Complaint:
PHH Mortgage Servicing Account Number : XXXX On XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I called and spoke with XXXX from PHH Mortgage Services. I requested an extension to my current forbearance plan which was expiring. XXXX, based in XXXX, said yes, that would be no problem and I am eligible for another forbearance plan. XXXX also said that I would be receiving a confirmation letter TEMPORARY HARDSHIP FORBEARANCE PLAN AGREEMENT in the mail and in my Document Center in the PHH portal. That no late fees would be charged and I would not be reported the the credit bureaus as late. 

I never received the confirmation letter so I called back on XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX in the PHH Customer Care Center in XXXX, she said that XXXX told me that I was eligible but actually I am not. I was charged a late fee for missing the XXXX XXXX payment which was reversed at my request. 

On XXXX XXXX, I scheduled an appointment with my Relationship Manager, XXXX XXXX, for today XX/XX/XXXX ( which was the earliest PHH had available ). 

On XXXX XXXX I received an email reminding my of my appointment confirming I will be called at XXXX which is the correct number.

XXXX told me that PHH tried calling 3 times to these numbers : XXXX XXXX XXXX transferred me to XXXX, Agent ID : XXXX, the " Floor Manager '' of all Relationship Managers. 

I explained to XXXX the situation above and XXXX said that at any time I want to speak with a Relationship Manager I can, however when I spoke with XXXX on XXXX XXXX, she said the ONLY way I could speak with a Relationship Manager was to schedule an appointment.
