Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: SCHOOLSFIRST FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I asked the lender mid XX/XX/year> to cancel PMI. I got two communication letters on end of XXXX and early XXXX on instructions and options to cancel PMI. I submitted requested appraisal check and written request to them by mid XX/XX/year> and followed up by calls and online chat systems several times since. Every time I follow up with them I get a new date that is pushed back by few weeks. In my last comm with them they say a decision is expected by end of XXXX. This is despite the fastest option I chose for appraisal ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I am not sure now even if they are going to stick to the latest due date they provided and meanwhile keep charging me for PMI. The issuance of a brand new mortgage took less than 30 days from the lender but removing a PMI is taking close to 3 months. How that makes sense?

I called Pendrick Capital Partners LLC on XX/XX/XXXX To get more info on all my supposed debt accounts with them. I spoke on the phone on the same day with XXXX at XXXX.

I had previously sent in a complaint about them not being able to verify a bill because I was told they didnt have it, and the same was said with XXXX XXXX XXXX told me on the phone they wouldnt have it, XXXX would.
