Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I was in the process of looking for a XXXX refinance for my VA loan. I found Freedom Mortgage online and submitted my interest in applying for a IRRRL. There website seemed thorough. Within ten minutes I received a phone call back from a gentleman named XXXX XXXX, from Freedom Mortgage. He said he was in the business for 20 years and could help me if my credit score was above XXXX. I said it was. He proceeded to ask me questions such as : What was my home valued at? How much do I owe? He proceeded to calculate how many years I had left to pay '' 27.92 years '' was his response.He wanted to know my homeowners insurance company and the cost per month, as well as my annual taxes and " are they paid in my mortgage and when do I pay for them. '' What is my yearly income? He explained that there will be a {$950.00} funding fee since we did not have a rating on my husbands XXXX. He told me I would not have to bring any money to the closing table and it should take about 30 days to process. There would be no appraisal. My percentage rate would be 2.99. He pulled a soft credit and I have received the report. The problem is when I checked in with him about a week later, he said he was no longer with Freedom Mortgage. He had a sad story that he was pulled from doing loans and I asked what happened with my loan and there was nothing. He gave me a name of someone else at Freedom Mortgage and when I called her she was driving and thought I wanted a job with Freedom  Mortgage. Come to find out she does not do loans but is a recruiter. I was truly hoping to refinance so I it would help my monthly bills. I am frustrated because I thought we completed an application over the phone with all the information I provided and getting a soft pull on my credit verified that for me. That also put a dent in my credit so when another company looks they will notice that pull. I did not want to lose the 2.99 percent for my refi. I will look for another company. But, I felt that I should make a formal complaint. I am very concerned that my  Personal information may have been jeopardized in some way and feel very vulnerable.

Company: Synovus Bank

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
Hello, On XX/XX/2022 I sent {$1000.00} to XXXX XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX via XXXX ( through Synovus Bank Checking Account ) as we made a deal on XXXX for a telescope. After sending the money I realized that I made a mistake of sending the money to a fraudster as he stopped replying to me, blocked me and also I got a notice on cell phone from another number saying that the XXXX payment didn't go through and I should send it again. That message was to trick me into sending the money again. 

Confirmation # : XXXX Payment ID : XXXX I immediately realized that I was defrauded so I called Synovus Bank and let them know that I was defrauded and I should get the money back. They said they will contact XXXX and open an investigation and let me know in a couple of days. 

Then, I received a letter dated XX/XX/2022 from Synovus Bank stating that they are unable to provide a refund. I am attaching the copy of the letter. 

I understand that the transaction of authorized by me but the goods and services were not sent to me so I should get a refund of full amount of {$1000.00}. Synovus Bank and/or XXXX should have the recipient 's name, phone number, checking/savings account and address so I am really surprised that they are not able to recover the money from recipient 's account and credit back to me. 

Thank you very much. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, Recently I tried making my monthly online mortgage payment online w/ LoanCare a XXXX XXXX . I paid my current mortgage within the grace period on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. As a result of me paying online, I incurred a {$10.00} servicing fee. I read about this fee from my previous statement in XXXX. Therefore, in order to not incur this fee, I set-up automatic payments effective immediately. For whatever reason, my auto payment was not set-up until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I tried calling customer service, stating that I set-up auto-pay more than 30 days in advance of my next statement. The rep XXXX saw that I set up the auto pay on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but said that there was nothing she could do. I in fact spoke to her Supervisor XXXX who told me the same thing. Hence no refund for the service fee, even though I had setup the free autopay feature, yet was unable to utilize this option incurring the {$10.00} fee. The following 2 items are my specific grievances : 1. Why are they even charging a fee to pay online? I have had several mortgages, and have never heard of such a fee. Also, my closing documents say that I have a 15 day grace period. 

2. Once I saw that they were going to charge a fee, i immediately set-up for auto payments ( no fee ). So why is it my fault that I should have to pay a fee, if they take longer than 30 days to setup the payment. 

Thank you for your help, XXXX XXXX

So as of now XX/XX/XXXX, my payment history is inaccurate and they are not willing to correct it. I have called them numerous times, and they just say they will get with me but never do. Not only did they report a late pay that they were not supposed to but also have stopped reporting my payments after that.
