" If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. Collection activities and communications that do not otherwise violate this subchapter may continue during the 30-day period referred to in subsection ( a ) unless the consumer has notified the debt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion of the debt, is disputed or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor. Any collection activities and communication during the 30-day period may not overshadow or be inconsistent with the disclosure of the consumers right to dispute the debt or request the name and address of the original creditor.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (MD)

I began the process of refinancing my home with " Freedom Mortgage Company '' on XX/XX/2021. After submitting ALL the documents requested by Freedom Mortgage, the company was negligent with the handling of my loan. They would ask for the same documents over and over again because they would pass my loan to several agents within the company. As a result of this process, seven months has gone by and TWO appraisals and one termite inspection that I paid for expired. Freedom Mortgage requested that I pay for and submit a THIRD appraisal and SECOND termite inspection. At this point I am cutting ties with Freedom Mortgage and requesting to be reimbursed for the money spent.

Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (IL)

Ive been a loyal customer of BOA for about 3 years. On XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX, Bank of America had a worldwide technical difficulty that caused payments to not be received or sent. I linked my Bank of America debit card to my XXXX account and proceeded to Add Cash in two separate transactions of {$400.00} and {$460.00} totaling up to {$860.00}. Once I submitted for the payments to be sent to my XXXX, NONE of the payments appeared onto my XXXX account! The money was taken off of my BOA account but never made it onto my XXXX account. On XXXX XXXX, I contacted XXXX and they said they seen NO HISTORY of the transactions. XXXX suggested that I call my bank and get the money reimbursed because they werent able to see any transactions of it on their side. I was surprised because the money was still taken off of my Bank of America account. On XXXX XXXX, I then called BOA and they filed a dispute, but gave all type of excuses not to reimburse me of the transactions. My transaction to XXXX got lost in the crossfire of Bank of Americas website having technical issues. My money was never retrieved, nor was provisional credit issued from Bank of America! They told me 90 days until it can get resolved. Thats ridiculous!! Im currently late on rent because of this situation. BOA is always having major website/app issues that puts customers money at risk. I need my money reimbursed now! I wish the customer service was more helpful and considerate of peoples money.
