Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Westlake Services, LLC (LA)

Westlake Portfolio Management has called me at least 3 times a day, 7 days a week. This is disruptive to my day-to-day. My phone is constantly ringing and its harassment at this point. The times I have picked up the calls, I have been hung up on which is a complete waste of my time. When I do connected to a caller, they are very disrespectful- talking over me, telling me not to tell them how to do their job when I state my rights to not be harassed. The caller has admitted to using robocalls as well when I said that I get hung up on.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CT)

URGENT : XX/XX/2018 : Called Freedom Mortgage as I sold my home on XX/XX/XXXX and a payoff check was sent to Freedom Mortgage and signed for on XX/XX/XXXX by someone named XXXX XXXX. Spoke to XXXX and explained that the payoff check for my mortgage was sent and XXXX XXXX signed for it. XXXX advised we sent the payment to the wrong address and we " dropped the ball '' on our end. I then immediately asked to speak to a supervisor as it has been two weeks since they signed for the check and my account was still open and they did not know where the check was. Was transferred to XXXX 's supervisor XXXX ( Employee # XXXX ). I emailed the packet from XXXX XXXX as proof someone at Freedom Mortgage signed for the check. XXXX advised she would call between XXXX EST on Thursday, XX/XX/2018. 

XX/XX/2018 : Called Freedom Mortgage as I had not received a call from XXXX. I don't remember the employee 's name from this call but Freedom Mortgage has record of this. I was told by this employee that no research or work had been done on my account and that XXXX was not in the office. I then asked to speak to a manager and was told that this employee 's manager would not talk to me but would call within 24 hours. 

XX/XX/2018 : Called Freedom Mortgage as I never received a call back. Spoke to XXXX. I immediately asked to speak with a supervisor. Spoke with XXXX ( Employee # XXXX ). I  explained my situation and XXXX advised he would reach out to check cashing to see if they had the check and it was not being deposited and if so what the issue is. XXXX advised he would call Monday, XX/XX/2018 by XXXX XXXX EST. I never received a call from XXXX. 

XX/XX/2018 : Called Freedom Mortgage and spoke to XXXX ( different XXXX ).  XXXX had given me his direct number and said I could call him. XXXX advised she could not transfer me to XXXX. I asked to speak to her supervisor and they would not come to the phone and I was advised that she would request they call me back. 

I sold my house on XX/XX/2018 and my mortgage is still open. Freedom Mortgage signed for the check and can not tell me where it is and no one in customer service has helped me or even attempted to look into this. My XX/XX/2018 payment is approaching and I should not have to pay this since I don't own the home and have paid off my prior home, however if I don't pay it, it will affect my credit and I am in the process of purchasing a new home. Additionally, I asked my billing be put on hold and no one at Freedom Mortgage agreed to do this, therefore I will still be receiving a bill.
