Homeowners requesting PMI cancellation based on loan-to-value calculations find that servicers refuse the cheaper Broker Price Opinion valuation option listed in their own documentation, without citing a specific reason or investor guideline.

The inconsistency between published PMI policies and actual servicer practice creates confusion and added cost for borrowers seeking to remove PMI.

The absence of a transparent, evidence-based dispute mechanism leaves borrowers trapped with no recourse.

Borrowers need tools that document servicer representations and enforce statutory PMI termination rights.
