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

Complaint:
I started to miss payments in XXXX of XXXX because my mortgage had increased by {$500.00} per month. I tried to call Freedom Mortgage to see what the problem was and they never could explain exactly why. They kept flip-flopping between something to do with the property taxes or the insurance. I never got a clear answer. I asked about possible loan modification/repayment options during the early part of XXXX in order to catch up with my payments but was told that they did not offer any of these services. I told them that my friend had received assistant through his bank with an FHA loan but Freedom Mortgage said, sorry, either you pay us the full amount or sell the house. In addition, I tried to refinance but they said no because I was behind. I ended up pulling money from my XXXX in order to reinstate the loan and wired the money to Freedom Mortgage on 8/16/17 which was one day before the sale date. I called Freedom mortgage to let them know and they said that my house would not be sold because I wired the money and they said not to send them any proof because they would review the wire when it came in. I offered to send them a copy of the wire receipt but they said that they did not need it. I assumed everything was ok but it turns out that the wire information provided to me by the bank was erroneous and my wire was rejected because of this. A few weeks after I received a letter on my fence telling me that the house had a new owner and to contact them in order to set up a " cash for keys ''. In a panic, I resent the money to reinstate the loan to them again but they sent me a check back telling me that they would not accept the funds. The mortgage has been reverted back to the lender and every time I try contacting them, they tell me sorry, nothing we can do and are not being responsible for the sale of the home even though I wired the money. I truly believe that the bank is acting in bad faith in that they did n't even bother to postpone the sale date after I notified them of the wire transfer. I have proof I sent the money in on the XXXX. My home was sold unfairly!!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay {$79.00} debt. Then they tried to say I had over {$2500.00} in debt. I asked them to prove my debt by telling me what it is and mail it to me. Then they said they forgave my debt, removed it and only charged me {$79.00}. This XXXX said my debt has been erased and they gave me back all of the {$250.00}. Well, I called my bank and they said they took all XXXX! I asked XXXX again from this so called debt agency to mail me a copy of all my debt I owed. She asked why did I need it, if they dropped all of it? She put me on hold and never came back. I recorded the WHOLE. Conversations! I let her know that, she started freaking out my doctors office, XXXX, the radiologist that this bill Supposedly came from, they said is not real. They said I do not owe any money because of the fact I have Medicaid and they dont charge anything. The radiologist want to see copies of what I/ supposedly came from, they said it is not real. They said I do not owe any money because of the fact I have Medicaid and they dont charge anything. The radiologist went to see copies of what I owe. I told her this. She would not comply. I have proof they put a false {$79.00} charge on my credit! They tried to get me to call this fake number - XXXX, this is NOT XXXX XXXX   XXXX  XXXX its a XXXX number. I called the real number and they saw I am a patient, but I owe NOTHING! They said I need to report this fraud! Why offer to drop my debt and give my money back, if I really owed money?!? They put this on my credit report, making it drop over 45 points on purpose. By making it XXXX hoping I would pay it, but can not provide my bill because there is no bill. This needs to be taken on my credit report. Its a scam! 
This happened today. They put it on my credit report XX/XX/2019. Saying its from 4years 10 months ago. ( Not possible to have XXXX in charges, Illinois Medicaid does not charge a deductible ) XXXX said they gave back the money, but XXXX said the stole it. 
I have her recorded on video, it shows her number, me calling and her saying shes taking this debt off my credit report and giving the XXXX all back. I can play it to anyone that wants to hear it.

Complaint:
First contact : automated voicemail to call debt company back I called company back to ask what this was about. I would not give my address. Company did not provide any info about debt and hung up on me. 
Automated voice called back and gave me info about who original debt was from and amount. 
I called original company and they have no record of this being my debt ( which I agree with ). 
I called debt collector back and tried to sort it out ( I did not give my address ) - they hung up on me twice. 
I called back once more and told them to send me a verification notice. Apparently, they should have sent this already ( or did I have to ask for it )? 
Waiting for that so I can dispute the debt.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I am in the process of determining if I can XXXX my XXXX. I have a friend who will likely need a XXXX XXXX very soon and he is on the list at XXXX XXXX XXXX, and as a potential XXXX I was asked to take a lot of tests. I took those tests through XXXX XXXX at the beginning of the year and I forwarded the bills I received to XXXX. 

Later this year I received a letter from Credit Collection Services saying I owed an additional {$350.00}. I called and asked for a bill that provided proof of the actual expense ( which XXXX requires in order to pay ) and they said that the original bill from XXXX had been sent to an address. They read that address to me and then acknowledged that that is NOT the address they had listed for me ( i.e. it was not my address, or any previous address ). Still, I was sent to collections for a bill that I never received and that they know I didn't receive, and I was told that I was expected to pay it sight unseen. I requested a copy of the bill and was told that they would mail it to me hard copy because while I could pay online, they could not send me documentation online. 

When I called two weeks later after still not receiving the bill in the mail, I was told that the bill was in the mail, but that they had reported me to the credit agencies. So, now my credit is being impacted over a bill that was never sent to me, that I can not verify or dispute because I never received it. I spoke with Credit Collection Services again and all they would say is that I could fix the issue by paying them immediately over the phone, despite them knowing that at no point have I had the documentation to verify the charge.

I would appreciate if this service correct their inaccurate  information, also I do not understand why Midland Funding states I owe them a debt that they can't validate under oath, the original creditor closed the account ad it's paid off. Midland Funding never loaned me any money and I do not have a contract with them. Per HJR 192 and the corona virus pandemic I ask that this incorrect information is cleared up.

Complaint:
I have a twin sister, same date of birth, first name begins with the same letter, and social security # is different by only one digit. I have pulled my own credit report in the past and never had any problems. Now that I am trying to apply for a credit card, the company has pulled my credit report. It shows my social security # but it lists my sister 's name and all of her debts and her credit score. My credit is much better than hers and I would never qualify for a credit card with it showing her debts on my file. How can I go about correcting this and why would this happen in the first place?

Complaint:
There are quite a few inaccuracies that i have tried to rectify with all 3 credit reporting bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX and XXXX ). 

1. Mainly being my previous addresses. I have contacted and disputed will all 3 bureaus NUMEROUS times over the past few years and they are refusing to fix it. I have homes on my credit report of which i have NEVER lived, or information that is being mixed in with mine from other family members. I have never lived outside of my county and i have leases to prove where i have lived and how long ive lived there. This is preventing me from obtaining credit and makes me seem unstable. I have even been turned down from a job AND an apartment because of what my credit report showed ( made it appear as fraud ). I called all 3 bureaus on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to try to update the information again. EAch time i was rerouted, or sent to a special agent that told me that ca n't change anything or remove it because a " creditor '' reported that address. Which brings me to another issue. 

2. In XXXX, for several months i sent out certified letters to each bureau and called each bureau throughout the year. I told them that i did not recognize ANY of the credit inquiries on my report. I was told by a Special XXXX XXXX Agent/Rep that i would have to submit in writing my dispute. I informed her and the other reps that this had already been done. No investigation had been submitted. No one has removed these inaccuracies and once again I was turned down for a credit loan and car loan. This is very difficult for me and I pray this situation gets rectified. It has been WELL over a year and my report remains the same. No disputes or anything further have been filed even though I have called an complained. 

I told them my next step would be to file a complaint with the CFPB, and yet they are very slothful and nonchalant in helping me. I have XXXX children and this is making it very hard to care for them!
