I wanted to reduce my mortgage by removing pmi. After struggling with moving money from bank to bank, I was able to make another 10 % payment to Stonegate Mortgage. I had put 10 % down on the house and with the 10 % payment, was at least 20 % of original loan. The whole goal was to reduce my mortgage by approx. {$200.00}. Not only has my pmi not been removed, I was told that I had to pay an additional {$110.00} to request a broker document before they remove the pmi or I have to wait years until the loan value is 78 %. They just gave me a bunch of other things to do. The problem is I work 14+ hour days every day ( XXXX hours just driving from XXXX to job ), and am at the limit for bankers bs. They took my money, which I can not invest, I told them the intent was to reduce pmi. Now they want to charge me more money before removing pmi even though I have paid the 20 %.
