Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I had a XXXX hardship and requested a deferral. After 6 months I was contacted and informed I would have to pay back the deferral amount in 6 months which was a surprise to me as I had skipped 6, so it didnt seem that th defer all for Covid was providing any real financial relief, only moving the stress / financial burden to a later period of time. 

Later I called back and another person let me know I could apply to have the payment split over 12 months which seemed more reasonable. As the payment continues to pile up I chose to make a payment online, the online option only allowed me to pay $ XXXX which is more than 2x my normal payment. 

I called back a 3rd time after making this payment and was then told the loan payment would be added to he end of my loan. This was a more ideal solution and I wonder stood it to be the likely scenario even though this as the third different scenario tat was explained to me. 

Shortly p After I got a letter stating I would indeed have to pay $ XXXX per month. Apparently this letter was drafted after I made the payment so I assume that would be deducted. Or modified at some point. 

I called back a 4th time as I was frustrated I was being led in circles and being given inaccurate information. They then said I needed to request a deferral to add the payments to the end of the loan but then said I could go back into forbearance which is not what I want. I want a reasonable way to pay back the money I owe. 

The company seems to have a lack of training and understanding in how to process these loan reinstatements. They are defaulting to predatory lending behaviors and given out misinformation as most consumers will likely give up. 

After a 4th call I then was to, d I had to apply for a deferral, which had clearly already been discussed or asked about previously but I was told it was not an available option for me.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I reported a " debt '' as fraudulent to American Coriadius International LLC ( ACI ). Whoever incurred this debt initially with XXXX didn't know how to spell my name correctly and used an email address that didn't belong to me. The amount was for {$940.00}. 

After investigating, they should have realized that this debt was not legally mine and dropped it. They never contacted me again. Instead of writing this off as fraud ( or whatever companies do when they deal with fraud and theft ), they sold this " debt '' to another collection agency to harass me more. They did this either with the knowledge that this debt was fraudulent or without following up on my report that it was fraudulent.

I also know that the P M I insurance has paid them {$180000.00} and we have paid approximately {$20000.00} since 2010. I have asked them for the payment history and who the lender is. We always get contradictory information and statements.
