I submitted a complaint to the CFBP back in early XX/XX/XXXX hoping it would quickly resolve the issue ( see Complaint XXXX ). This is an on going issue dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. It has NOT been resolved and now going on XX/XX/XXXX. I have placed five ( 5 ) calls into the company since the closing on the last complaint in hope to resolve. This is in addition to the nearly countless calls over the last six ( 6 ) months. SLS claims to have a " proven track record of setting the standard for Customer Care ''. I find that to be a gross misstatement and would further recommend the various government agencies ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FHA, GNMA, XXXX & VA ) review their practices and prevent further issues before any contract servicing extensions are granted. 

I will restate the original complaint below. 

Due to the increase in local home prices, we are wanting to have our PMI ( private mortgage insurance ) removed from our mortgage. After hearing numerous local reports of increased values, speaking with realtors, and neighbors ( who SOLD their homes/not simply list ), along with the increased tax value from the county assessor, it is very clear that our home value has risen to a level that it exceeds the 80 % threshold for PMI removal. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Specialized Loan Servicing. I explained the increase in values and asked what was needed to start the PMI removal process. They indicated to mail them a signed letter requesting PMI be removed from our account. We mailed a letter same day. A few weeks later, we received a letter in the mail stating that our current loan value was ~90 % and that we did not qualify for PMI removal. This value based off our homes original assessed value, not the it 's current increased value. If we disputed the current value, the lender asked that we sign the included form to have a full house appraisal completed. We did so and mailed this form back. It was extremely clear that the mortgage lender would request a FULL appraisal. Over 6 weeks pass by with no response from the lender. I contacted them in early XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the status of our full appraisal. The representative stated it was received and to call back in one week. I did so. I was then told the previous representative was incorrect, that it would not be completed until the end of XX/XX/XXXX. OnXX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail from the lender stating that our home value had not increased at all and the current loan value remained unchanged at ~91 %. The included a single page document, known as a broker 's price opinion. This letter also included the same exact form we signed in XX/XX/XXXX stating we disputed the current value, the lender asked that we sign the included form to have a full house appraisal completed. The broker 's price opinion is NOT a full and proper home appraisal. I contacted the lender to discuss. I was told this decision was final despite them inaccurately valuing my home and not ordering a full appraisal, despite specifically requesting one. 

After the original CFBP complaint, I received a notification that the appraisal would be ordered. I was contacted by a local company and setup the inspection for XX/XX/XXXX. At the  completion of the inspection, the representative stated SLS would have the detailed report within 3-4 business days ( at the latest ). I have called numerous times post inspection to inquire about the status of the report. All agents have given different answers ( and excuses ) to why the report was not completed and the PMI not yet removed.
