PHH Mortgage
Reviews and Complaints

PHH paid two home owners insurance premiums out of my escrow account to two different companies and refused to contact company they paid in error. I contacted company and they sent me a check which I in-turn sent to PHH. They have never applied monies to my escrow account and now claim I have missed several payments and been late with others. I have NEVER missed a home payment and have Never been late on a payment. PHH refused to correct their accounting error and I have files suit and will let a judge decide later this month. The cashiers check I sent them was ear marked " for escrow account only" and was never applied to anything. Someone in their company seems to be taking money and falsifying accounts to cover ti up.

It seems that all the companies that I have contacted are frauds.

I need to know the payoff of my mortgage at: 16900 SW 59 Ct, Southwest Ranches FL 33331. Matthew Novick

Send me the amount or I will have a congressional investigation to determine why you won't send it.

1st thing they did was lose a deposit check for a refi..Only took 6 months to resolve after banging my head against a wall and speaking to multiple managers..Now they have decided to ( out of nowhere) stop paying my taxes and ins. to the town I live in..instead they send me the escrow "overage" check ...While not the end of the world of course interest starts to accrue before I know what hits me as it was a 2 month ninja move that I didn't know happened.. Have reached out by phone and email to really no avail..

The worst part is that I cannot change lenders without refinancing totally...but yet PHH continues to operate on a super fishy business model that clearly skirts the murky line of legal and illegal.

I went to file home equity loan with my bank in Nov. 2021 and found out i had two liens on my house. I called the bank that had my home and they told me that PHH mortgage had not release my lien when they bought my loan. I fax them a letter telling them to release the lien, in March of 2022. I still have not got the release. The loan was transfer to Newrez in 2019 but the lien was not release at that time of the transaction.

I received a letter stating this was my Final Notice of Occupancy.

I never received any other notices about this.

My Reverse Mortage was bought by your firm from Champion Mortage, this Month, March 2022.

How can this be "FINAL NOTICE" when this is the first information since my Reverse Mortage was purchased by your company?

The information was sent to you on March 11th, 2022.

The contact number for PHH [protected]) has been off line for at least a month. There is NO WAY to contact this mortgage lender by phone. They also do not answer email correspondence.

PHH mortgage services has the wrong tax information on my address. I uploaded the correct information from my tax assessor's office. They have yet to respond after a month and there is NO WAY to contact them.

Due to a Chapter 7 filing in 2010 which did not include my home. I noticed my mortgage was not being reported. I contacted the bureaus and was told this is a creditor responsibility. PHH phone reps are foreigners with a huge English barrier. I was told on several occasions I had to correct this myself, I don't even think they are aware of the laws in the US nor care. I was given other departments to automated systems that doesn't handle the issue this has been going on for years. If I was in default, I'm sure something would show up, if you can report negative, please report positive. I was contacted by mail and email to join a class action suit for reasons of this nature as well. My mortgage is in my maiden name Drishena Ingram email last name appears different.

I represent a buyer and our lender has been ready to close on the home for a month but unfortunately, PHH Home Loans will not release the payoff for my buyer to be able to purchase the home. The home my client is buying has a reverse mortgage through PPH Home Loans. The sellers agent has called numerous times but since she is not the administer to the estate no one will talk to her. The administer has called but continues to get the run around. I have been in real estate for 7 years now and this is the first time I have ever had to extend closing because a lender would not release the payoff. I am very disappointed in PPH Home Loans. If we continue to pushing back closing my client may lose his loan. If he loses this loan, he will be out thousands of dollars all because PPH Home Loans has failed to complete a simple task. We have spoken to an attorney that is willing to handle our claim if the payoff is not released soon.

I am a Realtor who is selling a home financed in a Reverse Mortgage with PHH. My clients has called no less than 10 times, I have called easily 5-6 times, our closing attorney has called to get a simple payoff so that we can close on this home and pay off the debt but NOONE in this company will provide us a payoff! I have never in my 12 years of being in Real Estate to know of a mortgage company to keep this information away from their client. We honestly believe they want it to go into foreclosure and keep the home vs giving us a payoff. This is happening as we speak, we continually get told, its on order, its on order. We have been BEGGING for this info sinc Mid January 2022 and they STILL will not send the lender the payoff, myself or the client. HORRIBLE COMPANY!

This company has absolutely no clue, how to run a proper business.

I was in real estate once and do understand, that mortgage companies frequently change or sell their mortgage to another company.

In the case of our Reverse Mortgage, (mortgage servicer PHH) that we did in 2016, they have changed location several times. The last announcement came in Mid November, change of PHH from Lansing to West Palm Beach, Fla. Prior to that, as every year, they asked for a letter that stipulated, we are still residing in the same property, which we promptly sent.
Early January, we received another note, now from the new location, to send confirmation of our residence in the same location.

A few days ago, we received another letter, now from San Antonio, TX, where PHH requests our Home owners insurance, which is normally sent out in June/July of each year, when our police is renewed.

In Mid December we requested $ 1000 out of our Creditline of approx. $ 55, 000. That was probably in the interim of their changing locations, and was never executed.

My complaint here is, PHH obviously transfers our entire file or anybody else in the case of a change of address, WHY can they not complete this file with everything that happened prior to their change. Likewise, transfer the request for payment out of our Creditline of December 14, 2020?

We are 80 years plus and it is always difficult for us to do any of this, in addition, my husband has Parkinsons, so it all rests with me. I have called HUD complaint line this morning and reported this.

This PHH Mortgage servicer has useless employees or a useless manager/mangers.

The incident began on Nov. 8, 2021. I sent in a package for a partial release of my two properties that are adjacent to be subdivided. This package was the legal description of the newly subdivided boundaries, (my plat), to my properties. PHH only needed to sign off on the plat, notarize it, and return it to me so I could get it recorded at the Virginia Beach Court House. The city already signed off on it and were waiting for me to return the paperwork, which required the notarized signature from PHH Mortgage Services. My other mortgage company got it back to me within 10 days.
PHH sent me a letter stating that they received my request and would be sending me a package which includes a list of requirements for more information on Nov. 8, 2021.
I never received the package in the mail.
I called on Nov. 18th to check on the status of my package. I spoke with Customer Service Rep. Micah (I did not get his badge ID#). He told me that I was mailed out a package with the requested documents that would need to be filled out and sent on to the Research Department, and to just wait. I never received that document in the mail. This conversation took longer than 30 minutes.
I called again and asked if I could get an email with the necessary documentation. I was told I would receive an encrypted email that only I could open. It was very difficult to get it open, but I finally did. The first item on it said I would need to fill out an application that was enclosed. There was NO application enclosed.
I called to inquire about the missing enclosed application sometime between Nov. 18th and Nov. 23rd. That time I was put on hold by yet another customer service rep. and was on the phone for over 40 minutes. The CS Rep. knew he wasn't answering my question, but never offered to get a supervisor or Manager or someone who could get me an answer. I was told to still wait for the mail to come in.
I called back on Nov. 23rd to try again to get the documents and asked if they could be emailed to me. I did not get that CS Rep.'s name either.
I contacted my attorney and surveyor who handled the subdivision paperwork for me. They both advised me to get a supervisor or Manager or someone involved who could answer my question. They also stated that this transaction I am requesting is a simple "generic" one that should not take this long to process and return.
I called again on Dec. 1st and spoke with Alexander, Badge ID# 320. I was on the phone for over an hour with him and he would not answer my question and did not like when I demanded to speak with a supervisor or Manager. But he did comply. He told me I need to "make up all the documents, including the application". I finally spoke with a person in the "Escalation Department", their term for a supervisor. Her name was Jen, Badge ID # B36. She told me she would handle my transactions and questions from now on and gave me her Extension # so I could contact her directly. She promised to get back to me with an answer. She finally did, leaving me a voicemail that I somehow missed.
I called again, Dec. 10th. and got another Escalation Manager, Alecia, Badge ID# MIN She said she would take over to be the person who handles my inquiries. She finally told me that I didn't need an application. So, I got all the paperwork ready and sent it out FEDEX on Dec. 11th. They were to receive it on Dec. 13th. Since it was a tracked package, I wasn't worried and knew they got it on the 13th.
I called on the 20th just to check on the status and got yet another Escalation Personnel named Angelita, Badge ID# B2V. She checked on my package, confirmed it arrived on the 13th. I asked what the timeline was going to be for it to get back to me. She said 30 - 45 days from the 20th! What was going on since the 13th? What if I hadn't called about it?
Nevertheless, I waited more than 30 days and called on Jan. 24th, 2022. I got Ed, Badge # SPX3. He told me he didn't see any update on my account/status. He said he would check and get back with me on that same day, or by the next morning the latest.
That brings you up to date as that last phone call was today. It is now well over 30 days from the 13th of Dec. when PHH originally received my package and more than 30 days since I called on the 20th. It is now the new year and 84 days since they got my plat on Nov. 8th in the mail. This subdivision concerns only 15 feet of drainage, but I need it to sell my property and pay off PHH. Can you please help me? Can you check into this and get them to mail my plat back, notarized and in a secure manner?
Thank you,

PHH has been my mortgage company since 2016. I have my property taxes, condo owner's insurance, and mortgage insurance payments escrowed each month. Like clockwork, every six months PHH takes money out of my escrow account to pay my semi-annual tax payments. 2019 was no different from any other year, except that in February 2021 I received a letter from the Baltimore City Director of Finance threatening legal action against me for non-payment of my 2019 property taxes December payment. As I found out, PHH took escrow money for the July 2019 payment, but no one seems to know where the check was sent but it is known that it was never presented for payment. The December 2019 payment went towards paying the July past due amount. Because legal action was threatened, PHH paid the penalties but then took the past due payment out of my escrow account a second time on March 2, 2021, even though they confirmed they had already taken the money out back in 2019. Words cannot express the level of deep disgust, anger, frustration, bordering on hatred, that has been developed by dealing with PHH employees. I spent countless hours on the phone with these [censored]s going over everything that happened. Every prediction I made came true. Because they took the 2019 payment out of my escrow account a second time, I knew that I would not have enough money in escrow when it came time for my July 2021 payment. As a result, I knew they would want me to make up the difference, they would do an escrow analysis, I would come up short, and they would increase my payment. Every employee swore that would not happen. Except it happened, exactly as I said it would. I spent countless hours on the phone with PHH off-shore employees going over the issues, helping them input notes, making sure they understood the notes they wrote... countless hours. Only to call back the next day, speak to the same exact employee, who had no understanding of what we talked about the day before. I finally found out that the problem was I should not have been speaking to off-shore employees. I needed to talk to customer service in New Jersey. OMG! These employees made the off-shore employees look like geniuses. I was relating all of this to my mom one day. She suggested filing a complaint with the Attorney General from New Jersey. After doing some research, I got through to the Banking Commission who listened to my story, assigned an investigator, and suggested I tell the investigator my story in an email, which I did. On a lark, I cc'd PHH customer disservice on the email. Within moments of sending out the email, I received a response from customer service. All of a sudden, I was assigned an Ombudsman, who was dumber than dirt and useless but became a tool. I fed her what she needed to know to resolve the issue. I just received my 1098 from PHH, which included an Account Activity Statement showing the exact dates of the transactions. It rubbed salt in the wound.

I am an existing customer. My investment property it located at 835 Vincent Drive, Mount Dora, Fl. Few months ago, Jerryson Cesar contact me about refinance my existing mortgage. I was so exited. I want lower the interest rate. After I send all the requirement inf. he never contact me back. After it was Andrea Ford. The same. Now mr Jerryson came back again. Asking me all the documents that I send before. I paid a lot of money for appraiser the house, a guy that was send by you people. What going on? It it a scam? I want my appraiser money back, please. And I least someone that speak with me about this mess. The mortgage number they gave me it:[protected]. . Thanks.

Both of my parents passed away, and as the Executor of their Estate, I need to sell the house in order to pay their mortgage off with PHH. I notified them upon their death, and then the day of court giving me my Executor orders, and sent them all of the necessary paperwork to start the selling process on November 1, 2021. It is now the middle of January 2022, and PHH has still not released the paperwork for us to CLOSE on the sale of the house! Our first closure date was December 10, 2021, but we've continually pushed that date back because of constant problems with PHH. If I cannot SELL THE HOUSE, they cannot get their money! It has been nothing but a constant MESS even calling them! I am bounced from one person to another, no one in the US either, and when I finally find someone that speaks decent English, she WILL NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALLS! Christian Florence ID PX4

This company will not allow bi-monthly payments to be applied to the mortage. All funds will go into a separate account and not be applied to the principal. They will not help solve this issue. This is the first mortgage company that I have encountered that has this punitive payment process. We can't lower out total loan amount by doing bi-monthly payments. Do not use this company.

These guys are bunch of theifs. My Name is Syed K Haider. I had my mortgage loan with Ameri Mortgage, non escrow account. I was paying my taxes and my insurance myself. 5 month ago I found out theses crooks Bought out my loan (PHH Mortgage Services). Next thing I noticed these theifs sitting in different country changed my monthly mortgage payment from $1086 to $ 2293, added escrow without informing me even my taxes and insurance has been paid last year and this year. I called almost 2 months 5 times a day, waisted 5 ours of day every day but these thief‘s don't care. I reported Better Business Federal mortgage protection. If the matter not resolved, I am gonna go legal against these Philippine theifs. My loan number is [protected] and I live in belton Texas. Please protect yourself if you buying, refinancing, or Getting any loan. Don't go with these theifs.

My loan was recently transferred to the West Palm Location in Florida.
No one seems to know what is going on there.
Phone greeting continued to say the office was closed until well after 10 am this morning, finally someone answered the phone.
I sent in a request for money 12/9/21. I called about the status last week on the 14th. I was assured that it at been received, and it would hit my bank today the 17th. so after checking and seeing that it was not there I began calling. Finally reached someone. she said the request had been received and processed but the funds not released. I have more than enough funds to cover it.
I hired a crew of workers to begin a job Monday morning, now I cannot pay them and will have to cancel their work.
No one at PHH seems to be able to tell me what is going on and when it can be resolved. Just to call back Monday and I guess spend a lengthy time waiting on hold again.
Unprofessional way to operate. Nancy Davis

In the process of trying to buy a new house currently. Over two years ago we filed bankruptcy. At that time we tried to reaffirm the loan but PHH would not work with us and would not work with our attorney. We always made our payments online and then PHH took this feature away from us. We started sending payments in via mail to make sure we had payments coming in so we wouldn't be without a place to live. The money was put in some sort of suspense account and our payments have been reported late repeatedly. Even if we may been late here and there we did catch up everything on the account. In the past twelve months we have not been late but they are showing us as late on their records which is incorrect. They don't report any of out payments to the credit bureau so we never caught this error before. We are now having an issue getting a verification of mortgage statement and we should be able to show we were not late for the past twelve months. The current mortgage company we are trying to work with is getting ready to deny us because we can't get this information. If I call anyone they aren't giving me the information or they're telling it will take ten days to get an email or to get online. These options are not offered online. Plus the information online is incorrect. I have bank statements that show we payed the mortgage every month.

They are the absolute worst I have ever dealt with. On average I will be on the phone an hour attempting to resolve something so simple. All their representatives are in India and I can't understand anything any of them say. Worst customer service. My original loan servicer sold my loan to PHH. I am looking for a new loan servicer because I can't stand PHH.

I applied for ACH bi-weekly payments and now I'm being told an additional mortgage payment needs to be made by Nov. 15 before this service can go into effect. Every person I spoke to didn't tell me two payments needed to be made. They are the absolute worst company I've had to deal with.
