Consumer Complaint: We started to refinance our house ( s ) in Hawaii with Freedom Mortgage through a private broker in XXXX of XXXX. We finally signed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and Freedom Mortgage has still not paid off our loan or our other bundled pay offs with no communication as to why it was not paid. This has not only cost us money because some payments have now been double paid to not be late but extreme grief and hardship on my husband and myself. This process was to lower our payments and help us to make one monthly payment that was lower that the others. This company should be held accountable for their actions and the hardship they have caused to my family. We have an excellent credit rating, and have NEVER missed any payments to anyone.

Consumer Complaint: Hello CFPB, I have been dealing with the incompetence of Freedom Mortgage and XXXX Mortgage since XXXX 2015 as outlined in the attached RESPA letter. They really messed up the transfer of servicing. To keep the story as short as possible, everything requested in my RESPA letter has been resolved EXCEPT : Freedom Mortgage 's answer to thousands of dollars in payments I made in XXXX 2015, before the transfer of servicing, was to reverse the payments and send them to XXXX who reposted them as of the date they received them ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Now I 'm not an accountant, but it seems that it 's illegal to reverse payments and have them posted months later without proper credit for the interest. As you can see by my RESPA letter, I 've spent a LOT of time trying to correct their mistakes. I would n't mind being compensated for that. I figure at least XXXX hours XXXX XXXX {$400.00}. It 's a lot cheaper than if they 'd had to pay my lawyer and court costs.

Few days letter, XXXX who is the point of contact told me that loan has been denied because my investor did not approve for modification. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received very brief mail from Freedom mortgage regarding my modification has been denied due to Insufficient Income. They are telling homeowner different answer to denied them for modification. Homeowner is XXXX Veteran currently receiving VA XXXX & VA XXXX. When we spoke with them, we requested what income underwriter used for modification review but point of contact is not able to provide the information to us at all.

Consumer Complaint: Made a payment and they say they do n't have it. I had my bank send them proof, but they charged me a late fee and still say they do n't have it. My loan was sold to this company in XX/XX/XXXX and we have had problems ever since. I have made numerous calls and never get anywhere. I mailed my XX/XX/XXXX payment and called the day before it was due just to make sure they had my payment. They said no, so I did a stop payment on my check and did a check by phone with them for a XXXX fee. The next day, they tried to cash my check. I am sure they had it all along. For my XX/XX/XXXX payment I did an EFT payment through my bank because I was afraid to mail it after the XX/XX/XXXX mess. Now they say they do not accept EFT payments, but the XXXX XXXX servicing center took my money and still has it. What am I supposed to do?

Consumer Complaint: I will try to explain, but so much has happened not sure where to start. This has been going on for 28mths just about. We have tried to do a loan modification and have been given the run around to the point we got behind and had to hire lawyers to help us and after the lawyer we were paying got suspended we have been left alone. We have contacted Freedom Mortgage since they got our loan back in XXXX XXXX from the previous lender which was XXXX. Since the lawyer we were left us high and dry in XXXX XXXX, we have been contacting Freedom, they keep giving us the run around. They said that we need to short-sale and if not they will give us 3 months to do a deed of liue and help us with relocation cost, we have wanted that in writing ... they keep saying that they have sent us a mitigation package and all that and to this day we have yet to receive it. I 'm sorry I forgot to mention this all started due to my husbands hours were cut and he had some medical bills that arose due to he had XXXX in XXXX and it looked like something had came back that caused us to apply to do a loan modification and it led to 28mths of fighting with mortgage company. So..after the told me to short-sale ... I went ahead and found a Realtor who put the house up ... she called them and they told her over the phone that the payoff was {$190000.00} and we had tittle company request it in writing ... we got an offer on the house while it was only on the marker for 7 days we were still waiting on the mortgage company to send the payoff..I have called them, had to leave a voicemail to a caseworker who never calls me back, left a message for a manager to call me and that has n't happened either ... we have a VA loan ... I do n't want to loose it, but how can I work with a mortgage company that is not working with me is almost as if they want to foreclosure.We do n't want that, we did not miss our payments on purpose, it was a life crisis that we ende dup in and went straight to the mortgage for help. Right now the people are waiting on our counter offer which we ca n't because Freedom has yet to send anything or return my calls. I 'm stressed, I just want to sale the house and move on, but the longer it takes the longer our credit is ruined. I want Freedom to help us and to do as they have said they will do. We ca n't loose our VA and we do n't want to foreclosure, we have tried to work with them and even have had an attorney email them to call him and they have n't even called him. All t his to me just does n't sound right and Im so scared that we wo n't have anywhere to go and no money to go anywhere. Please help us!! Please!

Consumer Complaint: My current mortgage co. Freedom Mortgage, called and offered a refinance, but after I TOLD them my wife had an open credit fraud case they stated they could n't run either of our credit reports. We agreed on a recorded phone call I would consider a refinance in a few months. The next day a title co. called me regarding a refinance with Freedom mortgage. Also, when I called the Freedom mortgage loan officer he told me he ran my credit after an agreement I would not consider opening a refinance with them.
