Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Way back in XXXX, 2023, my realtor and short sale coordinator submitted a short sale request to freedom mortgage. They deny ever getting the request. 

I filed for bankruptcy hoping to get some relief. It temporarily stopped the foreclosure in may and moved it to XXXX. The bankruptcy was dismissed because of an clerical error that the judge blamed on me. Anyways, so we again, submitted the short sale offer to freedom in XXXX. At which point they agreed to delay sale to review. A few months went by and we changed short sale coordinators to use first title integrity at which point we needed to get them approved on my account to speak about the short sale. 

I personally had to call freedom and beg to postpone the foreclosure again because for some reason they were not responding to the short sale offer. Finally after having first integrity approved to discuss my account with freedom, XXXX said they never received a short sale offer and/or the loss mitigation forms and such. Weird right. 

So they said they would review within XXXX weeks. That was a lie, it took them a lot longer to review. Finally just last week they came back and said they would need one of the liens on the house to be paid off before they would review the short sale. 

So we came back and said the buyer would be willing to pay off the XXXX, but they would like this in writing that the bank would accept the short sale if the XXXX was paid. 

What was freedoms response? They will not reschedule the foreclosure this time which is within XXXX hours. They gave us an offer and XXXX time to enact on the offer. This has been the hardest bank to deal with. Its an FHA loan, their money is protected either way. They should be begging us to do the short sale so they get most of their money back plus the interest paid over the last 8 years. 

Poor communication on their end and it took them 3 months to pull title records. Now they want to auction my house under me while we have an offer in place that they legally should review but are refusing to.

I was told at the bank that this was done through some sort of online process. 

Chase Bank did credit my bank account for the dollar amount.

If this was an option I could have declined this transaction, and no money would have been taken out of my bank account.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
First, this is a note for CFPB ; this company was not actually imitating a lawyer or anything like that, there just wasn't an option for anything else. 

On or about XXXX, XX/XX/2023, I received a phone call from a phone number, XXXX and the Called ID showed up as " XXXX XXXX. '' Now, I answered the phone because I was actually supposed to have a call from a doctor about that time. When I answered the phone, the person asked me to confirm that I was me, but didn't identify themselves. He then said he was going to transfer me over to a provider, and the transfer took all of a second, which seemed a little strange to me and more like they just handed off the phone. The other person then started talking, and at this time, I realized both of them had an XXXX accent, and it seemed a little weird. At this point, I asked who she was and she was with. At this point she identified herself and said she was with Midland Credit Management. This is when I hung up. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, specifically, 15 USC 1692e ( 10 ) and 15 USC 1692e ( 14 ), as well as the Arkansa Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, specifically, ACA XXXX ( 10 ) and ACA XXXX ( XXXX ), strictly prohibits debt collection agencies from using any type of deceptive practices to try and collect a debt. Because this call was extremely deceptive in nature, it is believed that Midland Credit Management violated the aforementioned articles of federal and state law. Each law affords a civil liability to the offender in the amount up to {$1000.00} per offense. It will be my intention, if this issue is not addressed by the company with 30 days, to file a claim in court for violations of federal and state law, as well as seek relief for each section violated. 30 days from the time of this filing will be XX/XX/2023. 

At this point and on this day, XX/XX/2023, I demand that Midland Credit Management cease any and all communication and collection efforts, to include but not limited to ; emails, phone calls, letters, post cards. Any communication, other than response through this filing, or an offer to settle this matter, will deemed as a further violation of the Federal Debt Collection Practice Act and Arkansas Fair Debt Collection Practice Act.

Complaint narrative:
Today, I am writing this complaint to PRINCEPARKER regarding the incorrect information on my account. I sent them a letter requesting for investigation of those account mentioned, they took more than 30 days to complete and they stated that they have completed the investigation. However when I pull my recent report I don't see any changes made at all. They claimed that they verified the information but how come that it is verified when the date of last activity, date opened, date of last report. 
payment history and status are inaccurate? This is not right. I understand my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A which states that I have the right to privacy and 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2, which also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.
