Late charges are assessed after the close of business on the 16th day of each month. If the 16th falls on a weekend or holiday, late charges are assessed after close of business on the next business day.

Please visit our Electronic Funds Transfer web page for more information concerning this free service.

Also, we offer the Equity Accelerator payment program.

After mailing the completed form, please continue to make your payments until you receive a letter confirming when the program will begin.

Yes. It is important that you continue to remit your monthly payment as you normally would. If your payment is remitted using our Electronic Funds Transfer program, it is important to notify us as least 10 days in advance of the next scheduled EFT payment date so your EFT can be canceled. Should the payment be deducted from your bank account after your loan pays in full, we will return it to you within the following two weeks.

If you are having financial difficulties, it is always best to make us aware of your situation. We may have a payment program available to help you through your financial hardship. To learn more, click here, or call 1-800-523-8654 to speak with a customer counselor.

Some loans qualify for a Principal Reduction Modification. PNC Mortgage will allow you to pay a minimum of $10,000 towards your principal and reamortize your loan which will reduce your monthly principal and interest payment. To find out if this option is available to you, please call one of our Customer Service Representatives at 1-800-822-5626, or mail your request to:

If your loan qualifies, a Loan Modification of Note will be sent to you for your signature. Upon receipt of the signed modification, the additional principal amount and a nominal fee, we will apply the additional principal amount and reamortize your loan. You will then receive a coupon book reflecting the new monthly payment. The entire process takes approximately 6-8 weeks.

Although payments are considered past due if not received by the due date, most Notes provide a period of time after the due date for payments to be received before a late charge is assessed. To avoid the risk of damage to your credit or the assessment of a late charge, it is recommended that every effort be made to ensure your payment is received by the due date.

An assumption is a transaction in which a person takes over responsibility for the loan exactly as it is. The terms, interest rate, principal balance and monthly payments do not change. The monthly payments are made without lapse.

PNC Mortgage accepts payments without coupons. Please write your loan number on your check and mail it to:

Check conversion is the process of converting a consumer check payment into an electronic debit transaction. PNC Mortgage will beging processing check payments electronically beginning on March 1, 2005.

When you make a payment with a personal check, the paper check is converted to an electronic debit and is transmitted through the ACH (Automated Clearing House) network. This means your account could be debited as early as the same day the payment is received. The check will no longer be sent to the bank for processing, therefore you will no longer receive the original or a copy of your check back from the bank.

Your bank statement will now show a line item for an electronic entry initiated by PNC Mortgage. The electronic entry description will include the check number, payee, (displayed as PNC Mortgage Payment) and the amount of the check.

The funds will be applied to principal as long as you notate "Principal Only" on the memo line of the check along with your loan number. You will need to send the check to the address on your payment coupon/billing statement. We will not be able to process the prinicipal payment received if the loan is delinquent or the payment for current month has not been received.
