Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CO)

Freedom Mortgage has ended my Forbearance and is moving forward with collections even though I have been approved and they have received payment from the HAF program. Freedom says they have to legally post notices on my door because I have an FHA loan. They have told me this twice but the HUD counselor says that is not true.They have posted this notice on my neighbors door 2 doors down by taping it to their front door with my name hand written and stamped confidential. I have told them the ACH wire number, date, and amount of the payment but they still deny receiving any payment. 

They have also sent me paperwork for loss mitigation ( that didn't need to be done XXXX of the HAF payment ) that has to be signed by the XXXX ( it is now the XXXX ) or I lose my ability to do any kind of partial equity claim. So I am stuck between them denying they have received payment, threatening me with collection notices, and giving me an ultimatum to sign these documents. 

Also by not bringing my account current I can not receive the help I have been promised for the next 2 months because my account is frozen in loss mitigation online and I can not print a mortgage statement showing that I am current and what the next payment amount is for the next month due. 

They have given me different information every time I call and I can not get any help.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card
Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (AL)

I have an account that was placed with Midland Credit Management for an XXXX credit card. On XX/XX/2017, I set up an arrangement with Midland to pay off the debt via an automatic charge of {$9.00} per month for 120 months. I have the letter here stating that they agree to these terms and conditions. 

I receive on average 4-6 calls every day concerning this debt from Midland Credit Management. It has surpassed the point of harassment. 

Today, I decided to call back and ask, " What do you want!? ". I was informed by my " Account Manager '' that my account was in the pre-legal status and that he would not guarantee that my account would " stay in his department '', which one would only assume, based on the stated status of my account, that it would be transferred to their legal team or a lawyer. I asked him if he was stating that they were no longer willing to accept my written agreement, and he stated he would not confirm nor deny, but that my account was in the Pre-Legal status and the only way that I would be guaranteed that it would not be sent to another department is if I made minimum {$100.00} per month payments. 

I consider this a threat to pursue legal action on an account that I am actively paying on, and am also harassed by them on a daily basis. 

PLEASE HELP!

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... 
I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 30 days late payments on my credit report. I have read enough to understand my rights. The TransUnion Credit Bureau is required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA. I believe theyre unwilfully noncomplying with federal law & this issue is creating a ton of emotional physical stress. Id like this matter resolved ASAP as it is impacting my health & wellbeing. Please update or remove the late payment from this account. Below is the account with erroneous information and Id like remedied ASAP.
