Worse online service I have ever experienced. Every time I try to log in to check my mortgage (monthly) it tells me my credentials are incorrect and will not allow me access. Yes, I have cleared cache, entered multiple times, ...tried calling with no results. No one wants to speak to an automated service. Maybe put one of your agents who harass us (calling constantly) trying to take out home equity loans to be a customer representative to fix your issues online! Terrible!

Customer experience review for Mr. Marlon Rodriguez

Mr. Marlon Rodriguez is the best Loan Officer I have ever met in my life. He is patient, knowledgeable and an expert in his job, always ready to provide alternative solutions and follows up to provide updates every step of the way. Pennymac should promote him now and hold on to him for eternity. Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez.
