There is no way to make a payment… There is no way to make a payment "after hours" by phone. Or without chatting with them. This is ridiculous. There should be multiple ways to PAY anyway and how that a customer can. The number 888 870 229 has no evening access and the other phone number loops gives no option to make a payment only info. I guess this multi-million-dollar company is too cheap to make itself accessible, not everyone is happy with ONLINE payments! I guess the other option is that they WANT customers to have difficulty paying---that much seems to be true.

From commencement to final signature on… From commencement to final signature on closing documents, every question was answered promptly and thoroughly! Each step was clearly explained and all of the financials were intensively clarified, even if they had to be repeated to me! Each progression of the process was detailed in the many emails guiding me. It has taken less than two weeks from my initial query to closing! Now that's a truly amazing experience! Need I say more?

Messy and unprofessional Awful experience with PennyMac. First, the company failed to pay my homeowners insurance this past year, no reason, no explanation, same mortgage and insurance for years, PennyMac just never sent payment and suddenly I wasn't insured. Then I'd started the process of acquiring a PennyMac home equity loan, was more than qualified, submitted all requested documents, and then each day, the processor wanted one more thing, two more things, all the requests were in writing, often indecipherable, often reflective of documents I'd already submitted. The loan agents didn't seem in touch with the processors, and would then explain what they thought the processors meant, it was all messy and unprofessional. I'm now taking my entire mortgage elsewhere, which will be a little expensive but worth it to be finished with PennyMac.

Horrible mortgage company Horrible mortgage company. My monthly payment has increased twice since they bought my mortgage. They are now citing the increase due to a "shortage" account. Neither my insurance or taxes have increased, yet I am now paying over $500 more per month than when I started. What's more is they failed to pay my homeowner's insurance on time, and it wound up getting cancelled. They finally paid it a few months later. Avoid PennyMac at all costs!!!
