Foreclosure Timeline

PHH typically initiates foreclosure after 120+ days delinquency. In non-judicial states, PHH foreclosures may complete in 100-160 days from referral. PHH has been cited for premature foreclosure initiation while a complete loss mitigation application was pending, making dual tracking a key area of scrutiny for current PHH borrowers. Judicial state timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction.

Consumer Complaint Patterns

PHH has accumulated a significant volume of CFPB complaints over its decades of servicing. Common categories: loan modification application delays, dual tracking (foreclosure while modification under review), escrow account errors, payment misapplication, and credit reporting errors after loss mitigation. A common pattern: PHH transfers servicing to another servicer mid-modification review, triggering errors and resetting the borrower's process.

Regulatory Actions & Enforcement

PHH has been subject to multiple CFPB consent orders and enforcement actions, dating back to the earliest years of the CFPB's existence. Major actions include: a CFPB consent order addressing mortgage insurance kickbacks (RESPA Section 8 violations), multi-state settlements with 50+ state attorneys general related to servicing practices, and a significant CFPB order addressing loss mitigation failures. The landmark PHH v. CFPB case went to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Homeowner Tips for Working with PHH Mortgage

1. PHH's long and complex corporate history means your loan servicing file may contain errors accumulated over multiple servicing platform transitions — request a complete payment history going back to origination. 2. If your PHH loan was transferred to or from another servicer, check the transfer records carefully — servicing transfers are a common source of payment errors and lost documents. 3. Submit all loss mitigation documents by certified mail and through the portal — PHH's systems have been cited for losing electronically submitted documents. 4. If PHH initiates foreclosure while your modification is pending, this is a potential dual tracking violation — document the timeline and contact an attorney immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions — PHH Mortgage

Is PHH still its own company?
PHH Mortgage is now part of the NewRez/Shellpoint family of companies following acquisition and integration. While the PHH brand name persists on some borrower communications, the underlying servicing infrastructure has been migrating to the Shellpoint/NewRez platform. This transition has created servicing errors and documentation gaps that borrowers should be aware of.
What was the PHH v. CFPB case about?
PHH v. CFPB was a landmark case about RESPA Section 8 (anti-kickback) violations, in which PHH challenged the CFPB's constitutionality and the scope of its enforcement authority. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the CFPB's single-director structure was constitutional. While the case focused on mortgage insurance kickbacks, it established important precedent for CFPB enforcement authority and the RESPA statute of limitations.
