Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: Credit Karma (VA)

In XXXX of XXXX I opened an online checking account with Credit Karma. on XX/XX/XXXX the bank sent me an email informing me that the company is unable to serve my financial needs, without providing any reasons behind its decision, and that the account is currently frozen and will be closed within 5 business days from the day the email was sent. 

Moreover, the bank added that any scheduled transactions will be canceled and that I will receive the remaining balance by mail or into a linked bank account shortly after the closure. 

Until today, I still haven't receive my money and I tried contacting the bank several times with no one being able to help or provide any information. It has been 2 months so far, and the account remains open and frozen and even when I request the account to be closed immediately, the bank refuses to honor my request due to the account being under review status.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: AVANTE (GA)

Since XX/XX/XXXX I have repeatedly received aggressive phone calls from Avante USA XXXX claiming that I have an outstanding balance with their creditor/parent company XXXX XXXXl XXXX with in the amount of {$140.00} and another in the amount of {$200.00}! For an emergency room visit at XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida that dates back XX/XX/XXXX! A visit in which all balances were covered by my medical insurance and the copay on my end was also paid in the full amount. As a result I have no balance or lingering accounts within either systems of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or the XXXX XXXX billing of XXXX XXXX XXXX, when I called and spoke to representatives on both sides, they had no record of an outstanding balance on file. So, for me to get a badgering call from Avante USA XXXX for a visit that occurred almost 2 years ago that was fully paid is clearly fraudulent and misleading. The validity of documentation of this balance in XXXX is highly suspicious as well! I completely dispute their efforts for collection for an XXXX  visit that was already paid for in which, I didnt even see one of the physicians that they claim Im my balance within Avantes file. I never received any notice, phone call, or communication of any other balances relating to this XXXX  visit and I would like for the account to be closed and dissolved as it is simply false nor can they provide me any legitimate verification or legitimate proof for the existence of any balance with XXXX XXXX XXXX to begin with! There are clearly a lot of instances nationwide with people fighting against being taken advantage of by Avante USA XXXX and affiliate XXXX XXXX XXXX! To top it off I dont even live in the state in which this claimed debt is owed!

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (NC)

I received an escrow analysis from Freedom Mortgage for my second home in VT. I noticed they input the wrong tax amount for the XX/XX/XXXX tax disbursement on Part 3 of the expected escrow payments for the next 12 months. The analysis indicated I had an escrow shortage of {$750.00}. I called the company on XX/XX/XXXX, and they were going to investigate it after I spoke to 4 different people. To ensure it was handled properly I also submitted a written notice of error on their website, and attached the analysis copy for their review. Additionally, I sent a written notice of error to Freedom Mortgage along with a copy of the analysis via regular mail on XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time I have received a refund check of {$72.00}, which I believe is an error. I also received a message in their website that I would receive the refund check, and my new monthly payment would be {$1000.00} effective XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I received a new analysis that now reflects another shortage of {$110.00} and my new mortgage payment would be {$1000.00} effective XX/XX/XXXX because they spread the shortage out over the 12 months. Yet, this morning before I received this in the mail, I made my mortgage payment online. The website stated my payment was only {$970.00}! So I paid it though it seemed impossible that my payment is less than before any analysis was computed. I have attached all pertinent documentation here for your review. This should have been an easy fix for Freedom by just plugging in the accurate taxes. It has turned into a bit of a nightmare since there are so many discrepancies.
