M&T Bank Mortgage Complaint

M&T Bank Mortgage department,

FHA mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account California

I have a mortgage held by M & T Bank - -, N.Y. The loan is FHA. I 've been making payments for 5 years - not a single late payment. Due to an increase in home values in California over the last five years, my LTV is now much less than the 76 % threshold needed to cancel private mortgage insurance. M & T says it wo n't accept an appraisal to verify the current home value and therefore wo n't cancel PMI until the outstanding loan reaches the 76 % ratio solely through principal reductions to the original loan balance This is absurd, given that I could refinance ( but do n't want to ) and a new loan would be based on the home 's appraised value. This practice seems patently unfair. If however, this is law, as they state, then the law needs changing.
