Chase Bank sucks, they asked what my utilities “recurring” charge was I got locked out of my bank account after losing my phone (so I couldn’t use two factor authorization).

So I gave her my most recent ch…

Asked how to remove Private Mortgage Insurance (since I think I’ve hit the threshold) and was told I’ll need to pay a fee to an unknown-to-me broker. Is this sketchy? I bought my home a little over two years ago, 6% down. With how much the market has appreciated in that time, and what homes around me are being listed for, I strongly suspect I’m below the 80% loan-to-value threshold needed to remove Private Mortgage Insurance. I contacted my mortgage servicer (my mortgage servicing has switched hands twice sin…

She said she didn’t understand, and they acted like she was an idiot and said have your husband call. So, I defi…
