Can private mortgage insurance (PMI) be canceled?
Yes, PMI may be canceled in certain circumstances.
Automatic Termination
If you’re required to carry PMI, we’ll cancel it automatically when your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is scheduled to reach 78%. The LTV ratio is the difference between the loan amount and the original market value of the home.
LTV Example: If you borrow $88,000 to buy a house valued at $100,000, your loan-to-value ratio is 88%. ($88,000 /$100,000 = 0.88, or 88%).
Based on the original home value, we’ll project the date when your LTV will reach 78%, and we’ll plan to cancel your PMI on that date.
Early Cancellation
You can request early cancellation of PMI before the automatic cancellation date. Each mortgage investor has different requirements for canceling PMI early.
- In most cases, the property must reach at least an 80% LTV.
- If you obtained your loan less than two years ago, your investor may require a list of substantial improvements to evaluate the PMI cancellation request. You must have a description of the improvement, the date it occurred, and the associated cost.
- A home valuation may be required to determine your equity amount. The cost of the valuation will be your responsibility. We will let you know if a valuation is required along with the costs and steps to have the valuation completed.
- You must be current on your loan payments. You cannot have been more than 30 days past due in the last year or more than 60 days past due in the last two years.

How can I protect myself from scams?
Imposter Scams
These are usually phone calls from individuals claiming to be PHH Mortgage Services (PHH) employees demanding payments in the form of a pre-paid debit/gift cards to cover trial loan modification payments, escrow shortages and/or to avoid foreclosure. These imposters may be calling from what appears to be a legitimate PHH/Onity phone number. This is called spoofing.
PHH would never require payment via a pre-paid debit/gift card. PHH would never request a Western Union payment to be sent to an individual. PHH would never ask for personal information over the phone, unless you initiated the contact and we are verifying your identify.
If you ever doubt the legitimacy of a call from PHH, especially if payment is demanded, hang up and call us directly.
If you think you may have been a victim of an imposter scam, please contact us and then file a report with your local police department. You can also contact the Federal Trade Commission.
Loan Modification Scams
These are schemes where “Foreclosure Rescue Companies” take your money, often by making a false promise of saving you from foreclosure.
PHH does not charge up-front fees for a loan modification. You should never sign over title to your property or sign papers you don’t understand. Only make payments to your mortgage loan service provider.
If you think you have been a victim of a loan modification scam, please contact us. You can also file a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling 1-855-411-2372 (CFPB).

What is a recast?
When you make a lump-sum payment of $5,000 or more toward the principal balance, we can recalculate the monthly payment based on the reduced balance. This recalculation is called a recast. Your monthly payment decreases while the interest rate, term, and maturity date remain the same. To request a recast, log on to your account and send us a secure message by visiting Account Management > Messages.

How can I request a recast?
