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.

Pennymac failed to pay land taxes… Pennymac failed to pay land taxes resulting in a lien being placed on our property. The customer service was worse than useless. Do not use.

Be careful Pennymac pulled my mortgage 2x in August (30 and 31) and I am struggling to get a return their in a timely fashion. This is my VA money. I have been asking for my money back and have been getting the run around. And them dragging their feet. Now they’re saying 14 business days!! This is completely unacceptable and causing excessive financial strain on my family and myself.

They paid the wrong insurance carrier… They paid the wrong insurance carrier (Orion180) after we had switched to another carrier, whom they also paid, and now want to double my monthly payment due to Escrow shortage. Uh, nope, you guys paid Two(2) policies. I have spent way too much time trying to get this resolved after more than a month of trying. Trying to get resolution is almost impossible because it's almost impossible to talk to a live person. Looking to refinance at this point.

RE-Fi to save $300 a month went easy… RE-Fi to save $300 a month went easy and fast closing! I have an FHA loan with unfortunate built-in PMI at around $400+ cost a month, which remains until I sell my home as this current RE-FI could not change since my income did not allow a change from FHA to conventional. Good experience all around with PennyMac.
