PENNY MAC SUCKS!!!!! Have had increases due to taxes 3 years in a row...which NEVER happened when I was with Rocket Mortgage (for over 10 years!). Most recent increase was $200/month. It's always due to "taxes", but their record keeping is deplorable. Have tried multiple times to create an online account via the PennyMac website, but keep getting error messages. They're "customer service" is literally non-existent. HORRIBLE COMPANY. DON'T WALK...RUN AWAY FROM THIS MORTGAGE COMPANY!!!

Poor Customer Service & online experience It's difficult, to say the least, to get a real person via phone. A customer is encouraged to do everything via their online system but that system is pretty bad. I've submitted messages that don't get read. For example, I recently changed homeowners insurance and had to go through the online system to update my insurance info. The 'people' receiving my info don't seem to understand insurance, and because there was question about the coverage rather than pick up the phone and call me, they mailed letters asking me to upload my new insurance over and over again. Then they applied their own insurance because the question hadn't been answered, even though I had answered the very simple question and submitted documentation. A person with just a little bit of knowledge could have solved the issue by either picking up the phone or answering my online messages. It's almost like there are no humans working there.

Good luck getting your escrow refund. Pennymac erroneously paid property taxes from escrow on a mortgage that had been satisfied back in mid-December. We have still not received the refund even after multiple contacts. They have kept/used our money for 3 months and it's still sitting in the escrow account. I would suggest telling your lender to absolutely not sell your mortgage to these crooks.

My experience was great My experience was great! The entire team was knowledgeable, prompt with information and responses. Chris reached out every step of the way to communicate what needed to be done and answer any questions. Process went smoothly and quickly, closed early within a few weeks and am highly satisfied. Use Pennymac for your mortgage/re-finance needs!

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!!!
