I had applied for a loan modification in December 2009 after I lost my job. Sent in all of the paperwork and other required documents each time the claimed the never received it. It was just one excuse after another. Simply put we never received the loan modification and ended up filing bankruptcy just to keep our home. I would not advise anyone to do business with them. by Naser Hussein From Crown Point IN on May 19 2011 We tried to keep our house we submitted everything they asked for after one year of working with the mitigation dept they told us that everything is good and they will send us the papers to sign and the sheriff sale will be stopped. that was all lies 2 weeks later I got someone knocking at the door for cash for keys We were shocked then I got a letter from their lawyer stating that the house was sold in the auction and asking us to leave. Anyway we left the house and rented an apt One month latter I got a letter stating that all that was a mistake and the house is ours after moving my furniture and moving the kids to a different school so we did not move back to the house. Every time we called the costumer service we were getting different answer they were playing a nasty game with us I did not mention everything because it takes a book to list what they did to us. Bad and unethical company. by Whitney Foley From Linwood KS on April 27 2011 by rick From Lancaster PA on April 25 2011 PHH mortgage is just an answering service for pendant mortgage. After years attempting to work with them through lawyers which they NEVER answered him either we lost our house. To the IDIOT that said everyone should rent move to Lybia. Know what you are actually talking about before you make a stupid statement like that. PHH aka Mortgage Services aka Cendant mortgage is a very unprofessional company and if there is a lawsuit I want in on it. by sam From Coeur D Alene ID on April 18 2011 PHH gave us the same run around- and never ended up even looking at the home modification paperwork we sent in and updated twice. I called them every week they never did anything. Eventually I got them to work out a repayment agreement which we signed and have now sent in three payments according to my repayment agreement. We were on the road back to good days proud we were able to get our payments caught back up.....However- Today I got an eviction notice- seems despite everything they said and us meeting our end of the deal...they sold the house anyway. We were given no notice that the house was sold. or even to be sold for that matter . We were told the sale had been cancelled when we did the repayment agreement. Seems they lied and have now taken every penny we have- as we were starving just to make the repayment agreement payments. Now we have no money to use to pay the deposits for getting into a rent house....since we just recently sent phh all the money we had. Called PHH and they are saying they didn't receive the payments- I have the western union documentation showing where I paid. Upset. Heading home to break now the news to my family. I didn't know people this cruel really existed. by Anonymous From Athens OH on April 10 2011 To all who say we should not have gotten the mortgage in the first place. In 2005 my household combined income was over 200k in 2010 combined income was 65 000. The industry I was in was strong with no signs of stopping in 2005. We took a mortgage at 25% of our monthly income from PHH. That was the American dream buy what you could afford when you made it correct I'm glad all you fortune tellers saw 2008 coming some of us did not and my industry changed forever. After going through our saving we cannot make the payment and keep food on the table. Yes we had over 12 months monthly expenses set back double the suggested amount but that is gone now. Foreclosure and bankruptcy are coming. There are four houses on my street that foreclosed in the past 12 months there are currently 76 homes in a 300 home development for sale. Needless to say selling the home is not an option. While PHH did not cause this we brought it on ourselves all I am asking is you have some understanding. I hope none of you have to go through what we have the past 24 months. Yes don't buy what you cannot afford but tell me what do you do when at one time you could afford it but now cannot Are you living in the same shot gun shack you bought when you first started working I bet not. This is the reality of 2011 and beyond. by joshNkathy From Hillsboro MO on April 07 2011 wow so many stories that sound like mine. been trying to save my house since june 2009. and to the jerk who says we should all just rent. when we bought our house we DID NOT enter into a loan we couldnt afford. we had great paying jobs that we worked at FOR YEARS til the economy went bad and i took drastic pay and hour cuts just to make a little bit of money which caused us to fall behind. when people in these situations fall behind these programs are available to us so nobody should get the run around that phh gives. they somehow turned my HAMP paperwork into a fannie may loan into a homesaver advance loan that somehow in the end turned into a refinance that RAISED my interest rate and house payment by $126. does anyone else smell a fraud. i too think they WANT my house as they do nothing to help and always seem to loose your paperwork even after they give you conflicting information on the phone stating otherwise. theres no way i could put what ive been through with this company as it would take up who knows how long it would be. so mr. you should all be renting before you go classifying a whole group of people over a few low lifes maybe you should not be so closed minded and put yourself in someone who's not so fortunates shoes before you go making judgements. idiot by joshNkathy From Hillsboro MO on April 07 2011 wow so many stories that sound like mine. been trying to save my house since june 2009. and to the jerk who says we should all just rent. when we bought our house we DID NOT enter into a loan we couldn't afford. we had great paying jobs that we worked at FOR YEARS until the economy went bad and i took drastic pay and hour cuts just to make a little bit of money which caused us to fall behind. when people in these situations fall behind these programs are available to us so nobody should get the run around that phh gives. they somehow turned my HAMP paperwork into a fannie may loan into a homesaver advance loan that somehow in the end turned into a refinance that RAISED my interest rate and house payment by $126. does anyone else smell a fraud. i too think they WANT my house as they do nothing to help and always seem to loose your paperwork even after they give you conflicting information on the phone stating otherwise. theres no way i could put what I've been through with this company as it would take up who knows how long it would be. so mr. you should all be renting before you go classifying a whole group of people over a few low lives maybe you should not be so closed minded and put yourself in someone who's not so fortunate shoes before you go making judgements. idiot by Anonymous From Georgetown TX on March 22 2011 have been dealing with this for over two years now. I have read most of the posts. First to the individual who thinks everyone should be renting. This program was offered with the intention of helping homeowners keep their homes. Whether you agree with the program is not the point. Many of the people involved Have substantial investments in their homes . The evidence is overwhelming that we have been treated unfairly by PHH . Good luck to everyone this has been a nightmare for me. by Karen A From Alhambra CA on March 18 2011 I thought I was the only one having trouble. I having been trying to get a loan modification and have NACA trying with me. PHH is ignoring both of us. Is there ANY help out there by sam from MD From Catonsville MD on March 03 2011 I am experiencing the same thing as most of you. Does anyone know if a suit has been filed against them yet and how I can contact them. This is way too much and they need to be STOPPED by Scott From Decatur AL on February 26 2011 We are currently 2 months behind on our mortgage. We have the money to pay it now and are unable to because PHH will not accept a payment. A FULL payment . We have filed for a "loan modification" which apparently means nothing. I have a fear they are avoiding us to push us into foreclosure. If anyone here has any advice please contact me at scottagurley@gmail . Thanks. by Arlinda From Dayton OH on February 21 2011 I have been extremely disappointed with PHH Mortgage Services. Firstly for the record I will state that I have never once paid a late payment since I purchased my house in 2003. My first complaint is that although they have been collecting escrow to pay my property taxes twice I received a notices that I was going to have a lien for not paying property taxes. I called PHH Cendant at the time and they confirmed that they hadn't paid anything and couldn't explain why they hadn't paid it. They did pay that before the lien occurred but I had to point it out. My second major complaint is that they refuse to remove my PMI even though my current loan is less than 78% of the original value and I have not paid late. They stated that the "neighborhood has declined in value" which is why the won't remove my PMI. The paperwork that I have says that "original value" should be used not current value. by Smyth From Philadelphia PA on February 18 2011 It seems that most people on here that hate the company are ones that are struggling to make the mortgage payment or can not afford it any longer. Why is this the mortgage companies fault If you think they should lower your payment to keep you in your house you are crazy. They need the payment you SIGNED AND PROMISED to pay when you bought or the company loses money. Imp sick of people asking where is obama. What the heck is he suppose to do. He should put a stamp on your head and say that you should have not bought a house. That's the problem with this country. Everyone wants something for free. I went through this company to do a refinance and it was fine. Most people on here do not understand that PHH is a servicer not the owner of your loan. When you do a loan modification the paperwork you send in goes to fannie mae and they are the ones who lose it. Get your facts straight on here or stop posting. Its sickening to hear people crying and acting like no one cares about them. GO RENT AND THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO YOU... by CHRIS SR. POWERS From Columbia PA on February 12 2011 We have submitted the paperwork for a loan modification three times now. Each time PHH has said they lost the paperwork or haven't received the entire information. We have to keep calling them requesting that they re-submit our application. We still haven't heard anything. by Casandra Jones From Chicago IL on February 04 2011 by mike From Corona CA on February 01 2011 I dealt with PHH mortgage about a year ago now. It was the worst experience of my life. I was in their modification program and paid the modification payments which did nothing. Eventually I sold my home and the bank got paid in full. I was luckily enough to walk away with money in my pocket. It's been a year now and I applied for a new home loan. The loan officer told me my PHH mortgage account stills shows open. Can you believe this even after they got paid in full they still couldn't document things right. I fell horrible for everyone our there dealing with this bank there are full of lies and totally dishonest. If you are in there modification program beware they still may sell your home. I wish everyone luck out there who is dealing with them don't lose hope hopefully some of you will come out on top. by Monica From Galesburg MI on January 29 2011 PHH has the worst customer service. I have been trying desperately to reach someone - anyone - to help on our case. I sent the paperwork in 7 months ago and can't get through to my case worker for anything by the way it took 5 months to get a case worker even assigned . They don't return E-mails or voice mails. by Anonymous From Berkeley CA on December 29 2010 Brutal. Sent me a letter telling me that they were going to be deducting a certain amount for my monthly payment they deducted a lesser amount and then increased my mortgage payment $700 a month to make up for the difference. In the letter to me saying that my mortgage had been moved to their servicing company they appropriately price my taxes. However they deducted a different amount even though the property tax in CA with Prop 13 is a simple calculation and then are trying to make up for the miscalculation in one year. I have owned the house for a year a half so it is not like the property tax was a mystery and they even had the correct amount in their initial engagement letter 18 months previously. Truly aggravating and unfortunate because their is nothing you can do that wont hurt you financially or credit wise. Just a complete feeling of helplessness. Luckily we are financially secure enough to pay for their mistake but it is simply infuriating. by Lori From Lutz FL on December 22 2010 We are right there with everyone on the modification part. From reading everyone else's complaints and comparing them to ours their modification trial period is nothing but a big joke.... What it seems trial period to do is put you more and more behind they know this and drag it out and then the ask for all the back payments knowing that the average person can't make all the back payments. Deny you and then file for foreclosure..... Sound familiar They even mailed back our trial period payments + a few others that we made after the trail period ended. We just got the check back this past August and this was from the first trial period that we applied for last year. Something needs to be done about this horrible company. by carolyn boykin From Akron OH on December 15 2010 They received my hardship paperwork in March yet they never did anything with my paperwork. They foreclosed on my home never contacting me about any type of modification. I had options that I never took advantage of because they advised me to work with them. My emails were constantly stating that my file was in review. After they foreclosed on my home I was tol there was nothing I could do even though they knew of a redemption period. They just told me today after I filed with the BBB and the Ohio Attorney General that they would not modify because of previous help. I asked them why I was not informed for 6 months of this I could have sold my home on my own deed in lieu of foreclosure or reinstated my loan. I could have gone to Save the Dream or many other Ohio State programs. They did absolutely nothing to help me. The only thing they did was give me the run-around until my house was sold and then apologize for their laziness and inconsideration. They said "Someone dropped the ball and sorry for the inconvenience." How sad a company can do this to anyone by carolyn From Akron OH on December 15 2010 I asked for a HAMP back in March sent the paperwork followed up with PHH Mortgage from March through September received many emails my paperwork was being reviewed made phone calls over 10 hours worth and never received a denial letter until AFTER the house wa sold. They still continue to state they are reviewing my file and i was told at the time of sale there was nothing I could do yet I found that there was a redemption period I was never informed of. I've contacted Fannie Mae and am still trying to work something out with them. There were many programs I qualified for yet I was told by PHH to wait until my HAMP was done.. They never followed up with me they would leave me on hold and when I would finally get someone they would either hang up on me or put me back into queue. Their emails constantly said I would hear from the within 24-48 hours. That time never came. They stated it would take up to 90 days yet they advised their was a delay and never responded even after my 187 plus emails. I really believe I have a case - even still they are delaying a response as to why they never processed my paperwork until AFTER my home was sold.

Sincerely Colleen Abrams Customer Service Email Staff Mortgage Service Center They are liars and they are lazy. The only time I received any kind of response is when I filed with the BBB and the Ohio Attorney General. By then my house was foreclosed on. They need to be put out of business. I wonder how many people lost their homes working with these inconsiderate lazy unempathetic people by Mary Papastefanou Bowling Green KY on December From Bowling Green KY on December 14 2010 Well its obvious that anyone who has anything nice to say about PHH has been paid or they are part of the scams this company has inflicted on people. I have been dealing with all the same problems with PHH for nearly 2 years. They are by far the worst mortgage company. Keep checking all the reviews. They have several Class Action Law Suits filed with the United States District Court also there has been over 324 complaints filed with the BBB Stay away from these Loan Sharks. Maybe the Government will open their eyes to all the Banks they have helped out and see they are using the money to help their and not the homeowners. Please is someone has information to stop PHH Mortgage from taking our homes that we work so hard for post it. FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A MORTGAGE COMPANY STAY AWAY FROM PHH AND INTEGRA BANK. by Scott Goodman From Woodland Hills CA on November 30 2010 by gladis From Benton City WA on November 12 2010 I thought i was the only one going through this. I have been on a trial payment for over a year. i was told it would take 30-90 days to get the issue resolved. I have just recently been asked to resubmit all documents all over again. It has been very frustrating. I will state that i have had good customer service. by Anonymous From Arlington VA on November 02 2010 They were very unwilling to work with me. by david sygall From Tucson AZ on November 01 2010 want to be part of the class action suit by NC From Hubert NC on October 28 2010 I feel for all of you guys. Me and my family have gone through all of the same things except our house actually went through foreclosure. We are in the military and received orders right in the middle of all this mess. We were applying for a modification for 4 months and the day of the foreclosure they said they never reviewed our modification and our house never showed sold. When I talked to the lawyers they said that we lost the house so we decided that if they wanted the house that bad then we might as well cut our losses and lose a headache for as much as we tried. The foreclosure was August 31 2010 we arrived overseas Sept 10 2010 and as of Oct 10 2010 I received a letter from PHH stating that they are waiting on paperwork from us to complete our modification process. When i called them they basically said that the mortgage company bought back the property and want to reopen the modification. I thought it was a blessing so we wouldn't have a foreclosure on our credit but now it seems like more of the run around. I did ask them that I had stated that I had already went through this and wasn't going to waste my time and energy going through it again to just be shot down but the man said that if they are reaching out to me this time then the chances of the modification going through are great.....yeah right we will hold are breath..There has to be someone we can talk to about this company Any suggestions by Prez From Philadelphia PA on October 27 2010 If your in foreclosure you should have never bought in the first place. Buying is a privilege and that is why they take the home away. There are sick of people not paying there payments on time and wanting a break or a lower monthly payment. Its nice to have a lower payment but if its necessary to you keeping the home then you should sell or short sale the property and RENT like you all should have in the beginning. The modifications are a lot harder then you think. Everyone in this country wants stuff for free and acts like you should get help with actually doing any thing. by anonymous From Millington TN on October 14 2010 Every comment that i have read is saying the exact same thing that I am feeling. this is the worst mortgage company that i have ever dealt with. I have had several modification loans and after the 6 month period of them making sure you pay on time they come up with some kind of excuse saying that you didn't qualify. I'm so sick of this company. Please someone do something. They must be stopped. Millington Tn. by Anonymous From Chambersburg PA on October 11 2010 trying to get the Home Modification Loan and what a joke why is it every time they need something I seem to fax it in right away call the next day they tell me they received it and will be 30 to review everything its going to take 30 days to review 1 thing so far to this date its been 60 days I mean what the heck Obama throws this out there and PHH mortgage still does what they want NOTHING and I am really not understanding how someone can refuse a payment when you are trying to make one to try and get caught up but they want 2 payments together where does this company get off with doing this they want to Foreclose on homes they act like there helping but in the long run they just want to Foreclose on your house were late with Sept payment yet and they said that we need to keep current or they will Foreclose as if I did not have enough stress I am trying to do everything I can to make my payment but they even raised it because somehow I got a screwing out of our escrow that I need to pay back and they just added that onto my house payment without even letting me know until I was going to make a payment but saw it was more and they pretty much tell me to bad pay it There crooks and if someone knows a good answer to how there allowed to refuse a payment I would love to hear it something needs to be done immediately before more and more innocent people loose their homes just because PHH Mortgage wont work with you on NOTHING by Anonymous From Belews Creek NC on October 08 2010 by Anonymous From Stephens City VA on October 07 2010 by Michelle From Richfield OH on October 06 2010 I am going through the same issues you are all going through right now with this horrible company. I urge you all to go onto senator Robert Menedez web page and send a formal complaint. The more he gets maybe he will start investigating this company as well by Thomas Hein From Bethlehem PA on October 01 2010 by Doris Ray From Pampa TX on September 21 2010 Our Mortgage company has been OK but seems they are unable to help us. Now that my Son is back to work they want all the arrears if full. My Son is able to make his Mortgage payments now but he doesn't have the balloon payment they are wanting. What they need is for the arrears to be put to the end of the Loan. That seems like the best solution all around. I am retired and disabled and can't help financially due to a very close budget. Doris Ray by Sarah Rumpff From Barton NY on September 21 2010 Predatory Mortgage company. They are telling us now that we don't have enough equity in our house to refinance. by Anonymous From Oelwein IA on September 14 2010 WHERE IS PRESIDENT Barrack OBAMA DOES HE NOT KNOW THIS IS GOING ON. I'm IN THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE CROOKS WHO WANT TO PUT CHILDREN ON THE STREETS. THEY LIE STEAL AND CHEAT. WENT THROUGH MODIFICATION FOR 11 MONTHS TO BE TURNED DOWN SAID THAT I NEVER COMPLETED ALL THE PAPERWORK WHICH I DID MADE A Payment AND IT WAS SENT BACK TO ME. NOW IN FORECLOSURE AND SENT A LETTER THAT SAID I CAN START A HARDSHIP AGAIN BUT HAVE TO WORK WITH ATTORNEYS OFFICE TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE PAID TO KEEP MY HOME AND THEY WONT ANSWER THERE PHONE OR RETURN MY MESSAGES. I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP AND FILE BANKRUPTCY AND START OVER. PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOULD STEP IN ON THIS COMPANY AND LOOK WHAT THERE DOING TO AMERICANS. by Andrea Allan From North Hollywood CA on September 09 2010 After 9 months of being routed to India and being told i was in review during the 9-months they declined me 3 times the last time they told me my loan to value was too much. I took matters into my own hands and sent an email to PHH-CEO and Fannie Mae CEO I then cc'd Barbara Boxer Biden Channel 2 4 5 7 9 11 13 CNN MSNBC 60 minutes you name it. 3 hours later i received a phone call from yours truly PHH-now they said i qualified. Received the modification it took them 4 months to send me a statement but the loan number remained the same and i continued to pay my mortgage online through my bank. Then PHH starts to send me a check for the amount i've sent in 4 in total I'm not cashing them of course i want to use it against them in a class action lawsuit. Now I'm getting letters from NDEX LLC- that I'm going into foreclosure-There's something terribly wrong with this company- I've had to retain an attorney who just sent them a letter on my behalf that they have to adhere to my modification. I've called the Office of Currency Federal Trade Commission and so far i can't find an agency employed by our government that Regulates fines or watchdogs their illegal harassing menacing intimidating tactics. I know why the suicide rate has bounced off the charts. It's companies like PHH- forcing intimidating people into foreclosures and short sales. If they re-sell a home 3-4 times over an 8 year period they've made more money faster than on a fixed mortgage. Now the most terrible part of all this in my case is I bought my home through Fannie Mae-who now has borrowed over 100 billion from the Federal Government. So Fannie gets bailed out- and tosses citizen's into a cesspool of socio-pathic power-hungry Lobbyist's mortgage brokers and people who are investing in mortgage companies. There needs to be a 60 minute segment about PHH and the media should expose them and Fannie Mae. We all need to contact our Attorney Governors in our states with a print-out of all these loggins from homeowners. I've seen PHH data entries and twice so far they've taken people to court and couldn't produce the deed of the house in question and twice the judge expunged the entire mortgage. They're obviously set-up as a foreclosure mill. by Anonymous From Plainview NE on September 04 2010 I have called this company to resolve issues and as the other people comment " they shuffle you around your on hold for long period of time. when you do get to talk to someone they are foreigners and not real polite.

If we don’t get an answer back before to long this will go to the next step in the foreclose status…People are saying they hope prayers are answered….I hope a plane drops on the building…. by Raymond Peay From Richmond VA on August 29 2010 every time I call I receive someone in India who doesn't speak english....

Total time on the phone so far is near four hours with absolutely no resolution. PHH is the absolute worst mortgage co I have ever been involved with and I have worked with hundreds.

Please email me if you have anything to do with a civil suit of any kind or any help to offer me. Thank you so much by Jeanne Meyers From Bangor PA on July 28 2010 I applied for a mixed use mortgage which they pre-approved and then they informed me later that they PHH mortgage representative made a mistake and they don't even offer that type of mortgage.

After 15 months of trying to get a loan modification with them after our payment kept increasing...we are now facing foreclosure and are not closer to a loan modification than we were 15 months ago. We have had the same run around as most of the others here. They wouldn't take partial payments we could never talk to the same person on hold for an hour a time transferred from one person/department to another....terrible.. I hope something happens to this company soon so that others facing this company wont loose their home like it appears we are going to..

They deliberately withhold information needed to process your application for loss mitigation. Or tell you they mailed out letters requesting more info and somehow you never receive them. One rep says one thing the other says something different. I've built up a pretty decent file of correspondence from them via every method possible. I've recorded every call Thank god for friends in the media. I was asked to gather a few more pieces of evidence and it will be a wrap for PHH. Time to put them on full blast my friends. I encourage you to do the same. Do it for you do it for everyone else that has been held hostage their insanity. Do it because it's the right thing to do. by Anonymous From Vincentown NJ on June 15 2010 by Dawn From Stone Mountain GA on June 13 2010 Submitted a loan modification package in mid January of 2010 they claimed they never received it although I have the fax confirmation so I sent it a second time. I called a few weeks later for the status always an excuse. I waited and waited for some correspondence and in the interim I kept calling still no progress. Finally 3 months to the day on April 15 they send me a letter confirming receipt of my package then 1 month later send me a letter that my application is missing tax paperwork and so cannot be processed. I faxed and email the tax documents and call 3 days later wouldn't you know it the rep claims a message on my account says that my email submission was not legible. I was getting used to this run around so I faxed it again and let the rep know I have been keeping my fax activity reports from the fax machine showing all successful transmissions. Now it is June 5 months since my initial application and when I called the rep says it was showing that they were waiting on me to send missing docs before assigning my file to a counselor are they serious I told her the rep last week had me on the line while she claimed to be e mailing that department that my file was complete and ready for review. She said she didn't see that it was send on to the next stage and would submit a request to have a supervisor approve my file for escalation. I am so through with this company I wish my Mortgage company had not used PHH for loan servicing it's been a cycle of constant runaround outsource reps from India who do nothing but transfer me all over and departments that cant be reached for correct loan modification information. There really does need to be intervention by the Attorney General or some regulation agency these practices are illegal. by Pat Wiles From Newville PA on June 05 2010 I had to file Chapter. 7 9/2008 - I did not include the mortgage in the Bankruptcy - but when I checked my Credit this past month found that PHH is reporting me as discharged in Ch.7 - they are not reporting that I am and have been making the payments and signed numerous forms and paid extra $$$$$ to "reaffirm" the mortgage. My credit is being trashed because of this - my rate is 7.50% and if it wasn't for their horse manure I could be paying a lot less. I contacted the BBB - that's worthless they are being paid by PHH to give them a GREAT score. Like others I was charged extra funds at the last minute at the signing and now they are telling me that I never signed any papers to reaffirm etc. BUT THEY DON"T MIND TAKING MY DAMNED MONEY - just refuse to report that they did so I am going to the AG in PA. Anybody decides to do a class action let me know I'll gladly join. by former employee From Mount Laurel NJ on June 01 2010 i worked for this company and let me tell you they do NOT care about customers heck they don't even care about their own employees. it was the worst job i ever had i worked in servicing in the NJ office i may have actually spoken to allot of you who have posted on here. It use to bother me so bad with some of the people who were actually going through hard times and crying to you on the phone and we are trained to be the way we are its not a bunch of us who don't care its just we are doing what were told to do. there were allot of legitimate reasons for people but i also had people calling who would say they didn't pay their mortgage because they wanted and needed to go on vacation what a roof over your head is the number one priority loss mitigation just laid off 3/4 of their staff so expect slower responses than the already slow responses. supervisors know nothing about the mortgage business i worked for 2 other mortgage company's before this one and i knew more than all my supervisors in my department. I just thought a company would be doing more to help its customers in the extraordinary times. by Michele Bowman From Albuquerque NM on May 25 2010 I have no correspondence telling me they would do this. I only had letters telling me that I had options. No deadline. by Anonymous From Monticello IL on May 25 2010 This is the MOST Difficult company I have ever worked with. They send you from department to department with long hold times and no one really knows anything of value. You can't talk to a single person that has any clout. They all work from a script and know nothing. They just like litigation by David Easter From Evans WV on May 24 2010 All they have ever tried to do is foreclose to work anything out they want close to $30 000.00 by Anonymous From Vancouver WA on May 23 2010 This is a flea bag of a company. Refinanced my home through my bank and they used PHH...what a complete disaster. I set up auto payment with them only to find they didn't take the first payment...nasty voicemails ensued. i talked to the bank the title company and people from PHH a rep in India...thanks for that..someone who had an accent so thick I could barely understand them and who was completely useless in addressing the issue....I talked with a "manager" in their Moorestown NJ office who assured me that it would be taken care of and that they had made contact with my bank and fixed the problem but that I would have to make a phone payment for the first payment and then the auto payment would kick in the next month....she even gave me the number to the admin for the President of Home Loans ...yea right..to do this with and not receive a charge...I did that on 30 March 10. Now here we are on 23 May and after being out of the country for 2 1/2 weeks I come home to 8 voicemails and 5 letters stating we're 2 months behind and if we don't pay they're threatening foreclosure... I was assured by my bank and the PHH people even had both of them talk that the auto payments would take effect and I wouldn't have to worry about it. Basically that was a bunch of BS from a company run by crooks. i have a credit score over 800 have refinanced my house twice before in the last 10 years with a different company and NEVER had an issue. This company should be sued...if there's a class action I want in as companies like this should not be allowed to be in business. by Lake Monticello From Palmyra VA on May 22 2010 During this on-going recession I learned about the Obama Making Home Affordable program and applied around March 2009 through PHH Mortgage based in NJ. I have a Freddie Mac loan. I was accepted into the program in October 2009 and began the six trial payments in November 2009. I thought this assistance for six months was for lowering my mortgage due my situation which according to what I read was TARP money to fix my upside down mortgage. I thought the plan was created to lower interest and payments through a re-modification program. My expenses have gone up my salary has not kept up I have chronic health issues but continue to work full time. I have NEVER been late or behind on my mortgage payments. My house is worth about $20 000 less than I owe. Let me tell you how this has NOT worked for me. I paid my trial payments of $1163 for six months. This payment was reduced from my original payment of $1242.00. The reduction totaled $468 for six months. I thought my payment would be $1164 at the end of the six months due to re-modification. Was I WRONG. I called to make my May payment to PHH Mortgage and was informed that I was rejected from the program due to income. I was then informed that my May payment was $4094. My next payment in June would be $1624 but only if I paid the $4094. PHH Mortgage Jonathan in collections said PHH Mortgage would not accept any further payments from me including my next monthly payment until I paid the $4094. PHH Mortgage would/could not explain why my monthly payment are going from the original $1242 to $1624 other than to say the escrow increased the payments. I spoke to three representatives in three departments and wasted my entire morning on the phone. I was then told that the six trial payments were put in a suspense account or holding fund depending on who I spoke with. I was then informed I owed PHH Mortgage a total of $11 369.75. I spent 30 minutes crying and surfing the internet for answers. I finally found and called the Home Owners HOPE line to ask for help and found out the following Apparently since PHH Mortgage put my trial payments into the suspense account I was not being credited for my trial payments making me six months behind on my mortgage. I also simultaneously owed the new higher monthly mortgage payment during this six month trial payment period thus the total owed of 11 369.75. The new $400 higher a month mortgage payment $1624 x 7 according to PHH Mortgage. I know it does not add up The bottom line I got my loan payment lowered for six months that totaled $468 in reduced payment no modification and now I owe $11 369.75 because apparently I was to pay the trial payments and unknown to me the new higher amount regular mortgage payment too. I don’t even get the trial payments back. They weren’t credited. So does this mean they get $6984.00 in trial payments in addition to the $11 369.75 by Anonymous From Barre VT on May 18 2010 If a civil suit is filed I want to know. I want to join the band wagon. PHHstinks@yahoo by Jodie From Somerville NJ on May 18 2010 These people make buying a home a nightmare.

But in the past several months I found they had not paid my tax bill because they said they had not received it I sent it to the specified address . When I faxed it and then followed up on that the rep told me they had no record of my fax either and to re-fax it. Today when I called a service rep asked a number of "security" questions my loan % amount left on my mortgage and the amount of my mortgage payment all of which I answered in the ballpark but because I did not have the actual figures in front of me were not spot on . She said she could not help me because I had "failed" the security test. I had by this time entered my loan number and given her the last four digits of my SSN. I told her that I could give her verbally the loan number the address of the property and my full SS. No she said she couldn't help me because I had "failed" the test. I have never missed a payment and am up to date with my mortgage payments and escrow which are paid automatically which is why I did not know the exact amounts . I am not in foreclosure and am not looking to renegotiate my loan. All I actually wanted was information on how to forward my tax bills since they had lost them the last time I mailed them It's beyond me why you would need to ask a series of "security" questions when all I wanted was the fax number to transmit my tax bills - something that was given to me two months ago by another representative without any problem Maybe they are in over their heads. by Dawna Gournic From Denver CO on March 16 2010 PHH Mortgage company has no integrity. Although I have a fixed rate they have consistently found ways to charge me fees. I highly suggest any mortgage company but PHH Mortgage. There web site is terrible and trying to resolve anything with them is a cat and mouse chase. by SD From Fort Lauderdale FL on March 13 2010 When I got my mortgage I thought it was with my local bank where I had been a customer for over 20 years. Then I tried to pay my first payment on-line and was told that I needed to either send a check or use western union who charges a fee. Several times I had situations that they claimed my payment was late when I had the confirmation that it wasn't. I fought the late charges which was exhausting. Then about I year ago I fell one payment behind and that's when everything got ugly. I received different instructions on how to bring my account current. I sent my check only to find out 2 weeks later that they sent it back to me in the mail saying that it was not certified - no one told me that was required. Then I sent it again certified and it was sent back saying that now I was 2 months past due and they needed the full amount. They would not accept partial. So I called again and said that I would pay half the amount on the 1st and the other half on the 15th and that would bring me current including all the late charges that they levied. I called after 1 week because I didn' t see it deducted from my checking account and was told that they do not accept payments that way. I told them that I was instructed by their rep to do it this way and it would be fine. She said that they would never do that I asked to speak with a manager to get a straight answer. Was told they were all busy but would call me back. I never heard from a manager. They sent me a letter saying that I needed to pay this amount or they would foreclose. I was totally floored by this. I called and once again took the instruction and sent the check in full via overnight delivery. Once again it was returned and they said that they are not allowed to take payment of mortgages that are 3 months behind. I needed to contact Fannie Mae and get there permission and that my account had gone to foreclosure. I called an attorney. I was served foreclosure papers 1 month later then called by them to say that they would take my payment. I referred them to my attorney. almost 1 year later nothing has been resolved their attorneys are none responsive to request for loan modification and now my attorney is trying to deal with them directly. I can not tell you how stressed out this has made me. I am a hardworking individual and always tries to follow the rules but if the rules constantly change it is impossible to be compliant. I believe that is PHH's intention. I would gladly participate in a class action or any investigation into this company. by Kristen From Pensacola FL on March 10 2010 I am a licensed real estate agent who spent all of last year losing income because I was representing clients who were facing short sales foreclosures. In each every case I had honest hardworking Homeowners struggling with a choice of food and medicine or paying an outrageous mortgage. In every single case a Buyer was there to purchase and offer relief and only the Lender was uncooperative. It cost myself and hundreds of my associates as well as the potential Buyers title-agents new Lenders home inspectors etc an entire year or more of lost income When I found myself in a similar situation PHH told me to stop paying for at least 90 days if I wanted to submit a workout package. I did they never responded or read anything I submitted. At Christmas 2009 they filed a Lis Pendens resulting in all of my creditors canceling my accounts and leaving me with NO OPTIONS A "voluntary mediation" hearing was held and an agreement reached. They did not hold up their end and I was told that the whole mediation agreement is "CONFIDENTIAL" from the courts. What This is insane Someone needs to listen. Who does PHH think they will be collecting from when all of us who paid them so well for so many years are homeless and can't qualify for a mortgage Wake up and call your local legal center to get counseling. I will not leave my home without a good fight. by Anonymous From Chicago IL on March 09 2010 This company works hard to not recognize tenants when they foreclose on a landlord's building. They will not negotiate with the tenants in terms of cash for keys and they threaten illegal evictions. I am currently filing complaints all around for their illegal activities. by Haley Dunlap From Enterprise AL on March 04 2010 I fell behind on my mortgage in November. PHH sent me a loan modification packet in the mail. I filled out the information and sent it to them. About two weeks later I did a follow up and they never received it. I had to re-fax it in and checked back the same day and they confirmed they received it. I received a letter for intent to foreclose from the attorney 1 week after I sent the information to PHH. I called PHH and yes I was one of the many stayed on line for about 30 minutes every time I would call. But once my case was referred to a litigation specialist step 2 every time I would call PHH I would only be on hold for about 3 minutes before I could speak to someone. The waiting was over once my account was in step 2. Once I received the sale date from the attorney I called PHH and they escalated my case. From the time I filled out the information until the time I was approved for an awesome much lower monthly payment it was only about a month process. Once the case is assigned it gets much easier but it's hard until you get to the stage of the process. I prayed A lot and I believed a miracle would happen during this process and I'm a Christian and I believed God was going to take care of this situation for me since it was out of my hands. And he did I honestly believe the only reason the situation was handled so quickly and in such a timely matter was because I trusted my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the Glory And I've learned my lesson don't fall behind on my mortgage again. by Eric W From Palm Desert CA on March 02 2010 HORRIBLE.

They were for the months of Jan. 2010 and February. 2010. February 2010 isn't even OVER YET How can that be 30 days late NO ONE from PHH has responded to our calls or faxes as we have letters from our bank and all our statements to prove there are NO late payments. Then guess what. PHH withdrew our payment from our checking account THREE TIMES in ONE MONTH. That was January 2010 yet they are saying we are 30 days late. BEWARE EVERYONE This company's call centers are trained to give you memorized answers. "Your account is still under review. It is in the first review process. You will need to wait to hear from us."

From Corona CA on February 23 2010 I feel everyone's pain. I sent my loan mod in around the month of November 09. In my loan mod package I received the conditions. In those conditions it read my foreclosure was going to be placed on a hold pending review. In February I got a letter with the intent to sell my property. The worst thing of it all was I paid them as required in my loan mod. If I would have know I wouldn't have paid them a dime and sold the property. PHH mortgage is the worst.

I am looking for anything I can do to shed some light on these crooks. Ii have enjoyed reading the posts especially from PHH employees. I am surprised you can operate a computer or communicate in complete sentences. You speak of things being our fault well if we were dealing with a Mortgage service company that was Honest fair and knew what the hell they were doing we would not have to take such action. I hope for your sake you never go through a job loss income loss death divorce etc. then maybe you will know what a lot of us who call you are going through and maybe just maybe you will show an ounce of compassion.

I'm suing....won't you join me This has been going on since 2007 and counting. Get an attorney by Dianna From Bigfork MT on February 08 2010 This company needs to be taken to court. Since March 2009 we have been dealing with a process called "loan modification". What a joke From one day to the next the reps do not know what has been talked about the previous day. We have been served with foreclosure papers gone to the foreclosure sale seen PHH's rep come in with a check larger than the mortgage buy the property and laugh at us. Then less than a week later the mortgage was rescinded because it is FHA guaranteed and the foreclosure was not approved by FHA. Since the end of November 2009 we have had no contact from PHH and even though we call and wait on hold for an endless amount of time never get anywhere with anyone. As of today this mortgage is still in the "loan modification" process and the rep has yet to call us and update us. Today is February 8 2010 almost a year later and we are still waiting. Does anyone out there have a class action going on this company Ideas to start one by Anonymous From Blue Jay CA on February 07 2010 THIS "COMPANY" WILL FAIL WITHOUT QUESTION BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEY DESTROYED ON THEIR WAY DOWN STAND UP AND FIGHT MAY PHH ROT IN HELL by Anonymous From Twin Peaks CA on February 06 2010 We all need to band together and stand up to these criminals. If there is an attorney out there reading these messages I think a class action lawsuit against these greed mongorers is in order by Karen muse From Pennsauken NJ on January 26 2010 by K. Muse From Pennsauken NJ on January 26 2010 I was also trapped by PHH mortgage. I tried on numerous occasions to lower my interest rate on my home I was sent a packet to be completed and returned. After I completed the packet and sent it to them I never heard from them. I called to speak with a representative and was told that items was missing. I received another packet asking for my pay stubs as proof of income. I immediately sent what was required. In 2 wks the packet came again I sent my pay stubs again. After the third time I couldn't believe they weren't getting them. The packets continuously came to my home requesting that I send the same info to them. When I contacted PHH they told me that they couldn't do anything for me until I sent proof of income. After going to a company to get a loan mod. I was notified that they were receiving the same treatment. They would not work with the company at all. The loan mod. co. would leave messages and PHH would take weeks to respond after a 10 mons. I received a modified mortgage that was higher than the orginal mortgage. I'm at loss of words as what to do because I can't afford the mortgage and the bills are piling up. I hope something is done about this company soon. by Anonymous From Saint Paul MN on January 26 2010 Horse poop is too kind. I would talk with someone regarding a sale and get an approval only to not get another response until 3 weeks after the supposed closing date. Ridiculously stupid process. by Kim Wilson From Freeland MD on January 26 2010 by Anonymous From Hewlett NY on January 14 2010 THIS INSTITUTION SUCKS by Anonymous From Glen Cove NY on January 12 2010 Will not go into details about our particular situation as it is like so many hard working Americans suffering today. However our loan which was undertaken with a local financially sound bank which we had a strong relationship with over the years and then they sold this last loan to PHH. The KEY THING HERE is that we have a HIGH VALUE to loan/mortgage obligation on our property. In the last year PHH Mortgage Servicing started to implement predatory "servicing" . Posting payments as late sending miss calculated "payment book's" miscalculated property tax payments escrow account's etc Needless to say it has been a nightmare. BuT we have managed to get them to document EVERYTHING via e-mail which instill is perplexing since we send/receive all correspondence to/from a MBS mortgage backed security contact at "Mortgagefamily ". Who has glippy stated that Fannie Mae owns our loan. Funny thing when we prepared for the worse last year 9/2009 job lose. health issues and reached out to a HUD sponsored Mortgage Counselor we could not be helped since we did not have GSA backed loan We find this very suspicious since now less then a year later we are told that Fannie Mae owns our mortgage. We have made many sacrifices to meet our fiduciary obligations and I am not talking about cutting down the number of times we go out to dinner. As small business owners we have negotiated and excepted reduced payment's from clients keep our thermostat on 50 degree's eat rice and beans 5 out of 7 nights drained all savings and the list goes on. We know we are not alone we are not sub-prime borrowers we negotiated in good faith with a strong local bank who was willing to take more risk then we signed on for and turn the servicing of our loan over to PHH who for all accounts is "predatory servicer" looking to maximize its balance sheet with going after "high value to loan obligation" properties. I have been doing a vast amount of research on this and we are scraping together fund's to get a full detailed mortgage audit done of our loan not just a TILA audit but a full investigation. Anyone out there with a modest mortgage that feels threatened with job loss or has suffered income reduction due to the "Fleecing of Hard Working American's" by loan securitization again MBS's should consult a qualified forensic mortgage audit consultant. Apply due diligence and make sure it is not a newly formed LLC/ subsiserary of your "pretender lender" mortgage servicer etc. Trust me there are plenty of them out there. Do your homework and do not back down. I look forward to post's by other's in a smilar position with the MBS "Team" at PHH Mortgage. Chances are they do not own the loan the mortgage on the property and if you have high value to loan obligation be scared be very scared by RV From Ozone Park NY on January 08 2010 This company is the worst I have ever had to deal with. Let me see. 1099 Wrong 1098 Wrong Names on account Wrong Simple things they can not get right. Maybe because when you call customer service you get some who can't understand simple english. These guys are crooks. I wish my bank never sold them my loan.

I was locked in at a 30 year mortgage with a fixed interest rate. My payments started out at about 200 dollars a month. I recently received a letter from them stating that my new payment would be 500 dollars a month. I have never missed a payment or been late. I called to ask why my payments went up so much. I was told because of taxes and insurance. I got out my paper work and guess what Both taxes and insurance have only went up 300 dollars a year. I now have a lawyer looking over the paper work. Yesterday I was called by the state attorney and asked to forward all of my paperwork to them. I do believe that the state is building a case against this so called rip-off mortgage company. by Via From Winchester VA on January 04 2010 I deal with PHH Mortgage all the time for my job. I work in an attorney's office We have clients filing Bankruptcy on this mortgage company all the time. I have spent countless hours on hold to achieve even the simplest of legal agreements which are usually sent back to them with several mistakes. These people have no idea what is going on with their business. I am glad to see that everyone else has identified this problem and want to do something about it by Greg Cartwright From Twin Peaks CA on December 28 2009 Phh hasn't talked to me or responded to me in over 13 months. They are scavenging every dollar they can get their hands on so that they can settle the class action lawsuit that is to be filed Jan 4 2010. We need your participation in order to effectively execute this motion. please post your interest on this web site. DON'T LET ANOTHER FRAUDULENT MORTGAGE COMPANY GET AWAY WITH THIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. Even if you have already lost your home you may be entitled to a settlement. 909 844-6130 DON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT by Angel From Pocahontas AR on December 22 2009 After reading so much of these comments I thought I was the only person who has had the problem with PHH. I also sent in a loan modification and they advised that it would take possible up to 90 days but they would continue with the foreclosure until they received all the paper work then they would postpone the the foreclosure sale until reviewed. I faxed everything back to them the next day I called and spoke with a man that said yes they had received my paper work but that it had not been taken by an employee for review I spoke with this man for around 20 minutes he advised me that they were there to help me stay in my home and not to worry that everything would be OK and they would work with me and they would stop the foreclosure on my home till they had reviewed my loan modification which could take a month or so not to worry they would contact me in a few weeks in 2 and 1/2 weeks I read in the paper where I had deeded my home to PHH Mortgage they had went a head with the foreclosure and to my surprise they did not auction it off at the court house as was stated in the paper work I had first received they just deeded it over to there real estate company they own. I read this in the paper and call them they advised yes the home sold on Nov 3 and did not receive my loan modification paper work until Nov. 6th after they sale. I advised them that yes it was faxed to them on Oct 19th and that I had called and spoke with a man that advised me that you did receive my paper work and that I could pull up my phone records showing where I had faxed the paper work and made the phone call and they should know who I spoke with since they supposedly record phone calls. They said yes they see where I had made the call but they were sorry nothing could be done the house had sold and I would have to speak with the REO Expert needless to say all you get is a voice mail to leave your name and number. Still have not received a phone call. I have no home my children have no home. I still don't understand even if PHH did not take any bail out money how can giving the banks money help the economy people tax payers are what makes the economy if they tax payers can not pay there mortgage or loans yes the banks are going to fail but if the money was spent or giving to the taxpayers they could have paid for there loans money would be put back into the economy back in the banks to make more loans not for big banks to receive money and people still lose there homes the banks have came out OK yet the tax payers still can't repay their bills and when you get a company that can make double on PMI Insurance and the sell of your home why would they want to help any one stay in their home by Valerie White From Madison TN on December 15 2009 Bad - tell any of your banks NOT to deal with this company - they need to go out of business or be taken out of business - they are screwing up credit ratings and reports of customers that never agreed to be a part of them in the first place our bank Cuna Mutual SOLD our contract to them because they sold the entire mortgage dept to them in 2005 SHAME on this kind of junk going on to people who are paying their Salaries by VW From Madison TN on December 15 2009 my bank sold my mortgage to this company without us knowing anything about them and it's been hell on earth since. They have messed up our credit rating since 2006 and we cannot get simple paperwork taken care of that is going to assist us in making a payment to our mortgage. I think the attorney general of NJ and Fla should look into the antics this company offers those who are PAYING them They should not be in charge of any mortgage out here and it's time for us homeowners to find a legal loophole to get out of contract with them. by Anonymous From Glendora CA on December 14 2009 PHH is the worst company ever. But I've gone through the comments and will take action. I'm tired of waiting for PHH to do something right. I have rights too and I'm going to make something happen POSITIVELY for me. PHH you all suck by yogismom From Whitehall PA on December 09 2009 Call a real estate lawyer if you have a mortgage with PHH formally Cendant The former ceo and chairman are both in prison for fraud by Steve From Winter Springs FL on December 08 2009 Just endured the 'loan modification program" still waiting for the other shoe to drop I have never dealt with any organization / company with more ineptness in my life. I was told one thing and then another on top of another. I did not know what to believe. I was two payments behind due to job loss and believed the "change we could believe in" but it is not so. I have read a number of class action suit lines through this page and I think it is a great idea. by Anonymous From Springfield IL on December 04 2009 This company is a joke. I sent in my loss mitigation package and harped on them for over 6 months before they finally reviewed and gave me loan modification. My payment went up and now I can't keep up. They sent me another loss mitigation package in the hopes of doing a quick sale or deed in lieu. That was 4 days ago. Last night I got served with Foreclosure papers. What a joke by George Anderson From Redding CT on November 29 2009 I contacted PHH Mortgage Services for assistance as soon as realized we were going to be have trouble meeting all our financial commitments. That was 6 month to a year ago. Three or four month ago we received a letter from PHH Loss Mitigation in the mail asking us to sign a forbearance agreement where we would pay a significantly reduce payment for 6 months. There were no details in this agreement on how much of this would go to principle interest escrow etc and there was a deadline to have this signed and returned. I only had about three days from the day I picked this letter up from my PO box to meet this deadline so I made several calls to PHH to try to get this info. The employees at PHH are either completely inept or PHH Management has instructed them not to release any details on these agreements. I think the latter is probably the case. It obvious their job is not to help the customer as much as protect the company's interests. After speaking with 3 or 4 people I still had not found out anything about principle interest or escrow but the last guy told me that after 6 months we would be responsible for repaying the difference between the reduced payments. I decided that if PHH was not going to spell out the full details of this agreement in the agreement that they could not be trusted. I chose not to sign the forbearance agreement and let the deadline pass. Instead we decided to make extremely painful cuts in other areas and not pay some other bills just so we could continue to make our full mortgage payments. Since then I have received numerous automated voicemails from PHH indicating that I need to call them but when I call them back at the number indicated I end up on hold for 30 minutes 45 minutes or more before I give up. To this date we have never missed a payment. The last two mortgage payments for October and November were made to PHH in full via Bank of America's electronic Bill Pay system. Since then I have received notices from PHH that they have not received our Mortgage payments and are threatening foreclosure. I checked the bank of America web site to confirm that the payments were made and then I called Bank of America just to make sure. The Bank of America rep confirmed that PHH should have received the payments. PHH received the first payment Oct 1st and the second payment Nov 13th. The November payment was not made on the due date but was within the 16 day grace period allowed. The Bank of America rep called PHH and conferenced me in. We were on hold for quite a while but eventually got a PHH rep on the line. The rep would not give out any info at first but put us on hold spoke to a supervisor and then confirmed receipt of the payments. The PHH rep indicated that the payments were no being applied to the mortgage but being held by Loss Mitigation and I would have to speak with Loss Mitigation about it. She transferred the Bank of America rep and I to Loss Mitigation and we waited on hold for about 45 minutes before getting cut off. During our 45 minute hold the Bank of America rep had a lot of time to chat and she could not believe PHH Mortgage did business this way. by St Clair From Fair Haven MI on November 22 2009 How refreshing to see this site These crooks miscalculated my payments and tried to prematurely foreclose on me. They also posted my escrow incorrectly and lost $911.00 of mine beside lose a payment The loan modification that I signed was changed by them before they recorded it. I think this is called fraud. They kept the page that had my signature but changed the name of the bank dates and descriptions of my lot The loan modification was a joke - they added $22 000.00 to my note charging me for attorney fees and others unnecessary costs. The banks are taking our tax money to stay afloat but meanwhile they are padding it on to their assets. Isn't that like being on welfare and working under the table Wake up WASHINGTON It's happening right before your eyes Nobody is listening or paying attention. It has been a total nightmare This company has created fraudulent documents and recorded them in the county records They mailed it in so that is MAIL FRAUD Prior to the loan modification they made 36 error to my account since 2005. I could go on and on.... somebody please - investigate this company I need to find an attorney to take my case or would love to do a class action. I have contacted the FBI and they claimed it was definitely fraud. If everyone out here that has similar stories PLEASE contact the FBI - it will help us. I posted some of my complaints on http // ripoffreport / You will see others complaining - you don't have to join it to read the consumers complaints I will do whatever it takes to stop them URL http //phhmortgage.wordpress /your-phh-mortgage-complaints/ by Anonymous From Cedar Grove NJ on November 12 2009 by joe baron From Portland OR on November 11 2009 by lauren phillips From Saint Louis MO on November 02 2009 PHH Mortgage is by far the worst company I have ever encountered. My husband lost his job in August 2009 and I applied for a loan modification. I filled out paperwork and sent it back. I called everyday sometimes on hold for up to 40 minutes and was told a different story everyday. Some said call tomorrow some said wait 30 days. Then finally I was told I was approved and I should receive a letter stating this. Instead I got a letter that said they denied the loan modification and foreclosure process had begun. Again calling everyday getting a different response I was told there was nothing they could do at this point. So and so would have to call you or so and so will email you. Needless to say no one called or wrote and now I have lost my home and my credit. This company should not be in business. by Peggy Love From Inwood WV on October 22 2009 by Melissa A From Bushkill PA on October 16 2009 I have been working on a Loan Modification on my home for 6 months. I'm now writing to President Obama all my Senators and Representatives...I say a class action lawsuit is what is necessary at this point by Lisa Adams From Bowie MD on October 14 2009 this person works for PHH..this is why you get nowhere..look at the attitude he has. Hopefully no one gets sick dies loses their job or divorces so he won't be in the position that half of america is in...Just unbelievable. wow the person who thinks we are owned by citizens isn't very bright. you obviously didn't talk to someone who works for PHH I work for PHH and I know for a fact we are working with people every single day to mitigate/modify their loan. we didn't take a dime of the bailout money. also you people need to keep in mind that you should take a good look at the documents you sign when you get a mortgage. you agree to every single thing that happens on your loan. if you didn't read through it it's your fault also if you can't afford to pay a double payment you can't afford your home. if we ask you for something and you don't get it to us it's not our fault if we give you rules/guidelines to get docs to us and you just do it whenever. your home should be your first priority NOT YOUR LAST if you weren't making your payments as you agreed to YOU DESERVE NOT TO HAVE A HOME by Charles Tina Vermeulen From Avoca MI on March 09 2009 by william ashton From Lithonia GA on October 12 2009 by used and abused From New Orleans LA on October 01 2009 Although the federal flood insurance program only covers the structure PHH insisted that I buy sufficient flood coverage to insure their loan value which included the land value as well. When I refused they unilaterally took out a supplemental flood policy at market rates not the federal program and took it out of my escrow. This was illegal. Since it only cost $75 to add the coverage they demanded to my federal policy I did so rather than fight them. Their illegal misuse of my escrow funds should have been reported to the BBB. I regret not having done so at the time. OF COURSE this was just after Katrina even though my home was not flooded at all. They are a crooked company with bad employees. by Marlo Urey From Meadville PA on September 22 2009 by Anonymous From Stroudsburg PA on September 16 2009 Seeking help with mortgage when it was only 2 months behind. Sent all paperwork as requested and can't get any response from PHH. Stopped calling and now foreclosure process has begun. They don't have time to process my paperwork but they have time to file for foreclosure. Sooooo mad at this company. Always paid mortgage on time until last year when I lost my job Jan 2008 then my spouse lost his job in Dec 2008. I was able to bring loan current in Mar 2009 and now I received a letter from a lawyer with our notice from PHH of foreclosure. This is a VA loan and I hope the VA can help me keep my home while I try to find a new company that will take my bad credit. by Lawrence Delarue From Orange TX on September 07 2009 by cbwallace From Marietta GA on September 04 2009 They must have about 2 people working in customer service. Here's an idea if you can't handle as many outstanding mortgages as you do don't book them. by Linda Gendron From North Grosvenordale CT on August 25 2009 by Mary From Longview TX on August 21 2009 For all of you people having trouble with PHH this is what you should do right away.The Mortgage company is not really working with you. They are just saying they are . They told me everything was fine and then I find out they are going to foreclose in Sept. Don't fool with the Mortgage Company they just want your house and don't want to work with you. Just call the MakingHomeAffordable.org.I told them I wanted to make a complaint about these people not helping and you never talk to the same person twice and they say they are going to send paper work and don't. MakingHomeAffordable has a Hotline Escalation Team that talks to the Lender and they get it straight. Don't wait on PHH its a mistake I made. Good Luck may God help us all. by Anonymous From Trenton NJ on August 21 2009 Seeking help with mortgage when it was only 2 months behind. Sent all paperwork as requested and can't get any response from PHH. Stopped calling and now foreclosure process has begun. They dont have time to process my paperwork but they have time to file for foreclosure. Sooooo mad at this company. Always paid mortgage on time until this year. by Connie From Hoopeston IL on August 21 2009 What a nightmare We had a short sale on a property back in May of 2004. We had been advised to not make payments on the house. Don't EVER follow that advice. Anyway we are trying to buy a house in Arkansaa at the present time. Our credit score was approximately 766 about 8 months ago and since that time we have paid WAY above the minimum payment due on our current mortgage as well as our credit cards. We now have the credit cards paid off and have $30 000 equity in our home since buying it 3 years ago We had an offer accepted on this home in Arkansas. We applied for a loan with Bank of America. They said everything looked good but then the underwriter called and denied our application. Guess why It's because Cendant Mortgage Service Center now PHH recently reported to the credit bureaus that we had a foreclosure in 2006. We have NEVER foreclosed on anything They also reported that we had a charge-off of 70 000 in 2006. First of all it was NOT a charge off. We sold the house for a couple thousand dollars less than what we still owed on it. And it was NOT in 2006 once again. PHH will destroy your dreams. We had our hearts set on purchasing this home. In trying to get someone with a pulse at PHH... GOOD LUCK and when you do get a live person they are rude and snotty I have called the attorney general's office but it will take time.... time that we do not have. PHH formerly Cendant should be sued or forced out of business. They mess with people's lives. They report incorrect information to the credit bureaus. They will ruin your credit and not make any attempts to correct their mistakes. The nightmare continues. by Beverly From Sun City CA on August 03 2009 Same story - lost my job and trying to get a short sale approved. It has been 7 months and an auction date has been set for Sept 7. They have assured me that they have so many cases to deal with that they have to deal with the critical ones first. How much more critical do you need to be. They have lost documents and I have faxed them over and over again. They stink by Dave From Rancho Cucamonga CA on August 02 2009 Re by Anonymous From Redlands CA on July 01 2009 Stop complaining and being a victim." Either "Redlands" is a moron or lacks compassion towards others in dire straights. Redlands must have a very high-paying job that allows him/her to continue paying on a mortgage that is over-valued in today's market by 60% or more or hasn't taken out a first or second mortgage since 2006 prior to California's RE market starting its slide into the abyss. My situation has us in loans totaling $400k on a property now worth less than $200k in todays down market. Who's to blame for the falling home prices The borrower The realtors The mortgage industry Somebody knew something was going down but nobody sounded the alarm until the top deck was under water So Redlands go fix a hot cup of STFU Our second mortgage for home improvements and room addition is through PHH formerly Irwin Home Equity . We attempted to get a loan workout but were just denied. This after spending about 4 months working with them. Now we are awaiting on the First Mortgage to determine if they will modify their loan. If this fails we may be homeless soon... Yet these bankers are still getting million-dollar bonuses Unfair and immoral. by Anonymous From Minneapolis MN on August 01 2009 Hidden kickbacks Loan officer helped my ex-wife steal from me for four years by donna From Elko MN on July 27 2009 Ok I have had PHH for several years without any problems. I was always on time with my payments. But in Dec.2008 I was robbed and my debit card was used. I was still struggling by Feb 2009 and asked PHH to consider loan modification. This was JUST BEFORE the so-called Obama help with loan modifications. PHH said I needed to fill out forms. Did that right away and even have the confirmation that the fax went through but PHH says they didn't get it until April So first they said process takes "several days" next phone call stated "at least 30 days" next pc stated "three months" then finally "six months". I am sending two half payments monthly and they are cashing my checks but they don't like it. Then in May they raised my monthly payment by another $100. Does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing I can't get a straight answer from anyone and have been more than patient with them. I'm not as bad off as others but every month is a constant struggle to make that payment. What kind of company strings people along for 7 months Such awful service. They could at least give me an u pdate-that's if they are even doing anything at all. by Judy Smith From Phoenix AZ on July 14 2009 DO NOT ALLOW PHH MORTGAGE AKA COLDWELL BANKER MORTGAGE TELL YOU NOT TO MAKE A PAYMENT UNTIL YOUR LOAN MOD GOES THROUGH. I WAS TOLD THAT MY MODIFICATION WAS APPROVED AND I HAD TWO MONTHS BEFORE MY NEW PAYMENT WAS DUE. AFTER 35 DAYS THE PAPERWORK CAME IN THE MAIL AND LITTLE DID I KNOW THEY WERE GIVING ME A 40 YEAR MORTGAGE WHEN I ONLY OWED 23 YEARS. I WAS ONLY BEHIND 2 PAYMENTS OF $1450 EACH AND THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME 18 MORE YEARS ON MY TERM OF THE LOAN. THIS IS FRAUDULENT SCHEMES AND LAW ENFORCMENT AND THE FBI NEED TO BE NOTIFIED THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN BUSINESS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY CONGRESSMAN AND THE WHITE HOUSE by Frank From Yuma AZ on July 06 2009 This is far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have waited 45 minutes on hold to get through to someone in loss mitigation for them to tell me I have to speak to the "assigned counselor" assigned to my account. She has never returned my calls in over two months I was offered a Home Saver Loan that would give me $4 500 that I was in the rears for. I would then have 10 years to pay this off. Yes I was that desperate and agreed to a 3rd mortgage. I signed the documents returned them fed ex and later find out this is a "new program" and it is not "really set up yet". Can you believe this BS This is Fraud Anyone want to go in on the Class Action Suit I am there by Paula from Arizona From Yuma AZ on July 06 2009 I was just granted a loan modification on my ARM loan last week after waiting 6 months. The deal was to raise my interest rate by .50% and my payments would go up $50 a month. This sounded great as I would be locked in for the remaining 26 years instead of having an ARM that readjusts every six months. After receiving the paperwork I signed everything and later realized PHH Mortgage was giving me a 40 year loan Incredible they were extending my loan 14 years and I am only behind two payments of $1 300. These people need to be sued and I am with everyone else on this website. I have called over 20 times in the past two months requesting to speak to my counselor assigned to me from loss mitigation. She never has once returned my calls. I have asked to speak to a supervisor on numerous occasions and have been told only my counselor can help me. These people are crooks and need to be held responsible by the government. Having been a realtor with Coldwell Banker aka "PHH Mortgage" this is horrifying I have never experienced such poor customer service by Alex From Staten Island NY on July 06 2009 By far the most frustrating company to work with. Horrible communication. Which resulted in me losing my locked in rate. They also take forever to look into complaints. This company screwed me so bad i had to take the Refi from them at an additional cost of 1% point to me and the nightmare did not end there. DO NOT DO BUSINESS W/THIS Company. Find out who you are dealing with because they are contracted by several different banks by Jamie Caswell From Hooks TX on July 06 2009 They were fine until I went through a divorce and was left with no money I had never even had a late payment with them and my credit score was 780 at the time. I had my payment coming out of my bank account auto debit but when my wife left she stopped the payments and changed my contact info to them so I couldn't receive late notice by mail or phone till it was so far behind and with me in Iraq it made things hoarded and they only wanted full payment or nothing at all. by Anonymous From Redlands CA on July 01 2009 Stop complaining and being a victim. by Stephanie Ford From Richmond IN on June 24 2009 by Alice Brock From Vernonia OR on June 22 2009 Somehow in April 2008 PHH stopped paying our flood insurance from our Escrow acct. and sent us a check because of an escrow overage. I called them to verify the check was indeed ours they said yes so I cashed it. They paid the flood insurance the next month homeowners insurance in August of 2008 property taxes in November 2008 and we never heard a word from them. Until April of 2009 when they informed us they we had an escrow shortage and owed them $940.00. I called to find out what was going on and the nightmare began. I have spoken to 15 different people and heard numerous different reasons for what happened. We have received 3 annual escrow statements since April of this year and a letter with yet a different amount to pay on our mortgage. If they screwed up our account this badly they must have done the same or similar to others. Our problem still hasn't been solved. If anyone out there is interested in stopping these crooks please let me know. The only way to get to people or companies like them is theu their wallet. If it's not going to cost them they won't listen. by The Adams Party From League City TX on June 11 2009 Hire an attorney by The Adams Party From League City TX on June 11 2009 All I can say to you is Complain Complain Complain. Complain with the Texas Attorney General's Office. Apparantly PHH has HQ's in Texas not Mt. Laurel NJ. I first complained with the NJ Attorney General and they forwarded my complaint to the TX Attorney General b/c the HQ's must be unpublished and located in TX somewhere. Also complain with the FTC federal trade commission the HUD Housing Urban Development and the BBB better business bureau . Complain to President Obama. Complain to your Senators and Congressmen. Let the media know and get them involved. by j.c. From Saint Cloud FL on June 10 2009 Been trying to modify my loan since May 2008 after my wife lost her job. Hired a modification company because PHH refused to help me. Now they ignore the modification Co. too. I've had over 6 negotiators assigned to me. Had a final sale date in March they stopped the sale 2 weeks out after I paid a deposit on a rental home insisting they were going to work it out. Now they've set the final sale for July 6 citing I've done nothing to work it out yet when I and the modification Co. call they tell us it's still in review until the 3rd week of June... Great with the final sale a week after... So now I'm back to packing. by Jesus From Palm Bay FL on June 09 2009 I lost my job and had to relocate 3 hours away. The cost of maintaining my now vacant home and new dwelling where employment was began to be financially burdensome. I submitted a hardship package and never received any feed back from PHH. After 50 days I contacted the president of the company who assured me that someone would be in contact with me. No one ever contacted me so I emailed him back and then someone contacted me who after 5min of looking at me hardship said all I could do is do a DIL or a short sale. Both meant that I had to give up my home and hurt my credit. I have called and left over 7 voice messages and waited over 3 hours and no one ever picked up. I dialed various extensions to get someone and the person I got hung the phone up on me after saying she would help out. PHH is a joke and should be penalized. by San Diego From San Diego CA on June 08 2009 There should be a class action suit brought against PHH mortgage. We in good faith advised them of my husband's spine surgery and the fact that we would be down to one income. They told us they couldn't help us until we were actually 3 months late with our mortgage. Well we were then we had to call them twice a day until we got through and they sent us the application for loan modification. We completed it immediately and they received it on October 7 2008 We then started the phone calls every day 2-3 times a day. You could never speak to your loss mitigation rep I don't even think he exists We were just notified that from their attorney's that we have 3 months until our house will be foreclosed. We then set out to speak to someone in loss mitigation that would listen to us never spoke to our rep but did speak to someone who sat next to him. She told us that in their computer system it is noted that the application has gone to the investor and we should have an answer in 2-3 weeks We have told PHH that we want to pay our mortgage and are ready to do so we have been in contact with HUD and have done everything possible to get through to them. If anyone wants to sue these people I would be glad to join in I want to get away from them as fast as I can I would gladly pay more interest with another lender than PHH. by The Adams Party From League City TX on May 20 2009 Send this letter to your representatives and join us at phhmortgage.wordpress To Whom It May Concern I am writing this letter today to bring your attention to what USA Today named the 11th largest mortgage servicer 6/26/08 PHH Mortgage with headquarters in Mt. Laurel New Jersey. What is a mortgage servicer Perhaps you could shed some light on that. But more importantly why is a company still in business with three lawsuits and a class action lawsuit against it 125 Better Business Bureau BBB of NJ complaints against it and hundreds of complaints against it on various websites See Google searches Lawsuits/Complaints/Class Action Lawsuits and PHH Mortgage. I understand that we made a commitment to pay our mortgages but we were never given a chance to choose who would service the mortgage and we certainly did not choose PHH Mortgage. Plus I have yet to find a way to switch my mortgage servicer as I would my cell phone provider. Please for a moment think of our consumer society. We can choose among a few cell phone carriers and we can decrease or increase our monthly plans when needed. We can choose between cable satellite or antenna for our television watching. We can choose to decrease our cable channels to save money. We can decrease our grocery intake electricity usage and traveling to save money. We also expect to be able to adjust our mortgages if needed. I understand that in years past the banks would just take your house or car if you didn’t pay for it. But we are in a completely different era now. We are in the era of the AIG and bank bail-out controversy. We have seen Wall Street rewarded time and again for breaking our trust and making money because rules were not there and their moral compasses were broken. We were fooled and we deserve regulation honesty and fairness. I am a victim of PHH Mortgage’s bad business practices and I am not alone. When the taxpayers bailed out AIG and banks the situation generated plenty of media and congressional attention. Shouldn’t mortgage servicers such as PHH Mortgage receive the same amount of attention After all what are they What do they do What rules do they play by Why can’t we choose and switch our providers PHH Mortgage and others like them are doing damage to many Americans by placing a scarlet “F” for Foreclosure in their credit reports. Don’t we deserve more from a company that can harm us so much Sincerely by j mccann From Parkville MD on May 20 2009 Tried to do short sale for 7 months after losing second income sent all doc disclosures waited 2 months no response called same idiot reading off the paper in front of them your package has been received and takes 30days to review.

Three words you could use to stop foreclosure PRODUCE THE NOTE by sj From Mount Laurel NJ on May 20 2009 does anyone know the names of these crooks I heard they are in the south maybe florida someone respond I need names. by Anonymous From League City TX on May 18 2009 This is the worst company I have dealt with. I just hired an attorney in the hopes of PHH actually accepting a short-sale offer. by angry and confused From Long Beach CA on May 14 2009 1 day before closing we get a call from PHH saying we will need an additional $25 000 down payment to get our loan. ONE DAY BEFORE CLOSING ESCROW they made a miscalculation and put us through the entire escrow process including requiring that the seller make significant repairs for our conditions to funding wasting the agent's time the seller's time OUR time our MONEY we are in shock. we will now lose the house lose our earnest money and lose the time and effort we invested in this home. from the sounds of what I am reading here maybe it is better that we are not moving forward with this unethical company. by Jay From Dryden VA on May 11 2009 Dont believe quote's such as "I have dealt with PHH Mortgage several times and have always been pleased with their service and costs. It was very easy fast and without hassle. I recommend their service to all my friends and family." Its just another PHH lacky who is tring to save face for a decietfull company.Our goverment bails out these kinds of companys while in the same fatal swoop sends us to the poor house.This country has become for and by the companys not the people for quite a while.I hate this country anymore and the person that wrote the above quote should go straight to hell by RETHA MUSE From Fort Lupton CO on May 11 2009 by Anonymous From Baltimore MD on May 10 2009 I've been going through the same run-around the past few weeks with loss mitigation. Luckily I am only a 2 hour drive from their offices in New Jersey. I'm driving there tomorrow and not leaving their offices until someone aside from an operator or answering machine talks to me and gives me the information I need. Will let you guys know if I have any success. by Bill From Powder Springs GA on May 09 2009 My first loan with them went great was very good service. This new loan on a different house is the worst process ever. The first loan rep went on leave and it is like all info is lost. I have been ask for dead book info on property I own in a different state. I am wondering if my personal info is safe in that the first two times I have sent it it seems to be lost. by Jon From Washington DC on May 08 2009 Ok folks here's how it works. It takes a while for them to process a loan modification even up to a year. Basically they will continue with the foreclosure procedure while processing your loan mod request. Eventually you will receive one in all instance however this is very important there will be strings attached. For starters your credit will be destroyed. Even though you enter into a repayment plan they still have you listed as foreclosure default on your credit report. Secondly you are still in foreclosure default so if don't make payments or have difficulty making payments in the loan mod you go back to square one and they start the foreclosure all over again and this time without warning and only 60 days for sale For those who send payment in good faith but they reject it what they do is not except partial payment. What I mean is say you owe $8000 from back payments but then you are able to make current monthly payments of what you owe. So you send them the correct monthly payment but because of the past amount owed they reject the monthly payment because they want the full amount If you are only 2 months behind they will tell you not to send any payment. Basically they have to get you several months late so they get you into a loan modification plan. Now if you any sort of gov't loan VA or FHA they have to work with you I had a FHA loan and entered into a loan mod with them. What happen was they were good to work with but they only offered me a few options such as repayment which only put me into a greater financial hardship. I come to find out that they should have done a partial claim thru HUD which would have given me a 2nd lien interest free brought my loan current and kept me out of foreclosure default on my credit report This offer was never on the table. If you are potential homeowner shopping for a lender do not use PHH You will regret it in the long run. If you are having problems with payments etc and trying to work with PHH don't sit by idle. Please do your homework. Once again if you have a gov't loan they are required by law to work with you. Contact a housing agency credit counseling agency lawyer etc. Use the internet to research but if you don't taken action and be proactive you will lose in the end. The Gov't knows there's problems in the mortgage lending industry. PHH is one of the bad guy's and eventually they will pay their dues. If there is a law firm out there reading these posts and wants to take on a giant please do so. You will be inidated with consumers signing up in a class action suit against them. I feel all of your sediments in what you are experiencing since I've been there and I wish all you the best of luck in resolving your problems. Just be proactive by Anonymous From Woodburn KY on May 07 2009 We too have been very wronged by this company We are still waiting for a loan mod. to be accepted after submitting our paperwork January 27 2009 when we were only 2 payments behind. We were lied to and told not to make our payments and that everything was going to be o.k. Now it's May 7 2009. House is in forclosure and just got notice last week that they are going to sell at auction. We have two children who are going to have to be uprooted because of their incompetence to help us. Our credit score sucks so bad because of this company that buying is out of the question and there aren't alot of affordable rentals around here. Our whole lives are hanging in the balance and PHH doesn't seem at all to care. Also a few yrs. back my husband's identity got stolen from a man in New Jersey Coincedence I don't think so. It was probably an employee or an ex one from this company I just thought of this when I read the post stating that they can get your personal information Yes everytime I call I get the run around usually from Indians who put me on hold forever. No extension numbers no returned calls no returned emails zero communication. Yes this company is horrible and they need to be prosicuted. We all need to get together and take this company down. by NJ From Trenton NJ on May 04 2009 I have also been trying to get assistance from PHH. I filed my paperwork in February and each time I call it's a different story also. Waiting to see what will come of this. by Anonymous From Stevens Point WI on May 04 2009 8 months ago I asked for them to modify our home loan. Since then I have depleted every source of money avalable to me and have still not heard from them. Each time I call it is a different story. This last time I was told it could take up to a year. A YEAR I don't have an year. Again now they are sending my payments back to me. I can't make this work with them. They are the worst people if you can call them poeople vultures-stop think rent if you have too by Virginia K From Fair Haven MI on May 02 2009 PHH should be investigated by the FBI Seems to be enough ticked off and ripped off consumers here to file a case against them. They are thieves con artists liars and terriorist They miscalculated my payments and tried to prematurely foreclose on my home. I know that they have forged names and falsified documents Anyone here want to start a CLASS ACTION by Anonymous From Jasper GA on April 26 2009 by James From Summersville WV on April 24 2009 I'm trying to buy a foreclosed piece of property in WV. The buyers paid way too much and then forfeited their property. The house also needs repair. How difficult is it to buy property from them under these circumstances. by randy washington From Philadelphia PA on April 23 2009 by Anonymous From Maplewood NJ on April 21 2009 THE WORST BANK EVER ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL LIARS PURCHASE SMOOTHLY - NEED HELP - YOU CAN DROP DEAD THEY ONLY WANT MONEY - COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS ONCE YOU SIGN THOSE DOC'S. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A STORE WITH 50 CHECK OUT LINES AND ONE RETURN LINE WITH A PERSON WHO'S DIZZY AS HECK AND NEEDS APPROVAL FROM 10 PEOPLE BEFORE THEY CAN HELP YOU. THAT'S THEM by Christine Wiatrowski From North Chicago IL on April 14 2009 Nothing but problems from the first time and even worse with my refi last year. I never seem to get a straight answers I'm put on hold forever at the call center once I am finally connected to the right department and I remember how the fees at the closing kept changing until I was actually forced to borrow from a credit card a situation I am still stuck paying off Everytime I call I am so angry and frustraited I lose sleep for days. P.S. Are all mortgage companies like this by Anonymous From Wausau WI on April 12 2009 No customer serice poor communication. by Anonymous From Manteno IL on April 07 2009 Never had a problem yet. Thought I'd get behind in my payment one month they explained some work out situations. I fortunately was able to pay them only 1 month late paid 2 payments and they waived the late fee. I AM VERY HAPPY with the company. I have NO PROBLEM getting anyone on the phone and getting an answer. by Homer From Wausau WI on April 05 2009 I agree with everyone who has had the unfortunate opportunity to deal with a crap hole of a company such as this. I was actually talked into using this company by Williams Realty here in Wausau WI instead of the 2 local banks I had onboard. Not only should there be a class action suit against PHH/Cendant but any real estate company promoting them because they are receiving kickbacks. My experience started before closing. I had everything finalized 2 weeks before closing. The day of closing I receive a call from the closer stating there is a problem and they need more money out of my pocket We closed on time but were faxing and signing paperwork during the closing Several years later I did had to do a loan modification and I do admit back in 2005 they did work with me and I did receive a modification. Now however I was in the last month of repayment which I met every month but I received a letter from HUD indicating that my home was being foreclosed upon due to failure meeting payments I want to know what happened to my payments since everything was wired to them via certified funds as required. I was looking forward to my payments going back to normal. Just like everyone else the only way I was notified was a letter from the local HUD branch itself that it was foreclosing Nothing from PHH Mortgage. Yes TJ in Jackonville FL who works for a miserable company you are a business and there as a business to make money however when you work with government funded loans or backed and insured loans YOUR company has/is fraudlent knowing that they can profit off everyday good people Make all the excuses you want pay your bills buy a cheaper house etc. bull cr*p excuse you want. When your company is finally put out of business and you have no job then you want us to feel compassion for you Too Bad buddy I agree with others not to sit idle but take action and matters into your own hands or one day you will receive a knock on the door. Either do the local court filing Order to Show Case contact your government officials both locally state and federal and contact agencies such as any HUD recognized credit counseling agency that can help you. Any law firm reading these posts please feel free to start a class action suit on our behalf because you will have hundreds if not thousands of people sign on Beware PHH..... by Ricky Landrum From Blytheville AR on April 04 2009 by christina nix From Jasper GA on April 02 2009 by Christa From Jasper GA on April 02 2009 PHH is a rip off. Im not behind on payments but needed to lower my payments due to a loss of a job. YEAH RIGHT. I really would like a class action lawsuit against this company by Anonymous From Dayton OH on April 01 2009 PHH has gone downhill after they started servicing all these other mortgages. They didn't use to be that bad very good actually with good customer service. But I believe what everyone is saying and here is our situation. We have our home financed through PHH and were looking to refinance. So they always tell you to go to your original lender first. They gave us an OK rate but the closing costs were the same as if we were coming in blind from the street and they weren't already servicing our loan. Then the paperwork arrives and errors throughout including instead of our town they list Mount Holly NJ were PHH is located out of Lots of figures not correct and it was like they didn't even listen to our conversation. Here is the real kicker. They hired some drive-by appraisal by some person who just got a licensed and who must work for them. It had even more errors than the loan documents comparing our new home to one that was 25 years old then stating it was 2 years old. We wrote our complaint showed facts and they still won't change the appraisal amount which is lower than what our tax amount is. Our guess is that they do this on purpose to get some kind of kickback from PMI insurance. We cancelled the deal but now are fighting them to get our deposit back. We will be refinancing elsewhere and I now need to go back and make sure they have applied all my additional principal payments right. I also thought they were a good and reputable company but not anymore. by From Anaheim CA on March 26 2009 This company is the worst indeed. I am a realtor in OC and have been representing a seller to shortsale his property through PHH Mortgage the full package was sent back in October and follow ups were made every week unfourtunately i will always get a voicemail and my calls were never return finally the sale date was issued and called the company right away to find out what was going on few days later i get a call from a rep letting me know that the LOAN MOD got denied this was no LOAN MOD THIS WAS A "SHORT SALE" package that was sent to them the package was sitting there for nearly 5 months and never got done until the sale date came around we tried to ask them to extended and all we were told it was against policy ... I have worked shortsales since they came around and i have never came across a company so incompetent and heartless like this people. We now will have another forclosure in the county and most inmportanly a family is getting misplaced this is sad because this owner did the right thing on trying to sell his home before it was taken away but of course for this company is another phone call and that's it. VERY SHAMELESS for coorporations like this this economy is going down to the tubes GOOD JOB ASSHOLES by TJ PHH IN JACKSONVILLE From Jacksonville FL on March 25 2009 well it's going to get worse. you think bush was bad and his spending was horrible. obama has a deficit plan of 3.6 trillion NOT BILLION. TRILLION a year. he'll spend more money in 2 years of being president than bush did his entire presidency....if you voted obama you deserve what happens to you by Anonymous From Carlsbad CA on March 24 2009 They are the worst and most irresponsible business. I have been waiting for 3 months already and they do not respond to my letters faxes e-mails and voice messages. This company shall be closed. by granados From Toledo OH on March 24 2009 Wow Horrific stories At least I know I am not alone. The foreclosure process was started on my home right after I lost my mom and in the middle of a divorce after 29 years of marriage to a man that was unfaithful and using drugs. I was trying to pay all the bills on half the income. I did not know what to do. I was depressed my life was shattered I never thought anything like this would happen to me. I begged for help. PHH personnel said I would have to be no less than two months behind before they would send me any paperwork to modify my loan. It took me a while to gather all of the information in the third month they started foreclosure proceedings. Eventually after numerous phone calls and delayed responses my loan was modified at a cost of over 7000.00 dollars. Even though they did the loan modification the foreclosure is still on my credit report. I can't get a loan to fix the roof the furnace lease a car pay for my daughter's college or pay all the other bills I was advised by PHH to let go until I got my loan modified. Now I am in debt up to my ears can't refinance the house and can't sell it for a price that will satisfy my lenders or pay the 17500.00 I'll owe my ex as part of the divorce settlement. I am back to square one because I still cant afford the house on half the income and now my wages are being garnished for all the other debts that I was forced to let go to save my "priority " my home. So for those of you who work at PHH and felt it necessary to make such negative hurtful comments "buy a cheaper house " read before you sign " etc... about good people who are struggling to deal with more than hard economic times I always say "stuff happens" and "what goes around comes around." God be with you when it comes your way. by Anonymous From Palestine TX on March 18 2009 by TJ from jacksonville PHH From Jacksonville FL on March 09 2009 wow the person who thinks we are owned by citizens isn't very bright. you obviously didn't talk to someone who works for PHH I work for PHH and I know for a fact we are working with people every single day to mitigate/modify their loan. we didn't take a dime of the bailout money. also you people need to keep in mind that you should take a good look at the documents you sign when you get a mortgage. you agree to every single thing that happens on your loan. if you didn't read through it it's your fault also if you can't afford to pay a double payment you can't afford your home. if we ask you for something and you don't get it to us it's not our fault if we give you rules/guidelines to get docs to us and you just do it whenever. your home should be your first priority NOT YOUR LAST if you weren't making your payments as you agreed to YOU DESERVE NOT TO HAVE A HOME by Charles Tina Vermeulen From Avoca MI on March 09 2009 PPH aren't telling the truth. They do act like they are working with you but hold you out They would rather take you thru foreclosure of your home so they get the money thru the insurance that backs the loan. Then when your home goes thru the process of sheriff sale and don't sell it goes back to them for the owner to go thru a redemption of same amount they already got paid thru the PMI The info I got was straight from a inside source that works for PHH The people that work for PHH have been trained well to defraud people out of their homes. We hired New Hope Mod to help us since we were getting pussy footed around from PHH for months. Excuses from PHH are the best ones I ever heard in my life. Anyways these people at PHH put New Hope thru the same bull crap they did with us Come on how many faxes can be passes around and are readable by everyone but PHH What ever guess what PHH I am writing to our President to let him know what your company is doing. This will not be a quiet time for us and I hope others get the same motivation as us and start wrtiting letters. You are a scam PHH you lie to people. Oh so other people reading this know. PHH is actually under Citizens Bank and also under a name of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems INC. here New Hope and us were being led along thinking we were getting a loan mitigation/modification from PHH and in real world we were foreclosed on and home put thru sheriff sale with out being told. A real estete agent shows up at our door telling us and says no one bought it and they were hired by PHH. And we find out after making several phone calls and getting passed around by PHH they told us that Fanny Mae bought our mortgage thru the sheriff sale. So to end the confusion we got copies of the sheriff sale from the county building and find out PHH was not even involved that MERS was the holder. So all in all here is what we were told- Fanny Mae backed the insured amount of our loan PMI PHH are paid for the loan thru that. Then want us to pay more then what our loan was back to them. So they are double dipping the money is that even legal Oh before I forget PHH stole all our escrow monies when they first took over our loan. Said they didn't get them handed over when hired by Citizens Bank. How is that possiable We have all our check studs and argued with them. And all they could say was it was it must of been used by Citizens Bank. We are not going to give into these people and their lies. EXACT WORDS from their inside source were 99% of the banks that are doing the foreclosures because they are guarenteed the loan money wether the sale is completed or not thru the sheriff sales. And that 99% of people are wasting their time trying to do mitigation/modifications cause it dont benifit the banks. All the stimulous money going to the banks should be going directly to the people in trouble lossing their homes or already lost their homes. And for the comment " You should pay your house payment dont blame the bank" LOL How can people make payments that are double of what they were told they would be after signing the contract of the loan Scammers are the worst people and I put them right next to Serial Murderers since they take your life away from you and enjoy it p.s. PHH is avoiding our calls now and wont answer us about the double dipping lying about who has done what ect... by Anonymous From Saint Louis MO on March 05 2009 I gave one of their representatives in California all of our personal information in an attempt to get pre-approved. He ran our credit and replied via e-mail that it looked like we could get a loan. He e-mailed the loan documents. When I e-mailed him with a few questions he got angry and told me to go elsewhere. I have NEVER been treated like that and we have had numerous real estate loans and lenders through the years. by Anonymous From Bridgeton NJ on March 02 2009 by Anonymous From Mill Valley CA on March 02 2009 by Anonymous From Utica MI on February 26 2009 by Anonymous From Chandlersville OH on February 26 2009 by TJ From Jacksonville FL on February 25 2009 I currently work for PHH mortgage and you people are out of your mind. we don't forclose after 30 days also the people trying to call the CEO what do you expect he has more important things to do listen to people complain all day. that's why he employes people for what he calls the Office of the President. also it seems to me that all of the complaints are from people losing their home because they didn't pay their bill. is it our job to pay for your home no it's your job stop making stupid mistakes and try to actually get in a home you can afford. please keep in mind if anybody actually ever called me I would be the best rep they ever spoke to but reading crap like "I hope they go out of business asap" really upsets me. I need a job too people think about that before wishing negative stuff on us. also try to remember we realize that everyone is having issues but we are a business not a charity we will help if we can.

They have tried to steal my home for over a year now. I am still in need of help. They did a loan mod but rolled in 25 000 in fees and my payment is the same Looking for others to start a class action by joann engels from minocua wi Fe. 2009 From Woodruff WI on February 22 2009 My husband and I refinance through our bank Mid Wisconain our home in 2008 and it was sold to PHH now we are going to be late are first time I called Phh for help and they said we could refinance of course at a higher interest rate or be late before they could do anything for us. What are we to do I have read all of the complaints and agree with the majority.I have to wonder if our bank check them out before selling our morgage. by Anonymous From Norwalk CA on February 13 2009 I can relate to the frustrations of all of you. I recall reading a comment from someone stating that we should just 'suck it up' and next time purchase a cheaper home. It is not about owning a cheaper home or a million dollar one Foreclosure fraud is a BIG DEAL They started foreclosure on our home when we were only 30 days behind ILLEGAL. Anyway we got a good attorney and we are winning our case Keep your heads up get an attorney to represent you and file a response and counterclaim to their foreclosure lawsuit and call it a day Don't put up with these ridiculous foreclosure fraud scams Good luck by franklin From Butte MT on February 13 2009 PHH is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. The information is really inconsistent when calling in. I received a new payment book for 2008/2009 that was blank. I called the company to get a new one with information in it. I was told there would be no charge for this since the first one was blank. I did not receive for quite sometime so called back and was told it was mailed and was charged this time. I stated why should there be charge when the information was blank the first time. Rep stated nothing could be done about it. Similar things have happened like this that have been ongoing and I do not recommend this company to anyone. Stay clear..... by Employye who quit after one year From Mount Laurel NJ on February 12 2009 Just something I want to share as an Ex-employee of Cendant/PHH mortgage. When I was working with Cendant/Phh I found it to be a horrificly stressful job. Mandatory overtime was very commonplace instead of increasing the hiring rate. Turnover was heavy for a corporation in my educated guesstimate. Also quotas were enforced in almost all departments Including Loans Originations Appraisal Title Credit etc. Job functions were very redundant super boring because most departments had subdepartments and the best way to learn or defy the boredom factor was to jump to another department. Workforce was comprised mostly of youthful inexperienced people who hopefully learned on the job. Workforce moral was overall low. Imagine going to work logging into a phone this is how your time is managed and paycheck figured out . You have 8 hours - two 15 minute breaks and one half hour lunch. You must log in and out of the phone every time you leave your desk. Break Lunch Bathroom whatever the reason - LOG OUT If you are logged out for too long from your phone - a manager lets you know if it continues you are provided with a warning. Most days I could go the entire 8 hours without a bathroom break or just go on breaks. That wasn't hard for me. BUT I HATED THAT PHONE It was a militaristic type environment but with a negative undertone. My building one of several such was comprised of cubicles packed like a sea of sardines. you could go to work one day and be told you are moving desks but staying in the same department. The reason This was HR's way of detracting complacency and getting people to know each other more. I hated it I wanted to go to work do the best job I could and go home. Not play games with moving my desk every 4-6 months. What kind of mental games would be played by the company regarding employees Competition Which department can stay logged into their phone the most in a day Winner gets a free lunch certificate Lunches were not that great to begin with secondly 5 departments may lose and 1 may win. Guess who wins the most - THE COMPANY BY increasing productivity People knew these games and did not care to play them. Competitions were never ending and uninspirational. As an employee your job never changed much but the games surrounding it always changed from week to week. I hated working there moral was low I just gave up and quit one day - without having a replacement job The worst thing anyone can do with debt/bills to pay. BTW title and appraisal companies hated us Why because we would call them all the time and ask - when is title work gonna be ready - when is the appraisal gonna be ready Note it in the database call again the next day. I would have VA appraisers get very mad at me The government moves at its own pace and a call from joe blow at the mortgage company ain't gonna change anything. One last thing to keep in mind This place has to be the best place in the world to steal personal information. epartment and others had access to Names Addresses Social Security Numbers Loan Amounts Interest Rates Personal Comments regarding client contact Employer name Employer Address Reported Salary on and on. For fun I used to look up sports stars and radio personalities in my area. Just to see what I could dig up. All I had to do was type in a last name or property location - BOOM PERSONAL INFO GALORE even if I was not dealing with the account at the moment. Tons of people had this priviledge. by beck schoessow From Stevens Point WI on February 10 2009 Had a deal with tehm up until 3 days before the sale. 2 of those days were weekends Won t discuss it.

Why do they owe you anything It's not their fault you didn't make your payments. Where does it say they are required to modify your loan or defer payments. Get a grip buy a cheaper house next time so you can afford it. by Anonymous From Lake Arrowhead CA on January 30 2009 Everyone venting here does not help. these letters need to be sent toyour local government and then to our congress and president. every issue with every bank. giving up is not the answer. these are strange times for all of us. very unsure and devistation is happening around all of us. its time to act. every letter you send should be cc'd to the government and if you are only talking on the phone to your bank then make notes and send those again to our government. people get angry and figure they cannot make a difference. you will never know if you don't try and there is more chance to be noticed in larger numbers. this problem is statewide. start voicing your thoughts ti them. demand your government stop this craziness by L Hamilton From Shawnee Mission KS on January 27 2009 I'LL KEEP IT SHORT - DON'T END UP LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THESE COMMENTS - DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH PHH MORTGAGE - RUN THE OTHER WAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. by William Granado From Patterson CA on January 25 2009 They actually advised us to be late in our payments as they couldn't begin the process of helping us until we were at least two months behind now that we are do you think they are helping us NOT...what a nightmare.

Last time I called I was on hold for over 1 hour put through to someones voicemail box and that box was full so I was not even able to leave a message. Though from what I understand through these other posts a message would not have helped. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced. It is not good business to treat customers this way. I understand that they are a business and do not really want to work with anyone who is in financial crisis however there is a way to handle that effectively and this is not it. For example have someone actually answer the phone to tell me that there is nothing they can do. Have a voicemail box or email where you can leave a message to be called back within 48 hours. I think this is reasonable. I call the phone number to Terry Edwards that was provided and got his secretary. I was told he might be in tomorrow. Somehow I doubt that.

I am in the process of trying to keep my home but being a niave first time home buyer I was so excited to get into a house I accepted a loan that was just un-affordable. I was forced to file Chapter 7 and am still struggling trying to make payments. There seems to be no help from PHH - they have been no help at all. by Renae H. From Dubuque IA on January 12 2009 I am so relieved to see that I am not the only person who has been CHEATED by PHH. Everything that has been described here calls not returned being put on hold for 60+ minutes terrible customer service has happened to me. My home is now in foreclosure even tho I had submitted paperwork for a loan modification asking to miss only 2 payments. I have now had to take money from my 401K with an enormous pentalty to reinstate the loan. In all their ineptitude and laziness has cost me over $4 500 in fees and penalties. Oh and how much was I actually behind $1 240 Disgusting. I would definitely join in a class action lawsuit to make this company pay for the terror and emotional stress/anxiety/panic I have experienced at their hands. I have already placed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. If my credit ever recovers from this I will immediately refinance this loan. by Anonymous From Port Charlotte FL on January 07 2009 Ruined our lives.

Their customer service is non-existent. The only people you can ever talk to are $2.00 an hour script readers in India How they stay in business is totally beyond my comprehension. They can't go belly-up soon enough as far as I'm concerned by Oludotun Akinola From Charlottesville VA on December 20 2008 by Anonymous From Mcdonough GA on December 17 2008 PHH is as awful as you read here. While some people are seeking help without recognizing PHH is a business first and not a charity organization many others are bill-paying hard-working gainfully employed credit-worthy Americans who when attempting to do ANYTHING with PHH outside of a regular monthly payment are getting treated like garbage by the reps in India and America. They have some good apples but those are quickly run out of the organization because they are severely overworked and financially penalized for trying to help the customer over the company. It's unfortunate that banks/credit unions with excellent customer service reputations sell their mortgages to a documented unscrupulous company with deplorable customer service like PHH. You have many options please avoid PHH like the plague. ALWAYS KNOW BEFORE CLOSING WHO YOUR LENDER SELLS THEIR LOANS TO. by Sue Heffernan From Roseville MI on December 13 2008 by Anonymous From Bray OK on December 01 2008 My experiences with PHH mMrtgage have rarely been pleasant. Many times throughout the past 10 years I have been treated less than professionally. Now that I am trying to do whatever I can to keep my home- the only home my daughter has ever known I have not been able to speak to the counselor assigned to my account even though I have left messages including contact information. I have only been able to speak to the person who answers for the Loss Mitigation Department who can only give me general information about my account. Although I have submitted and confirmed receipt of a completed workout package the foreclosure process has been filed. I was told that it would take between 30-45 days for an acceptance or decline for any assistance. Unless I am approved for assistance I will lose my home. Even worse is that my home may be sold in a Sheriff's Sale before my paperwork is even reviewed. However I sit on pins and needles daily because I have not been able to get detailed information from my Loss Mitigation Counselor. If ever given the opportunity again to purchase a home I will not use PHH Mortgage Services. by Anonymous From Hinsdale NH on November 21 2008 by Anonymous From Imperial MO on November 21 2008 It seems like noone cares what happens.

If you say you dont want your lendee to lose home then why not take the step to eliminate past debt and keep setting up for failure. by Anonymous From Cleveland TN on November 15 2008 by Anonymous From Huntington TX on November 15 2008 I guess they are only trying to stay in business and pay their bills therefore they must have our monthly payments. But I do know that they are very quick to say Foreclosure each time you are a month late some of us do have accurate reasons to at times get behind but that is why a business and a client must try to work out each situation so that we all will then survive. I only wish they would reevaluate the process they use on seeing if they are willing to help in times of need because LIFE happens and we do not have control of certain reasons we do not have the payments on time and they should come up with a faster way to help keep their home owners in the homes and not be so quick to Foreclose. I pray that I get to keep my home and one day pay the Last note to them. Times a by AJ Pappalardo From Havertown PA on November 12 2008 I am facing foreclosure and thaks to a back injury that kept me out of work for 4 months I fell behind on payments.

To this day I still have not received a call back. I am 27 years old and have a 2 year old son who I take care of by myself. You would think a company would care I also have tried making payments and partial payments but if you dont have the entire amount they don't want your money. Can someone tell me how that makes ANY SENSE You try to pay and they say no but the idiots will foreclose on a property. NEWS FLASH to anyone from PHH reading this....

GIVE PEOPLE A BREAK AND WORK WITH THEM by Abrahman Ibrahim From Pitman NJ on November 12 2008 I LOVE PHH - if you understand the mortgage business you should have no problem.

The company wouldn't talk to the realtor and filed foreclosure proceedings. by Anonymous From Terre Haute IN on November 06 2008 PHH transfered our loan to an attorney after two nonconsecutive missed payments. They refused to talk to us and refused payment of the two payments we were actually behind. Once you are a single payment behind they shut you out of online payments. Their attorney refused us information about what we owed saying they had to get that information from PHH giving them time to pursue foreclosure and add over $2000 in fees. by Anonymous From Winchester CA on October 30 2008 Customer service is terrible.

I explained the situation and they sent a packet of forms for me to complete and get back to them. I completed and faxed in along with bank statements and employer letters. After a couple of weeks I received a call informing me that I didn't make enough money to be approved for any type of program.

Terrible service no body knows anything. Transfered from one person to another. Still trying to get them to update our credit report for a loan that was paid off 2 years ago. Would not send ANYONE to them. Could get out from under them fast enough by 88keys From Grayville IL on September 29 2008 Though my mortgage is with my local bank the actual servicing is done through PHH. Love my bank Integra HATE PHH. We had a problem with a shortage in our escrow account not PHH's fault . I have called three different times in the last couple of months trying to find out how much I owe and if my payment amount will go down after the shortage is covered. I have received three different answers. I used to work in customer service myself so I recognize incompetence when I see it Their representatives seem to be very poorly trained on the product they are servicing. Avoid this company at all costs if you can by struggling in mich From Romeo MI on September 29 2008 phh does not seem to care after leading us to believe they wanted to work with us in a loan modification. they avoided my calls never returned them until i finally e-mailed one of the counselors on our case. he had no clue wanted us to fill out another financial statement even after every rep told us it was complete and just waiting a decision. well their decision was to significantly raise our monthly payments. the house is worth much less than what we owe and they seem to want it to go to foreclsoure waiting three months and now it's in auction sale. i screwed up but followed their recommendations and they wasted our time. i believe phh is crooked. by Mike M. From Gautier MS on September 20 2008 My Wife and I bought our home in SEP 1999 through USAA as we were very happy with their services. At the closing we found out that the loan was being serviced by PHH/Cendant and it was explained to us that they were part of the USAA family. After closing we found out that the mortgage had been sold to PHH and has nothing at all to do with USAA. PHH has been nothing short of abysmal to deal with. We have never been late with a payment nor have there been any issues that should cause trouble. But every year our escrow "comes up Short" and the payment has to be raised Every time this comes about we get a notice that if we pay the shortage the monthly payment will not increase. My advice to you is don't bother the payment goes up any way and they always have an explanation. "Your taxes went up" or "Your insurance went up". I keep copies of my insurance statements and tax statements and I have never had an increase of more than $200.00 total yet my excrow is always about $800.00 short even when we pay the supposed shortage "up front". When they are questioned about this they get vague and put you on hold for an hour. Recently our home was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina and unfortuately we had "insurance issues" the insurance would only cover about half the damage and that is still in litigation. we ended up going about 70 thousand in debt to fix the home because the insurance check was made out to us and PHH and they refused to disburse funds for nearly a year. Of course i shouldn't be too harsh they were merely "making sure I spent the proceeds wisely" It took a trip to the attorney to finally get our insurance settlement from them. No telling how much they made in interest of holding our money. I finally finished the home about a month ago. We had also applied for several home owners grants from The federal govt and the state. We were turned down not because we didn't qualify but because PHH refused to return required documentation. We sent the material to them overnight mail Return reciept requested and have signatures for every time we sent them paperwork yet everytime they either mysteriously "misplaced it" or "never recieved it" even though we have signed reciepts from them everytime mail was delivered to them. Recently we finally did qualify for a grant for about eight thousand whcih still leaves us 62 000 out of pocket. one small problem the state made the grant check out to us and PHH mortgage so I figure it will be months before we get the money or the check back. Will keep you posted. My advice never do business with this company they are incompetent at best and incapable of doing business in an orderly manner otherwise they are decietful and defrauding thousands of customes a little at a time. Thank God We have excellent credit and could finance much of the repairs ourselves and through our Credit union. As soon as I get some of the remaining debt paid down I will be refinancing my loan through the credit union and will never under anycircumstances do business with this miserable company again by Anonymous From Altoona IA on September 19 2008 by MJ From Holland MI on September 17 2008 Just waiting and more waiting. The government is bailing all of these institutions out using our money and they just sit there and make us suffer. Unbelievalbe.They all lie and tell you that you need to be upfront with the banks and they will work with you. NOT TRUE. You can call and call and call and call with no response from them. I want a jury trial when they try to make me pay any difference owed after a foreclosure sale. The FBI should be involved in this banks practices. In case you can't figure out where we stand on this companies reputation let me just spell it out. PHH STINKS. by L McCulloch From Dyersburg TN on September 11 2008 My husband Mike McCulloch and I have done everything humanly possible to maintain the mortgage on the property I own - or is that did own - at 708 East High Street in Union City Tn. In 2007 our business sustained a huge loss $150 000.00 and we have been struggling every since while awaiting the outcome of a lawsuit we have filed in an effort to regain a portion if not all of our loss. After receiving correspondence offering the option of reducing the monthly payment on this property my husband Mike McCulloch filled out the necessary documents and faxed them in May of 2008. While we waited for a response I received a notice saying I was facing foreclosure on the property in question. Stunned we contacted PHH and were told that the documents we faxed had been misplaced and we needed to send them again I was not being foreclosed on computer generated mail etc....This all occurred in early July after numerous phone calls had been made by us in an attempt to get a status report or some type of response to the information we had sent in May. At that time my husband offered to make the two payments owed but was told they would not be accepted because we were 60 days delinquent. Which we wouldn’t have been if anyone had ever told us that the original set of documents had been lost. The only answer we ever received was that “They were working on it.” “It” being the refinance of the property based on what was owed. Finally we were told that the information we sent in May was no where to be found and we would need to send it all again but “not to worry” it was noted on my file that all the errors had occurred and there would be a speedy conclusion to the re-financing and all would be well. We received a new set of documents to fill out did so and faxed them again. These were received by PHH on August 10 2008. Since I had continued to receive letters from an attorney concerning a possible foreclosure I was skeptical that PHH had any idea what was going on but continued to hope that all would be well. Surprise - I get registered mail stating that my property is going to be advertised in the local paper as a foreclosure offered for sale on August 27 2008. After contacting the lawyer I was assured that nothing concerning the refinancing option had moved forward as the documents were again laying on someone’s desk but if my husband provided a certified check for $2100.00 by Friday 8/29 and paid $1300.00 for the next nine months we could reinstate the mortgage but nothing could be done to stop the notice appearing in the paper. I was then contacted by Genworth Financial who I believe holds the mortgage insurance policy on the house. In conversation with Genworth it was noted that they Genworth showed that the documents we said we had submitted in May had indeed been submitted. Why PHH had no record of this now or had done nothing with them was a question they could not answer. Furthermore Genworth had a record that we had attempted to make the two payments and those payments were declined. Genworth also noted that we had resubmitted the documents necessary to refinance what I owed on the property. This was the most amazing fact though – Genworth had no documentation concerning a foreclosure. They were somewhat surprised. I discussed the situation thoroughly with Genworth and was very impressed with the documentation they were able to provide along with their genuine concern over what had transpired. In what has to be the most bizarre turn of events PHH contacted my husband yesterday via his cell phone – September 10 2008 – and wanted some information from him so that the documents we had resubmitted in August could be completed and a decision reached. This is after the property has been advertised for public sale in the newspaper on August 27 September 3 and September 10. He was fairly amused as was I. Those documents were received by PHH on August 10 2008. Why in the world did it take over a month for someone to decide that further information was needed He lost the call while crossing the Mississippi River Bridge and called back three times leaving messages each time. No one has called him back – I would imagine that whoever he was speaking with heaved a sigh of relief thinking he had hung up on them. To say that my husband speaks his mind would be an understatement and he really has very little use for PHH at this point I did my part by contacting Genworth this morning to confirm the information I had already received from them – which I did. I should also note that Genworth confirmed that PHH received our resubmitted documents on August 10 but did not begin processing them until September 4. The lady I spoke with did seem very concerned that this had been handled so poorly and that there had been such a lack of timely information and communication on the part of PHH. I will forward all documentation of this nightmare to our attorney. In the conversation my husband had with a PHH representative yesterday it was pointed out to him that we would be responsible for all legal charges concerning this foreclosure proceeding. In the event that these charges are billed to me I will use every means at my disposal to protest paying them. This situation did not come about because we were unwilling to make the necessary payments. It came about through error and lack of attention on the part of PHH. I am a Realtor and I can assure you that I have spent a great deal of time trying to sell the property in question. It is not our primary residence and I have rented it off and on for the past four years. I paid the increased insurance premiums necessary. Even though we were not living in the property we had worked diligently to make the payments and “do the right thing” since I had been unable to sell the house. I hoped to eventually be able to sell the house and at the least recoup my $15 000.00 down payment. The housing market in Northwest Tennessee is poor and the chances of the property selling in the next six months are slim. Union City where the property is located is a very small town and any hope of selling the property for what I owe on it evaporated when the foreclosure notice came out in the paper. I have handled short sales REO properties and any other type of real estate sale you can imagine so I feel that I am qualified to say that this mess is not going to turn out well for anyone involved. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish we had never attempted to re-finance the balance of the mortgage and had just kept making the original payment. In an effort to help our cash flow and remain in good standing with PHH we trusted in the abilities of PHH employees to see to our best interests. Our trust was misplaced and misused. Thank you for your time Laura J. McCulloch McCulloch and Sons Farms Farming without interruption in Dyer County since 1824 “Godspeed the plough Long life and Success to the Farmer.” by Bob From Shelbyville TN on September 01 2008 I am very suspect of this company. When we found out that we did not have to pay city taxes and got that taken off the monthly bill they "magically" raised the escrow amount to compensate claiming they had underestiamted the taxes go figure One thing is for sure- the worst communication and customer service ever by chuck From Romeo MI on August 29 2008 it's funny how the canned pros are writting by this company. the real ones are negative. why would happy customers go to a blog and bash. phh is really bad news. they have lousy customer support and they are stalling on my loan modification. they ignore my calls and some reps are total assholes. they seem to want this place to foreclose and keep pushing me into a short sale rather than restructuring the loan. i will never go with them again. by anon From Oradell NJ on August 18 2008 PHH Mortgage is the worst mortgage company ever. They do not return calls or emails. Tried to work with them their lack of communication with me resulted in them going ahead and starting foreclosure proceedings.. Had we actually spoke I feel we could have worked this out. I'm willing to bet the majority of foreclosures in the US are a direct result of PHH Mortgage not getting back to homeowners and posting thier checks in a timely manner. Their Loss Mitagation Department is a huge joke. I suggest you get an operator and hang on the line until you speak with a HUMAN. Do NOT let them throw you into a voicemailbox- they are usually full anyway. Average wait on a phone call is 60-90 minutes. Good Luck Everyon by cheryl From Huntington Beach CA on August 12 2008 Every company is great until you have trouble making the payment. Then you see the true company. PHH you lead people on to believe they have a chance at loan modification but do they really or is this a step to buy you time for foreclosure.If these were comments about my companies sevices I'd be ashamed. Quit selling the loans for 50 cents on the dollar to foreign investors and let Americans work out the same deal. by Anonymous From Providence RI on August 08 2008 I have called them several times on the phone and have waited 45 minutes to an hour and a half for a representative to answer the call only to be told if you cant afford the mtg then foreclose the home. I feel they should have been a bit more sensitive to this issue since the outcome effects the whole country.I am willing to try to work out a lesser payment plan to keep my home. by Gwen Humphreys From Hatboro PA on August 06 2008 by Anonymous From Bluffton SC on July 31 2008 This company should be folded. Its employees provide no information when you call refer you to voice mails and intentionally make it difficult to find out your loan status. My personal experiences include continuos loss of payments they claim not to have received - I am constanty forwarding Proof of Electronic Payment to prove I have made payments.I have had my payments continuously raised without any notification. I receive foreclosure notifications frequently but whenever I call to identify which payments are due I am told they do not have my file available but they will research it for me. I never have phone calls returned and in general find this company to be toally aginst the homeowner. by Amy Jones From Deer Park TX on July 29 2008 by Anonymous From Katy TX on July 26 2008 by Anonymous From Vail AZ on July 24 2008 They raised my payment without notice. The customer service line need to be open on Sat. I live in the west cost which mean they close at 5 i work until 6. Will not recommend them. by Anonymous From Dunkirk NY on July 24 2008 by Big T From Los Angeles CA on July 23 2008 I have had a decent product from them for about 3 years now. I cannot complain. I have had no reason to have to call them but I like the rates. I AM however worried that if they lent to a lot of folks that cannot afford the product I am going to be fucked by a corporation that lent indiscriminately and is going to leave my wife and I with the bag to hold. by Anonymous From Valparaiso IN on July 19 2008 They raised my payment without notice and when I tried to go online for their website 300 things come up except theirs Ugh by Max From Cedar Rapids IA on July 08 2008 I went to a local credit union for my mortgage to get "local" service. They immediately sold my mortgage to PHH and it has been a nightmare ever since. It's hard to reach anyone on the phone and when you do they are very rude and inpatient. I purchased my house well below what is worth and also made major improvements over the last two years. I called to get my rediculously high PMI dropped because the loan to value ration HAS to be well over 20% now. When I asked about getting it taken off they told me that I could not remove it because the only way to reach the 20% was either by paying it off to that point or by adding square footage to the house I was furious I made major kitchen and bathroom rennovations which drastically improved the value of my house but they claim I have to add an addition to the house in order for it to be worth more It's worth the fees to go refinanace through another lender just so I don't have to deal with them any longer. by Anonymous From Grandview MO on July 02 2008 by Anonymous From Opelika AL on July 02 2008 by private From Clifton Park NY on July 02 2008 This mortgage company has been involved with predatory lending however until now they have not been caught. Now PHH has lawsuits against brokers like they did not know what they were doing.... It's ok though I've got all the information I need to bring them down. It's funny how they never have any phone numbers to their legal dept. until you tell the customer service rep that your are not hanging up until you have that number not the address but the number. This company is nuts to think that they are going to get away with doing this to people by frank hawkins From Monticello AR on June 30 2008 PHH staff is very rude and not very helpful at all. We have asked to speak with someone who might could help us but would not allow us to they would hang up. Would not recommend to anyone. by Anonymous From Clover SC on June 25 2008 by Anonymous From Corona CA on June 22 2008 by Anonymous From Whitwell TN on June 06 2008 My husband and I have been with PHH since 1996 and we really liked the company at first. But over the last few years we have really been struggling to make our mortgage payments in a timely manner. I have some health problems and don't get to work as much as I need to so the decrease in income has really hurt us financially especially now with gas and food prices skyrocketing. We have been 2 months behind several times over the last couple of years and every time we call to try and pay 1 payment they refuse to take it until we have the amount for 2 payments. This is ridiculous It seems that if they were concerned with getting payments any amount would be accepted even partial payments. But unfortunately they do not work this way. And it is really sad and really pathetic that hard working and honest people can lose their homes because of such lousy service. This is a serious thing and needs to be addressed by the government or something. It is so scary to think that we may lose our home b/c we have NO WHERE else to go because they refuse to help us. We have tried several times to get our payments reduced for a while until we could get back on our feet so to speak and they told us they would help us but it took months and months for them to get back with us only to be denied anyway. We would love to refinance our home with some other lender but our credit rate is so horrible b/c of this company that we are unable to get refinanced. And last year my husband's truck tore up on his way to work and we had to use almost our entire mortgage payment that month so we could repair his truck b/c he HAD to have transportation back forth to work so he called the mortgage center and the lady he spoke to was VERY RUDE to him. He explained what happened and that we would pay the payment within the next 2 weeks and she got really nasty with him and told him that "we should be responsible enough adults to have money saved away for such emergencies that our mortgage payment was the first and foremost thing we should be worried about paying. And that we needed to learn how to save money for all the other things we needed or that came up." And she acted like we were just horrible people b/c we didn't have enough money in our savings to pay our house payment. I really would NOT suggest this company to anyone They are not a company that has the consumer's best interest at heart It's very frustrating ans so sad by jason hopper From Rome GA on June 01 2008 by Anonymous From California MD on May 26 2008 I was given no notice in reference to PHH Mortgage sending my loan case to a forclosure attourney. No phone call and no mail corespondance. They agree to help at first then say there's nothing they can do. I explained my hardship and promised to do everything in my power and all they did was refuse any payment less than the past due two months . by Anonymous From Milford CT on May 24 2008 I have tried to pay my mortgage for 4 weeks and have a problem with their website. I have repeatedly tried to contact PHH it is no use. I am a paying mortgage customer you would think that they would want to contact me so that I can pay. I question the SECURITY of their website. THE SERVICE IS LOUSY by AP From Rutherford NJ on May 20 2008 I got a stated Interest only 80/20 loan about three years ago where the Spanish rep and their local advisor made up my income. They pushed me into the interest only loan and told me not to worry. My interest rate has gone up my taxes have gone up and also my insurance. I no longer can afford my loan but he had said I could refinance into a better loan in a few years. Now they say they can no longer offer me a stated loan. They are crooks and should be fined by the government. by Anonymous From Westerly RI on May 16 2008 DOES NOT WORK WITH A TIMELY MANNER DOES NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS.TOTALLY ignors time limits and puts blame on consumer by Anonymous From Tucson AZ on May 09 2008 Their communications and correspondence is horendous.

We have several children and we are very concerned. We have called this company several times to work something out and they will not budge.

I NEED MY MONEY BACK AND MY BLUEPRINT MD by Carmen Pyle From Atlanta TX on April 25 2008 by Mike From Mount Laurel NJ on April 01 2008 In 1/2006 I was placed in a mortgage that I shouldn't have been in. Being a naive home buyer I let the mortgage rep handle everything. After 10 months into the mortgage we had to file Ch. 13. My credit score was 700 and God only knows what it is now - I'm afraid to look. I had contacted PHH numerous times to see if they could do a forbearance or loan modification. They couldn't. So here it is 4/2008 and we decided to walk away from this upside down mess and stick it right back to PHH.....Thanks for all your help J.O.s by Kobie Johnson From Indianapolis IN on March 20 2008 by D Boudreau From Bloomington IN on March 12 2008 Have had my loans two years and am wondering when I mail my payments why it takes 10+ days for pymt to be applied. I only live 150 miles from payment center and know it does not take 10 days for mail to arrive from IN to IL. Have called numerously they tell me pymt must be lost I send another check and then it's a miracle they find my first check so two pymts get processed in 30 days. I call and complain about their slow processing time of payments and tell me they'll remove the late fees but never have. by Jason Paulick From Pompano Beach FL on March 10 2008 I received an insurance check from Citizens of Florida after a huricanne caused major damage to my home in 2005. The policy is that PHH my mortgage holder gets the check and gives it to me when work is being done on my home. It is a catch 22 situation because I need money for a down payment and PHH would not release money until a third of the work was done Twoo years later and my house is not done and PHH wont release the money owed to me until their inspector sees that three fourths of it is done DUH by Maria Albus From Beallsville OH on March 01 2008 They said they would work with me but I explained my situation with my medical bills and all and they still thought I should have money saved up to pay them a large amount right away. The lady I spoke to was not very friendly and even though she was only doing her job I believe she could have had a little more understanding and compassion. by Deborah Zucker From Long Beach NY on February 22 2008 poor disclosure of penalties and fines. Unwillingness to work with me. Why would someone put in a hardship request if they are able to pay apparently that is the requirement one must meet in order to qualify for assistance.You can't make this stuff up. by Anonymous From Brookston IN on February 16 2008 I feel that they are very poor on returning calls and trying to get a hold of. They talked to you like you are trash even when you are in good standing with them They don't return emails either. And you can't get any info from them at all. by Anonymous From Saint Louis MO on February 14 2008 They act like they really dont care and would love to put my home in foreclosure. I am falling more and more behind while they sleep on my paperwork. They are rude and not very compassionate. They are very shady about what the next steps should be also. Who to call Very inconsistent letters are sent to me also. by L.A. Hamilton From Stacy MN on February 07 2008 I have been trying to work out a solution with PHH Mortgage-loss mitigation- on a default for over FIVE months now. They sit on the requests and don't respond. They are rude on the phone and if you don't have an extension number when you call you end up talking to Bombay India. I believe their solution is attempted intimidation. Remember folks you cannot get blood from a turnip I would NEVER recommend anyone use PHH. If you ever have a problem you will be in for alot of serious frustration with this company. by felicia springs lanier From Charlotte NC on January 28 2008 by Anonymous From North Brunswick NJ on December 13 2007 Inconsistent information. They tell you they will send information and then they don't. We call back and they tell us the person who informed us..informed us incorrectly.
