Part of the pride of home ownership is also the pride of making mortgage loan payments on time.

We had heard of Predatory Mortgage Corporations. We were careful in choosing XXXX XXXX XXXX and had no say in the transfer of our mortgage to a predatory mortgage corporation. 

We request that Freedom Mortgage Corporation credit our escrow account with the {$360.00} that appears on our XXXX XXXX XXXX 2015 statement, ( attached ) ; instead of the {$200.00} that appears as an escrow balance on the Freedom Mortgage Corporation XXXX XXXX, 2015 online statement, a variance of {$160.00}. 

We request that Freedom Mortgage reimburse us the {$25.00} XXXX Stop Payment Order fee.
