Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (FL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Freedom Mortgage regarding significant delays and lack of transparency in the escrow process for the sale of our property. As consumers, my wife and I have encountered numerous issues that have resulted in prolonged and unnecessary delays, causing undue stress and financial burden. 

To provide a detailed account of the events, we entered into escrow to sell our house on XX/XX/2023. A seller credit addendum was subsequently added on XX/XX/2023. Our file was submitted for underwriting on XX/XX/2023, and the buyers were granted conditional approval on XX/XX/2023. In a timely manner, the buyers promptly provided the requested proof of funds documentation on the same day, which was acknowledged by the company both verbally over the phone. Additionally i submitted the documentation requested of me the next day on XX/XX/2023. 

However, despite fulfilling all necessary requirements promptly, we have experienced a lack of communication and a dearth of information regarding the status and progression of the escrow process. When we inquired about the expected timeline to completion one week after conditional approval, we were informed that it could take an additional three weeks to attain final approval, extending the anticipated completion date to XX/XX/2023. Regrettably, it has now been 92 days since we entered escrow, and there is still no projected timeline for completion. 

Furthermore, we have been subjected to the inconvenience of repeatedly submitting third-party authorization forms for one of the buyers and our real estate agent. Despite our repeated efforts, it appears that the company has failed to maintain proper documentation, resulting in unnecessary delays and disruptions in the process. 
We believe that these ongoing issues are not only unprofessional but also potentially detrimental to the overall success of the transaction. The lack of transparency, failure to adhere to promised timelines, and repeated requests for information previously provided raise concerns about the company 's commitment to customer service and adherence to regulatory standards. 

Therefore, we kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene and investigate this matter thoroughly. Our primary objectives are to ensure a fair and timely resolution to the escrow process, obtain clearer communication regarding the status of our transaction, and prevent other consumers from experiencing similar hardships and frustrations in their own financial endeavors. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
