PennyMac Loan Services, LLC Mortgage Complaint

I previously filed a complaint against PennyMac Mortgage ( Case number : - ) that was never resolved by the cfpb. The complaint then and now, is that the lender is taking advantage of consumers who enroll in the PennyMac Autopay Biweekly payment program and unfairly NOT reducing the principle balance of mortgages when the biweekly payment is received. The attached payment history clearly shows that biweekly payments are received, but the principle balance is not reduced at all until the end of the month. Meaning that consumers are unfairly paying interest on the incorrect 'higher ' principle balance for those couple weeks each month. PennyMac continues to refuse to apply the principle portion of the biweekly payments to the principle balance when it is actually received. The whole reason for enrolling in the biweekly payment program is to pay off the mortgage early and reduce interest payments over the life of the loan. This practice of NOT applying the principle portion of the bi-weekly payment 'as soon as it 's received ' and waiting until the end of the month, is unfair predatory deceiving and not understood by most consumers. The impact of this practice over the life of a 30 year mortgage is substantial and to the benefit of the lender not the consumer. While PennyMac may have disclosed this practice in fine print somewhere, most if not all consumers do not understand the negative impacts of this practice.
