Consumer Narrative
This complaint is on PHH Mortgage, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX, XXXX My husband and I bought our home with XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. The initial flood map was looked at by XXXX XXXX and deemed in the flood zone, after our loan officer and our realtor pushed back on the first determination, we were then granted a Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form ( SFHDF ) from the Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency that stated our home was not in a special flood hazard area. It was dated XX/XX/XXXX and was prepared by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. We did not purchase flood insurance and we did not have to obtain flood insurance per the terms of our loan that we closed with XXXX XXXX Our mortgage was then sold to PHH Mortgage. In XXXX and XXXX we received letters from PHH that stated we needed to provide flood insurance, or that is was required on our property. If we did not provide proof of flood insurance, PHH would obtain coverage on our behalf and add it to the terms of our loan, without our consent or signatures. We emailed a copy of the SFHDF to PHH, we sent a copy of the SFHDF via USPS mail as well as uploaded a copy of the SFHDF to their website. None of these copies were acknowledged or replied to by PHH. Mind you, they also have this documentation with our mortgage documents when they purchased our loan from XXXX XXXX. At this point, we have exhausted talking to or emailing PHH Insurance Department and we are completely flabbergasted that while we were not required to have flood insurance on our home in order to purchase and sign the mortgage with out possessing flood insurance, and we have a SFHDF that has been officially determined that we are not in the flood zone, then loan was then sold to PHH for servicing and they took it upon themselves to rewrite the terms of our loan. From our research they are in violation of the Mortgage Regulation H because they are not accepting the previous flood determination from our original loan closed by XXXX XXXX, and they are also breaking the servicing laws by illegally changing the terms of our original loan.
