Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I was refinancing my house. I had a loan through Penny Mac. My new mortgage company XXXX XXXX XXXX and title insurance Company XXXX XXXX XXXX reached out to Penny Mac to get the pay off amount for the loan. A few days after this number was discussed, Penny Mac sent a check to FEMA on my behalf. This changed pay off numbers. The refinance happened and around XXXX XXXX, Penny Mac reached out to XXXX XXXX about the discrepancy. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX XXXX because I had received a notice from Penny Mac that my mortgage was late. I have since received a check from FEMA that my account was paid in error. I am trying to resolve this issue, but have been given XXXX different amounts from Penny Mac as to what I owe. I am completely confused as to how a company can have so many different numbers as a balance on my account. I am willing to pay the amount that they paid extra to my escrow to FEMA but I do not feel liable for the interested and added fees that are added on to this account. I keep being told that someone will return my call but each time it is at least 2 days not the 1 promised. 
I am a XXXX military member and I have a title insurance company helping me out. I can not imagine the stress this would put on someone else in my situation. I have XXXX XXXX and the stress of this is causing me physical pain. I would love this issues addressed quickly and with no further confusion. I would also love for someone to look into the constantly changing numbers on my bill. It was {$1000.00}, {$1300.00} ( I scratched this one out in my notes so it might be off ), and {$1700.00} all in a 20 minute phone cal on XX/XX/XXXX. The first letter I have says {$1600.00} and the second one {$820.00}. The phone call on XX/XX/XXXX said {$1500.00} and the final call today stated {$1500.00}. This last amount was also included in an email and an hour later they decided they could be gracious and knock {$100.00} off since I was concerned. 
I know you are n't supposed to mention feelings in a business letter, but I feel like this is one big joke. Penny Mac paid FEMA despite not having to. Penny Mac waited over a week to address the issue with XXXX XXXX who sent the money. Penny Mac waited 2 weeks to reach out to me. How is this my almost {$2000.00} mistake? Penny Mac is a big corporation and it would say much more about their character if they could XXXX lose on a mistake they made. It makes me curious how many thousands of dollars in their income is due to problems they caused but would not own up to. I work hard for my money both my military pension and what I get from working in XXXX and I do n't have {$1700.00} to hand over due to a clerical error on the part of a huge corporation!
