Complaint:
Based on past complaints this Freedom Mortgage has not been able to correct its predatory lending behaviors. 
1. ) XX/XX/XXXX Freedom Mortgage was notified in writing that out home was 100 % tax exempted and we asked the tax in escrow to stop being held. By Illinois state law from XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( S.B 1427 ). Freedom Mortgage did not comply with this law until XXXX of XXXX. * XX/XX/XXXX. 
A. ) The only corrected it from XX/XX/XXXX not XX/XX/XXXX, this issue is still outstanding. 
2. ) XX/XX/XXXX In speaking with Freedom Mortgage I was made aware of a unknown to the homeowners a Insurance policy from XXXX XXXX. *XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX to find out about this additional above and beyond the insurance I already had. I was told by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that no such policy exists and has not existed. *XX/XX/XXXX I called back Freedom Mortgage and spoke to XXXX in the Insurance department where on their own recorded call. Confirmed that they had been collecting on this fraudulent policy, that they had in house paperwork showing that this policy had been cancelled from XX/XX/XXXX on a document she ( XX/XX/XXXX ) had received in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX also went on to verbally confirm the company knowingly continued to take demand the monies to go into escrow for a non existing policy. XXXX also stated very clearly that they would continue to demand the funds irregardless of insurance policy or not. 
A. ) Freedom Mortgage force placed a {$1900.00} insurance policy to cover for the time that the did not actually have the fraudulent insurance they placed on the house. I was told by XXXX who is a special associate that this would not be the case that they would assume the cost since it was their mistake. I will be sending formal complaints to Illinois Division of Insurance Licensing with a request that this company be barred from working in the state. 
B. ) We are working with a lawyer provided by the VA to help us if this is not resolved within 30 days C. ) All Insurance and late fees because of this need to be removed since they are trying to collect on a fraudulent DEBT. 


This company has a history of not following Federal and State mandated laws in regards to fair housing and mortgages.

Complaint:
VALIDATION OF ACCOUNT Account # : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I neither affirm, nor deny this purported debt. You claim I owe your company $ XXXX. This letter is being sent to you in response to an entry made on my Credit Report dated [ date ]. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay the debt, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 1 : USC 1692g Sec 809 ( b ) that your claim that I owe you money is disputed, and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am the correct party, and there is some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay this debt. This is NOT a request for verification via XXXX or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Reporting inaccurate and unsubstantiated information to a credit reporting agency may constitute fraud under federal law. Compliance with this request is required under the laws of state and federal statutes. Debt validation includes the following : 1. Who was the original creditor on this account, and what was the account number? 2. What was the original amount owed? Please provide a complete payment history, starting with the original creditor. 3. Please provide me documentation that indicates that I agreed to pay someone this sum of money. 4. What was the original date of delinquency for this account? 5. Agreement that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt, or proof of acquisition by assignment. 6.

In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act states that while this item is being investigated you must indicate to the bureau that the account is under dispute and will remove/cease from reporting this information to the Credit Reporting Agency until full validation has been completed. I have sent a copy of this request for validation to the XXXX national Credit Reporting Agencies to begin their 30-day investigational process concurrent with your investigation.

State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I logged into my mobile banking app and noticed my account had a negative balance. When my work day ended at XXXX I proceeded to deposit {$50.00} into my account which would have placed a positive balance of approx. {$32.00} in my account. upon the completion of my deposit I noticed my account was still negative approx. {$1.00}. I then logged into my account and saw a overdraft fee had been applied. I proceeded to contact customer service. I had previously been informed by customer service that if a negative balance was corrected within that business day no overdraft fee would be applied. Upon talking to customer service I was told that since my account went negative on XX/XX/XXXX that I should have corrected the balance that day. I was under the understanding that XX/XX/XXXX is considered a federal holiday and therefore not a business day. The customer service representative then informed me that US Bank considers any day a business day regardless if it is a weekend or holiday. The CSR told me that since it was now XX/XX/XXXX they had applied an overdraft fee of {$36.00}. When I question how that was possible, due to the account going negative on a federal holiday and not a business day I was pretty much told oh well that us how we do it. This is not the first time that I have had problems with this bank and their ridiculous overuse and abuse of overdraft fees. But it is the last time.

Complaint:
ICR, Immediate Credit Recovery garnished my husband 's wages for {$320.00} each pay period ( every two weeks ) without proper notification. I was not aware of any money owed until I received paperwork for the garnishment from my employer until 8 days prior to the funds being deducted from my pay. The amount being deducted has adversely affected my family and my credit, I can not meet my basic living needs and I have XXXX XXXX children at home. Both are in need of summer clothing to fit them, and we have a combined school expense of {$800.00} that was due XXXX XXXX, and we ca n't afford to pay it. I have had utilities turned off, not able to pay for groceries and media actions needed because we have an {$11000.00} deductible. <P/>We are incurring late fees on our financial obligations and never had the opportunity to dispute or set up affordable payments. <P/>I need help ASAP as ICR has failed to respond to faxes, email, and phone calls. When I call I press option 3, them get a recording and disconnected. I requested a hearing on XXXX XXXX and was told they were wating for a response as to the date of the hearing only to find out 6 weeks later ( XXXX ) that they never sent it so we wait another 30-60 days for a hearing date while they continue to take money from my husband 's pay. <P/>We do not qualify for any type of assistance because they look at gross income, they do n't take the garnishment in to consideration. This company had contradicted themselves and made it impossible for us to meet our basic needs.
