Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One returned a {$150.00} payment on my account, but they have not provided me with any explanation or documentation. I made my final settlement payment over the phone with Capital One, where I was told that {$450.00} was required to complete the settlement plan. That {$450.00} was successfully paid and verified by both my bank and Capital One. However, the {$150.00} payment remains unverified Capital One has not explained the reason for its return, the account it came from, or the method of payment used. 

Because of this, I am uncertain whether my settlement was fully satisfied, and I am concerned that my credit report may be inaccurately showing an unpaid or delinquent balance. This situation is directly harming my creditworthiness. 



Steps I took first : In XXXX, I filed a dispute investigation directly with Capital One. Their response only stated that the balance was owed but did not answer my specific questions about the returned {$150.00} payment. 
I later filed another investigation request specifically focused on the returned {$150.00}. After 45 days, Capital Ones response was again the same the balance is owed with no explanation about the returned payment.

I have filed several complaints with Capital One management and requested either a call back or a detailed voicemail with an explanation. To date, I have received nothing. 

At this point, I feel my complaints and investigation requests are not being handled in good faith, and I am seeking CFPB assistance to obtain clear documentation and confirmation of my settlement status.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Freedom Mortgage has been increasing my monthly mortgage payment by adding {$540.00} to my escrow account for lender-placed insurance, even though I already have valid homeowners insurance in place. 

I submitted proof of my insurance coverage to Freedom Mortgage. 

On XX/XX/year>, Freedom Mortgage acknowledged receipt of my insurance confirmation. 

Despite acknowledging my valid coverage, Freedom Mortgage has continued to add {$540.00} each month to my mortgage payment, claiming lack of insurance and I am expected to pay the Escrow the next month. My next payment is showing Escrow as well. 

This has resulted in inflated monthly payments and unnecessary financial hardship. 

I believe this is a manipulative practice. By continuing to charge me for escrow despite proof of coverage, they are effectively holding my money without paying interest, then later returning it while claiming it was a mistake. 

I am requesting : Immediate correction of my mortgage account and removal of all improper escrow charges.

Refund of all excess payments taken.

Assurance that this practice will not continue.
