First Class Company
I've been with Planet Home Lending since shortly after I purchased my home. A few weeks ago I decided to call them about my refinance options. I spoke with Chris, who went over my options with me. With his help and wealth of knowledge, we decided on their Streamline option. The process was quick and easy and Chris & Naomi helped me every step of the way.

illegally withholding insurance funds due to homeowner
We are trying to rebuild a disabled veterans' home after a total loss fire. We are at 85% completion and have not been paid since we are in the 40% range. During the process, Planet Mortgage bought this loan and took over the nearly $200K in Insurance proceeds. For the last 6 weeks, we have been repeatedly giving them the Documents they have asked for to get the money released, only for them to say they do not have them. The Veteran is about to be homeless because we cannot finish the house without being paid. They DO NOT CARE AND WILL NOT DO THEIR JOB! We will have to file a lien and force the veteran to sell the home because we have to pay the bills on the property. Planet Homes allegedly has the money, but they will not release it to the homeowner, no matter how many times we provide the documentation. It makes me wonder if they actually have the money. I hope you will consider another, more reputable Mortgage company, as Planet Homes likes to cheat Veterans out of their money.
