Consumer complaint received 2022-09-27 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
We were in XXXX. Upon coming out of it in XXXX XXXX we applied for the HAF and have been approved. We owe {$72000.00} and Georgia XXXX approved and sent {$50000.00} to my mortgage company. Here is my issue. I spoke with Freedom Mortgage at the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX. They told me that if we were approved for the {$50000.00} in HAF funding that the St. of GA required us to pay the balance of approx. {$22000.00}. They said GA is a reinstatement only state. ( I found no documentation of that ). They told me I had to wire the money to them and then it would take a couple of weeks for the funds to be applied to our mortgage balance. Then on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX ( I have her direct dial # ) called and told me we were approved for the full {$50000.00} and she was sending it to Freedom Mortgage and it might take a few weeks for them to apply it to our acct. I said that was different from what Freedom told me. Which was the St of Ga required to us pay the balance in full ( the money from the HAF and the balance that was left ). XXXX told me she was sending the money and what we did with the balance of what we owed was between me and Freedom Mortgage. I read the documents I signed with the state and the information on the GA HAF website. There is nothing that says Georgia requires the loan to be fully reinstated before they will apply the funds to our mortgage acct. I verified the {$50000.00} posted to my mortgage acct on XX/XX/XXXX. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX at Freedom. I gave them all of this info and she said they would check into it with her mgr.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Friday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial immediately after receiving the news of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in XXXX. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I was a pell grant recipient and am therefore eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I paid close {$4300.00} in payments. 

It seems as though edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, aidvantage are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until XXXX at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in XXXX. 

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
The fraud is that this service does not work. I did what I was supposed to do : I set up an account, and a relative sent me {$2000.00}. These are badly needed funds, that I need for vital living expenses, and I am well over XXXX miles from this relative. Venmo took the money from my relative, but will not transfer it to either of my bank accounts or to any of the three debit cards that I used. They have no right to advertise that it they readily facilitate transfers when they are in fact hanging on to my money. I told them to return the money to my relative so that we can use a reliable service, and Venmo is refusing to do this. All they did was send an irrelevant auto reply email linking me with irrelevant articles. Then, a person from Venmo emailed me and said that the fastest way to unfreeze the account was to provide information that she thought the other email asked. However, the other email never asked for information, and in any event, they have no right to be hanging on to my money. I have never had a Venmo account, and so it can not be any problem with any prior account. Moreover, they only have very limited hours to talk to somebody. CFPB should heavily fine and shut down this rotten, scamming Venmo!!!
