I have a mortgage with ShellPoint Servicing and it has PMI. Now that the house prices have gone up, i requested them for PMI cancellation. They sent me a form to sign which also forced me to sign for appraisal at my cost. After all these, now, they say, the PMI can only be removed based on original Loan Amount, and not the current appraised value. My compaints, 1. They didnt tell me this earlier, 2. When they knew this, why did they ask me to sign for Appraisal, 3. they charged me for appraisal. 4. they dont give me the PMI requirements clearly in writing.
