Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have had numerous issues with Freedom Mortgage making escrow payments on time and accurately. Here are the most recent issues : XX/XX/XXXX- I called Freedom Mortgage and asked that they pay my property tax prior to the due date of XX/XX/XXXX so that I could avoid additional federal taxes. They paid the property tax on XX/XX/XXXX. Freedom did compensate me {$300.00} for this error.

XX/XX/XXXX - My insurance broker contacted me to say that Freedom had not paid my property insurance and they were concerned that I would lose coverage. I contacted Freedom and they stated that they never received a bill. We created a three way phone call with Freedom, my insurance broker and myself. The insurance company verified that they had the correct mailing address for Freedom and that they had mailed the invoice. I have had 5 mortgage companies and one insurance company over the life of this loan. Freedom is the only company that has not received insurance mailings.

XX/XX/XXXX - My insurance broker contacted me to let me know that Freedom had shorted my flood insurance payment by {$170.00}. This error leaves the property in jeopardy of not having flood insurance for a period of 30 days. Freedom stated that the lesser amount that they paid is what was entered into their system.

As a result of this pattern of errors and issues, I requested that I take over all escrow payments and the Freedom transfer all escrow funds to me. Here is Freedom 's response : XX/XX/XXXX - Operator XXXX - The insurance department does not accept emails, you will need to address this issue with customer care. 
XX/XX/XXXX - Customer Care Rep - Please email your request to customercare@freedommortgage.com. I sent my request to that address. 
XX/XX/XXXX - Operator XXXX - We do not respond to emails. Your request will be responded to via USPS within 30 days. 

In addition to the above concerns about lack of timely and accurate payments, it is clear that Freedom 's communications process is designed to obstruct consumer feedback and communication.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2018, I applied for the American Express Gold credit card online via a referral link my friend sent me and got instantly approved. The process was smooth and I clearly remembered I did NOT receive any " pop-ups '' saying I would not be eligible for the welcome offer ( as Amex customer service later claimed I should have seen ) during the process. To confirm I was eligible for the welcome offer, I even went ahead and gave a call to Amex customer service on XX/XX/2018 XXXX - they confirmed I was on track to receive the bonus and gave me an offer progress number : XXXX. 

I have spent far beyond the requirements but did not receive any of the promised rewards. On XX/XX/2018, I contacted Amex asking for why I was not issued the rewards and was told my offer was declined because of " misuse of credit card ''. I escalated the call several times and they were unable to tell me what exactly cause the " misuse ''. 

What Amex has done was very deceptive : 1. If they determine a customer would not be eligible for the offer, they should inform the customer before they conduct the credit check and approve the card. The credit card market is very competitive and customers have many choices other than Amex. From a customer 's perspective, what Amex has done is fraud. And it has gained Amex an unfair advantage in the credit card market. 

2. What is worse than not informing the customer when they applied is : to tell customers they are eligible when they are trying to meet the requirements and then tell them they are actually not eligible after they have met the requirements. I don't know if Amex is  doing this on purpose. If they are, it looks 100 % fraud to me. 

American Express posted on their website for the Amex Gold credit card : " Earn XXXX Membership Rewards Points '' and " Receive 20 % back as a statement credit, up to {$100.00} per Card account, on dining purchases at U.S. restaurants for the first three months of your Gold Card membership ''.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted SunTrust Bank ( VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX ) XXXX XXXX. I asked the bank to cancel my OverDraft Protection because I wasn't notified over the phone when I signed up for it that if your account is XXXX the bank will charge you XXXX for not have money in your account although there was NO bounced check?

SunTrust filed to case ( s ) XXXX for XXXX in XXXX, XXXX and Case XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX. SunTrust said they can not reimburse for all the transactions unless I know when the money was taken? I attempted to change my OverDraft Protection to NO from my online SunTrust account but each time it resets itself back to YES. So I asked the Clerk over the phone to cancel the OVERDRAFT PROTECTION and she said that she was unable to do so.
