we changed our primary financial institution where our automatic payment would need to be withdrawn. We began the process of closing our previous account with PHH's understanding that they would from then on collect the mortgage payment from our new institution beginning on 16 April 2015-after we verified they had the correct information. PHH proceeded on THREE separate occasions, twice on 16 April and then again on 22 April- to pull the mortgage from the now empty and pending closure account-we have now incurred substantial overage charges-charges PHH says they will not cover. When I called to discuss this with them-I was told that the mortgage had been paid in full-I advised them this is not accurate, as my account was empty and my former primary institution logs multiple attempts to collect. Unfortunately in this process, PHH apparently does not handle their calls-or majority have been outsourced to third party reps that are in foreign countries and they do not understand what I am attempting to explain to them. Every rep you speak with refuses to transfer to management insisting "they are all managers". We have attempted to refinance with another mortgage company, however, because I am active duty military and this is now a rental property that we do not physically reside, all companies we have contacted will not take the risk.Desired Settlement: Respectfully request a full refund of all overage charges the bank has charged us as a result of PHH mortgage's failure to withdraw from the correct account.

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

Review: I closed on my house on 11/19. The loan was held with PHH Mortgage. I recieved my Paid in Full documents on January 9th. I never recieved my escrow balance refund. I have called on 1/21, 1/30, 2/3 and 2/5. Each customer service representative has given me a different excuse why they haven't sent the check or can not send it. I was told on 1/21 that they sent the check on 12/12 but they sent it to the wrong address and it will be 7-10 days when I recieve a new one. I was told on 2/5 by A supervisor named [redacted] that they had to research if the check was cashed before they could issue a new one. I closed 3 months ago and they are holding my money. This is unacceptable and illegal. They keep telling me they will have someone call me to resolve the matter and nobody calls.Desired Settlement: My refund needs to be issued and sent within 10 business days.

on 6/26/2014, I spoke to a supervisor ([redacted] at ###-###-####) and requested that an address correction be completed in the [redacted] system. The address in the system was incorrectly noted as '[redacted]' which was preventing us from being able to refinance through [redacted].

on 9/25/2014, [redacted] informed us that the address correction was not completely corrected (i.e. is it now [redacted].

At this point, waiting another 30-60 days for a 2nd address correction will change the current terms of our refinance through [redacted] (i.e. the rate lock will expire).

The address correction needs to be complete ASAP in [redacted] by PHH.Desired Settlement: Correct the address in [redacted] immediately and make it effective immediately.

[redacted] (i.e. remove the N).

In response to your inquiry, PHHMC Servicing records reflect in July of 2014 there was an update submitted for a change per customers request to reflect [redacted]. As of current date, October 2, 2014 PHHMC has updated the information into the [redacted] system to reflect the information that has been received from the Revdex.com ([redacted]).

Review: I contacted the mortgage company in November asking to defer the December 2013 mortgage payment. I was told I had to call back in December because my account was up to date. I told the individual I was speaking to that his statement made no sense because the due date is December 5, 2013. He insisted I call in December. I followed his instructions only to be told it is too late to make such an arrangement. I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told one would call me. As I suspected, I did not receive a return phone call. This company has improperly trained employees as this is the second time I have had an individual perform his/her duties in an incorrect and unprofessional manner. At this time I will make sure I recommend friends and family do not secure a mortgage with PHH Mortgage Services.Desired Settlement: I expect to have my December payment deferred so I may pay off medical expenses. I expect the company will send a letter of apology and work to train employees properly.

Response:

PHHMC records indicate that the borrower contacted us on November 15, 2013 to refinance his current mortgage; he was transferred to our Sales Team at that time. On December 2, 2013 the borrower called in requesting to delete the [redacted] loan payment for December due to hardship; borrower was advised that it was too late to delete the December draft. The borrower requested a callback from a Supervisor. On December 3, 2013 the borrower was again advised that it was too late to delete the [redacted] payment and that we cannot defer loan payments. If the client has a hardship, please feel free to call our service center at [redacted]or further assistance. Our goal is to provide all of our clients with exceptional service and regret any inconvenience or frustration.

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:The information is incorrect and they refuse to address the issue of poorly trained staff. The issue is not hardship, the issue is the incorrect information given by their employees. I have now had three instances of poor customer service. The only reason the response from this company is now posted is because I spoke with an individual this morning asking why my complain has not been addressed. This is more evidence of poor customer service.I also resent being referred to as a male. Perhaps it is the salutation of doctor that is confusing. I am a doctor and I am female.

We have reviewed the issue further and extend our sincerest apologies for the incorrect title that was utilized to address Dr[redacted]. Pursuant to our response we further apologize for the mis-information the borrower received from our customer service representative in relation to the clients’ monthly payment being deferred. Our company policy does not allow for deferred payments and this should have been properly disclosed to Dr[redacted]. In the future, please contact our Collections Department at [redacted] for any concerns relevant to payment issues being made timely. Thank you

Review: In April 2013, PHH contacted me and shared that they had new mortgage program called [redacted] and I could refinance my current home from 5.75% to 3.84%. I called them back on May 6, 2013 and told them I would like to proceed. They pre-appoved me for a 30 yr note, no points, 3.84% and $6750.08 in closing fees. On July 5, I contacted a [redacted] with PHH and shared with him my frustration with his loan processor, [redacted] as I was going to closing on July 9th and my file was still in underwriting on July 5. Received a call from [redacted], loan processor with PHH, on the morning of Tuesday, July 9 telling me that my loan was approved and my closing will take place at 3:30 that same day. At 3:06 pm, 26 minutes to closing, I received a phone call from [redacted] saying they could not get the paperwork to the title company in time to close my loan that day. I went crazy, asked for a supervisor. I spoke with a [redacted] and shared with him my frustration with the loan processor and their underwriters. He said to me, "Clearly we have dropped the ball" and someone would get back to me. On July 10, I learn my rate went to 4.125, 4 points, with closing costs at $10,786.98. I went stupid again, saying this was not acceptable and since they dropped the ball, they were to honor their rate of 3.840% and $6750.50 in closing cost. They came back to me and said 'NO", but they could give me a rate of 4.666 with no points.Desired Settlement: I want them to honor my original rate of 3.84% and closing costs of $6750.80

Response:

Borrower filed 2 complaints for same loan number, [redacted] and [redacted], same response applies. The borrower was offered 4.66% with 1 point and our company will pay the cost of the 1 point of $1849. This was relayed to the borrower on 7/5 and we are awaiting her response.

Here's my FRUSTRATING experience with my mortgage company PHH. I'm in the midst of selling my properly and needed the original copy of my land survey, which PHH has in their files. I called PHH, and made the simple request to have them mail the ORIGINAL document to me. They said it would take 7-14 business days to retrieve the document and mail it to me. I agreed and asked them to proceed. 14 business days went by, and I still had not received the document. I called and was told that it was already mailed. I waited a few more days and still haven't received it, so I called again today. I was told that they were still retrieving the document, and it would take 15-30 business days for me to receive it. What?! The first time I called, I was told I would receive it in 7-14 business days, and the second time I was told that it had already been mailed! I explained to them that I'm selling my property and need this document sent to me asap. Then, I reconfirmed that they are sending me the ORIGINAL document, and the guy told me that they're not able to send original documents. What?! Why wasn't I told this the first time I called, when I made it very clear that I need the ORIGINAL document? I'm so frustrated with this company!

Review: I have multiple instances of submitting payment marked 'FOR PRINCIPAL PAYMENT ONLY', where my payment is applied towards future payments/interest instead of as indicated. This is unethical and does not reduce my loan balance as intended with the extra payments. This happened on multiple occasions in 2014. While it was corrected after I notified the company, I can not be assured that the interest was credited back to my account correctly.

I submitted another payment on 2/26/15 to be applied again 'FOR PRINCIPAL PAYMENT ONLY'. This payment has instead been applied towards an April 2015 monthly bill and interest.Desired Settlement: I believe this company has unethical billing practices. I would like my account audited and an itemized bill showing how my incorrect payments were applied and interest has been credited to my account.

Dear Mrs. [redacted],

Please accept our apologies for any frustration you may have experienced regarding your payments not being applied to principal. Our goal is to provide all of our customers with an unparalleled service experience.

Review: On or about 8/14/2013 I went on my mortgage company's website to apply for a modification to my mortgage as I felt I was qualified. 6 months later, several unreturned phone calls, emails, and unacknowledged receipt of requested documentation by the case manager(s) my file remains stagnant with no response as promised on several occassions prior to render a decision on my file. I have documentation of several communications with the case managers, supervisors, and customer service reps. I was told at one point that there was a "glitch" in the system that strangely only affected my case and resulted in the case manager not relaizing that she had all of the requested documentation months ago. To this day (January 28, 2014) after my file has been reassigned twice, I still do not have an answer nor have I heard from the new representative. Throughout this entire horrendous process I have continued to supply the case manager(s) with the documentation that was requested. It seems that the only time I receive any information at all is when I call and it is at that point that they tell me they need something else and it'll take another 30+ days. I feel deceived and led on by PHH. As I informed the reps on several occassions, I am fighting to keep my house. I fell on a hardship and need the assistance that the federal government assured me I could get based on my circumstances to keep my house.Desired Settlement: It is my desire for PHH to process my application with the information and documentation that I initially submitted as it was a complete package of what was needed. It is my desire to have my mortgage midified to a more manageable amount to avoid me running the risk of a possible foreclosure in the future.

Response:

PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHHMC”) understands the borrower’s concern but respectfully disagrees with the allegations PHHMC did not communicate with the borrower for six (6) months. Servicing records confirm the borrower filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on [redacted] PHHMC was prohibited from initiating any contact with the borrower due to bankruptcy filing. During bankruptcy, PHHMC is only permitted to contact the borrower’s bankruptcy attorney. PHHMC did communicate with the borrower by letter and email with regards to missing items for Loss Mitigation review. On August 14, 2013 PHHMC received the borrower application for assistance; however the application was incomplete due to missing items. PHHMC sent missing items letters on August 14, 2013, September 12, 2013 and September 25, 2013. Please review the attached letters for clarification.In addition, PHHMC communicated with the borrower by email and phone on the following dates: On August 15, 2013, sent first introduction by email, August 16, 2013 emailed missing documentation letter, August 26, 2013 borrower emailed all final documentation, and August 28, 2013 borrower was emailed to provide consecutive paystubs and additional August paystub as well. On September 24, 2013 assisted borrower with questions about a notice she received by PHHMC to submit required documentation for Loan Modification Program. Borrower wanted to know why she was required to send paystubs and [redacted] Affidavit. Again, on September 24, 2013 phone call from our Loss Mitigation department to the borrower provided a status update that team leader was being contacted to confirm that all the documentation was received. September 30, 2013 the borrowers Single Point of Contact (“SPOC”) returned call to complete internal follow-up and left message advising that bank statements were received. On October 2, 2013 the borrower was removed from bankruptcy. On October 9, 2013 the borrower called regarding loan modification status and was advised that it was under review. In order to be considered for loss mitigation options, borrowers must submit a current and complete application. It was necessary to obtain an updated application and current financial information as the investor requires that applications and supporting financial documents be dated within 90 days of the review for assistance. PHHMC sent missing items letters on the following dates: December 27, 2013 and January 28, 2014. PHHMC records reflect if the outstanding documentation are not received by February 12, 2014 the borrower’s application review will be cancelled. Please review all attached documents

Review: I have two loans with PHH, loan numbers [redacted] and [redacted]. On 2015/02/05, [redacted], Attorney for [redacted], with whom I'm refinancing these loans, faxed a request for the Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases for both loans to PHH. On 2015/02/09, at 11:50AM, I spoke with [redacted] of PHH Customer Service at ###-###-####, Options [redacted], who confirmed that the fax requests for the Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases had been received. [redacted] promised to expedite the process. On 2015/02/16 at 10:25AM, I spoke with [redacted] of PHH Customer Service who told me that the Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases had been sent on 2015/02/11 and should be received within 7 to 10 business days. However, on 2015/02/18, I received from PHH copies of the 2 fax requests and my 2 Payoff Authorization forms, documents for which I never made a request, to which I already had access, and for which I had no use. On 2015/02/19, at 10:50AM, I spoke with [redacted] of PHH Customer Service, who transferred me to [redacted] of the PHH [redacted]. Incredibly, although I had received fax confirmation 2 weeks earlier, Ms. [redacted] told me that the [redacted]. had received no request for Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases in connection with my loans. In addition, Ms. [redacted] played down the importance of the fax confirmations I received, which only added to my frustration. Ms. [redacted] took the information for the requests from me, but told me it would take 15 to 30 days from 2015/02/19 to receive the Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases, even though the request had been made 2 weeks earlier. On 2015/02/24 at 11:40AM, I spoke with [redacted] of PHH Customer Service who transferred me to [redacted] of the PHH [redacted]. Ms. [redacted] said she would get to the bottom of this and get back to me. I have yet to hear from Ms. [redacted]. While PHH is ignoring my request, I'm paying unnecessary interest each day the process is delayed.Desired Settlement: I will be satisfied if the Stock Certificates and Proprietary Leases for my 2 loans are delivers to the PHH Attorney within 3 days.

Review: I also had called prior to making my payment to ensure that it was going to be applied properly. It's almost been a month and my money is being held in suspense by this company. I did not get a response to my email, nor phone call and my $380 are still in suspense. When I called the company yesterday, I was however question why I was two month ahead on my payments.

Today is the 6th business day and I called your company. I was told this would be fixed today and given a phone call. The issue is not fixed. Not only are you holding my money in suspense wit out reason for the last month, instead of applying it to my escrow but also my last 2 payment are not being applied properly. I guess you would rather have me refinance my house instead of keeping a customer that has paid every single payment on time. If this is not done by tomorrow, I will start refinancing with a different company. As a military disabled vet I should not have any issues doing this. I want my escrow applied properly and my last 2 payment distributed correctly.

Review: I submitted two (2) refinance loan packages to PHH Mortgage. Both loans should have closed in May but did not close until July 18th [redacted]) and August 29th [redacted]. I provided the loan officer all of the documentation that he requested timely but the loans did not to close on time. A request for an appraisal wasn’t made by PHH until the month of August for loan #7127921711. The delay was unreasonable and the interest rates increased by over half a point. The Good Faith Estimate when I submitted the loan should be honored (4.66 with no points), since the delays and mistakes that PHH made (not responding timely or understanding what was needed to closed the loan). PHH only responded to my complaint regarding loan [redacted] but has yet to respond regarding loan [redacted] - [redacted] property.Desired Settlement: The original Good Faith Estimate should be honored.

Review: On 05/13/14 PHH was paid in full via wire transfer the mortgage balance of $194,246.65. A balance of $2,121.94 remained in my escrow account, I expected that the escrow would be deducted from the mortgage pay off figure; however it was retained by PHH.I waited one week,(05/20/14) for the escrow funds to be returned to me; however when that failed to occur, I contacted PHH who first informed me that the law controlled the return of escrow. I informed them that I checked the law and they are not correct.I had a discussion with a supervisor (Ralph) who indicated that it would be 15-20 business days before PHH would cut a check to return my escrow funds, in accordance with PHH policy and there was nothing he could do to change it, but would try to expedite my request, he indicated would call with their decision.Needless to say my phone is silent.Desired Settlement: Return my escrow via wire transfer to my checking Acct. which is how I have being paying PHH for fifteen years.

Review: On October 3, 2013 I received a Release of Lien documentation of my property located on [redacted] Florida 33160 Loan Number [redacted].

On the Satisfaction of Mortgage document filed at Miami Dade County the name listed is incorrect, so it is also incorrect on the Recording Information.
