Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I am currently into month thirty on making the WRONG calculated payment that I should be paying on my 30 year term mortgage ... Recently I was informed that Freedom mortgage was willing to help by increasing my term up to a 40 year term only to save me {$100.00}. Realize that this was after a 2 year miscalculation on my payments from the original lenders that caused this entire mortgage to snowball on me. I was in the process of resolving the issue by paying back the ESCROW SHORTAGE that this caused me when I refinanced from these amateurs. And then at this time it was supposed to be reviewed and adjusted in my favor to get a reduction on my mortgage ... It has now come to terms to seek some kind of help on this entire hardship that is causing me Including all documents and HUD copies to be reviewed. At this time I have no choice rather than to take this bogus offer only so I can afford to continue to fight this matter. Or I may even just pay the taxes only personally to my county to make this matter kick in by getting worse to prove what a missed tax payment from so called Authorized, Professional resources can cause ... I mean how hard can it be to review a scam that took place practically in my hometown approx 30 months ago?? Could both my Girlfriend and I mistakenly misunderstood the closing agent who acted as a notary public on the evening of XXXX XXXX and stated to us that " this cashier 's check for the amount {$2400.00} is going to your county so you KNOW that you have piece of mind knowing that your 1st quarter taxes are paid. '' And we thanked her. XXXX also stated to me that, to make sure to follow up because she did not really know the company that sent her to my home to sign the HUD and she was ONLY working as a notary public on that evening in early XXXX XXXX ... .I actually did call my township and the clerk stated to me that there was a check and they were waiting on the bank code where to place it? At this time I thought everything was fine, and 5 months after that I just starting receiving all kinds of delinquent notices ... ... ..I mean how much more can I prove to you people who ever you even are because I am getting sick and tired of everyone not being a man enough to stand up to me face to face or one on one to at least discuss or resolve this issue because next XXXX XXXX I am going to be on this stupid computer cell phone technology modern science trying to communicate over such a simple matter. Or at least say to me : look XXXX XXXX I am not reading the HUD properly or I was suppose to rush down to my county clerk to start my NEW escrow account. Somebody has to take a look at these facts.

Complaint:
After viewing a copy of my report, I noticed a collection account placed on my credit report from AD Astra Recovery Serv on XX/XX/2019 in the amount of {$660.00}.

Third, what obligation do I have at all to AD Astra Recovery Serv? I have never heard of them, have no written contract with them and have never received any benefits from them, yet AD Astra Recovery Serv has submitted negative information to all three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) against my name and social security number and is demanding payment from me in the amount of {$660.00}.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I opened a credit account at MACYs Department store in XXXX when I first moved here in XX/XX/2018. The only picture I.D . I had with me was an old drivers license from a previous address in XXXX, TN. I specifically told the clerk ( with my wife as a witness ) not to use that address and I verbally gave her my correct address in XXXX. I also provided on the credit application my telephone number and e-mail address. I had only the one charge on the account from that day and MACYs mailed the invoices to the wrong address and I never received them. I was never contacted by phone or e-mail regarding the unpaid invoice and I only realized the error in XX/XX/2018 when I checked my credit report. Upon identifying the error I called MACYs and immediately paid the balance by credit card over the telephone ( which had now ballooned to twice the original charge due to penalties ). All I asked is that they contact the credit reporting agencies and have it removed. I have written them several letters and provided all the necessary information to prove to them I had not resided at the TN address for over 4 years ( which is why the invoices were not forwarded to my correct address ). They have no legitimate reason for not contacting me by either phone or email. I sincerely appreciate any help your agency can provide me to rectify this situation and clear this blemish on my credit report. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX, I was notified by XXXXBMO Harris Bank that I was approved for a forbearance for months, XXXX XXXX, XXXX due to COVID. The XXXX reps name is XXXX, initials, XXXX. 
In late XXXX, I received a call from XXXXBMO Harris bank to inform me that my forbearance was not approved. I was notified that the XXXX rep informed me of the forbearance approval in error. This was a problem because XXXX and XXXX payments were already missed. I then asked for a Supervisor who eventually had the recording pulled of the conversation where I was notified of the approval. The Supervisors name is XXXX XXXX. I was led to believe that since XXXX made an error, the three months could be placed on the back end of the mortgage loan. Instead, XXXXBMO Harris Bank reported a 90 day delinquency on my account, which caused my credit score to drop XXXX points. When I learned of the negative reporting, I managed to make a payment to bring my account current, early XXXX, XXXX. I had exceptional credit, score XXXX, until this error occurred. Now my credit is unbelievably low, after I have worked so very hard to maintain my credit through the years. There is no way I neglected my mortgage. My credit history speaks for itself. I need the delinquency removed from my credit report. I can not accept anything less. I have worked too hard through the years to gain an XXXX credit score to fall victim of someone elses error. Please help me,
