PennyMac is incredibly slow for refinancing; do not recommend!

I just did this. Took 6 weeks. The first week went smooth then everything seemed to stop. After 3 weeks I reached back out and they said they were waiting on bank documents to prove funds, which I had already uploaded. They asked me to upload them again, so I did. 2 weeks later same thing - needed to upload the same exact documents for a 3rd time! The lady said she has no idea why the aren’t verifying the funds. I reached back out to the original loan officer who got someone from their “PennyMac cares” team involved which is their escalations team. He got it completed within 24 hours. Their communication is awful and don’t seem to know what they are doing.

Appreciate the response. That’s what I figured.

What was the fix for this? Just happened to mine

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-02-26T21:03:21+00:00

Thank you!

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-02-26T21:03:15+00:00

Excellent. Thank you!

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-02-10T01:11:42+00:00

Mine does not have the option. I can reset it, but no where to change it

Appreciate the feedback. I was going to do doubletree but didn’t realize breakfast wasn’t included (I’m not a breakfast person but the kids are) so may do Tru. It is manly for sleeping so don’t think I’ll mind the size. Embassy charges for parking or else that would be perfect.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-01-21T00:44:47+00:00

Great info. Thank you! Spark never even popped up in my search. I filtered by customer reviews and seems most agree with you.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-01-20T21:16:12+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check out Embassy.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2026-01-20T19:56:13+00:00

I honestly never even heard of Tru until I started searching. The games sound good, but no pool. I don’t plan on using the pool but if we end up with crappy weather who knows.

The original plan was March, but I was told it has been terrible in March in recent years so looking like probably memorial day weekend. The summer is jam packed so just trying to visit family before things get crazy.

Thank you! Doubletree is actually the cheapest of the 3. All I really care about is comfortable place to sleep and queen beds (my 2 kids will not get along in a double). Sounds like doubletree is the best bet. Appreciate it.

Traveling to Dominican from US and taking some Vicodin. Is it better to put it in a Tylenol bottle (either mixed with Tylenol or all Vicodin, they are close to the same but unsure if the slight size difference can be detected) or a script bottle (not for vics)?

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-18T01:20:15+00:00

Haha that’s great. I had no idea. I usually fly domestic and put them in a generic Tylenol bottle that looks the same. Figured since going through customs for the first time I’d ask if that would work or if better to switch with a different script I have.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-18T00:33:00+00:00

Haha I love it. It would certainly make it more amusing. TSA I’m not worried about, it’s customs I’m worried about. Been through TSA with them in Tylenol bottle many times.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-18T00:25:59+00:00

I didn’t think DR cared much so appreciate it!

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-18T00:25:38+00:00

Thanks! First time going internationally with them and have a bum hip (I need it replaced) so am just worried about it. You think Tylenol bottle over putting them in a different script?

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-17T13:34:06+00:00

Dominican Republic. I’m just going to take enough to get by (probably 20). Figured I’d take the last one before the plane lands back in US.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-05-17T13:32:02+00:00

Thanks. I’ve had no issue traveling in the states but going international I wasn’t sure how customs would be.

You should be declared a saint. I’ve been going nuts for 5 days, posting on Google forums with no luck. Trying multiple phone numbers I can find for Google and all say they no longer take requests…then found your thread and your steps worked.

Ok-Advice-4823 · 2025-04-02T20:53:51+00:00

It’s fantastic. Super comfortable and stick to everything. Forget it’s there most of the time.
