Issue: Managing, opening, or closing your mobile wallet account

Complaint:
Sometime before XXXX, PayPal allowed someone else to add my email address to their account. This has caused them to receive transfers going to me, and there is no way to reclaim them. 

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Rewards sent a payment to my email, which I didn't receive. I called PayPal support to ask about this ; they said there was nothing they could do and to contact the sender or receiver. XXXX doesn't have customer support so I can't contact them. I sent a money request to the receiver for the amount but never got a reply, and of course I can't contact them since it's my own email address. 

Just recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) the request I sent was cancelled. This caused PayPal to send me an email with the other person 's real-looking name and real email address. This seems like an inappropriate disclosure of their personal info, even if they do have my money.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC. 
I, XXXX XXXX believes in the credit reporting system as the most important element to the success of the commercial banking system. I am also a proponent of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB XXXX as a tool to streamline issues on credit reports that may be dragging down my overall scores. Accordingly, I address each particular issue directly with the creditor in question, before submitting any complaint to the credit bureaus if necessary. Therefore, I desire the following reinvestigation as follows : 1 ) On accounts where late payments are posted, I respectfully request a review of the past payment history and to ascertain if certain payments could actually have been posted late because of an overlap on the 30-days grace period. I realize that this may happen on occasion, and I request only a summary review internally, and do not require any documentation. 
2 ) On any account that falls within the 84-month negative reporting timeline, I respectfully request either the deletion of the account if said account was closed, or the elimination of the prior payment if the account it is still active, this is well within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines pertaining to obsolete information. 
3 ) Any collections must be proved if either a direct collection and/or debt purchase. In either event I request that a true original copy of right to pursue collection be established with each respective credit reporting agency, and if a debt purchase the guidelines proving transfer of ownership must be submitted to all credit bureaus as well as me personally to validate ownership and the right to collect. I am well within my rights requesting proper documentation as administered through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), in addition to the even stricter guidelines enforced by the office of attorney general in my state of domicile. 
I respectfully request each investigation to be reported to Experian, Equifax and Trans Union within a reasonable time period, hopefully 30-days. I realize that the current Covid-19 crisis could cause delays, so the best efforts of each financial institution and collection agency will be appreciated under the current circumstances.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Escrow, taxes, or insurance

Complaint:
This company is misallocating funds. I have reached out to them on several occasions to resolve the problem. I would get hung up on and finally receive a notice with an explanation that does not make any sense. I let it go at first, but it keeps happening and I'm sure I am not the only person. I also had a problem with closing this transaction and the funds were also mismanaged. 

1st. occurrence - This loan was refinanced and the first payment was not due until XX/XX/XXXX - I made payments XXXX payments to the principle only prior to the initial due date and noticed on the statement they used a portion of it for the interest. I called to fix the problem only to get the run around, but I let it go because it was getting very stressful with being handed off to many representatives. 

2nd occurrence - On statement dated XX/XX/XXXX - I had an escrow balance of {$7500.00} a payment was made to my insurance company in the amount of {$980.00} and on the following statement it showed a payment to the Tax Disbursement in the amount of {$4700.00} - for a total amount of {$5700.00} which should have left me a total of {$1800.00}, however, when the statement dated XX/XX/XXXX came out, it only showed a balance of what was just added {$840.00}. I inquired about the balance and could not get a straight answer. 
After my escrow balance started all over from scratch, my escrow amount was not enough and they sent me out a notice that my payment would increase unless I paid the amount of {$360.00}, I paid the overage and my payment still went up. I didn't notice the increase until a few months later. when I inquired about the payment, they made a few adjustments on my account and reallocated more money into my escrow account. 
I pay biweekly with an additional {$150.00} per month going to my principle, these payments are automatic. After the adjustments were made, the company was now reporting that I missed a payment, they waived the first late fee, but didn't the 2nd month. This was reported to the credit company and dropped my credit score by XXXX points. This caused me financial harm with my other creditors. I reached out again via an email and they fixed the credit report, but then they messed up again, by placing a very low amount into my principle account and doubling the amount that was placed in the interest account. 
If you follow the paper trail, this situation should have been resolved immediately, but here I am frustrated with all of the money that has been misallocated, gone missing and just overall mishandling of funds. I set this account up to make my payments on time with a little extra to pay off this loan sooner, but the customer service and the lack of understanding caused me to submit this request.
