Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage was transferred from Freedom Mortgage to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a payment still went out to Freedom Mortgage for the amount of our monthly payment as I forgot to cancel the old recurring payment. I immediately contacted my bank who stated it was too late to stop the payment. I then tried to call Freedom, but was given the runaround with the automatic system and could not reach a person, as the system kept saying I no longer had an active account associated with my phone number. So I submitted a secure message and they responded asking for proof of transaction. I sent them this and they initially said they have no record of the payment. I pushed back and they stated they needed " further research and would respond by XXXX. ". I responded with proof of the transaction again, and they are now stating XX/XX/XXXX for even a response. This is unacceptable as I have documented proof of the transaction and they have just shy of {$2000.00} of our money that they are not giving back. Freedom has been an absolute nightmare to work with, they have already hurt my credit score b/c I never received the escrow notice that the payment went up, and I was still paying the old amount. Supposedly they called, but never left a single voicemail. Just marked a missed payment and tanked my score, even though I was still paying the old amount. 

All that to say... please help us get our money back. Freedom Mortgage has deplorable customer service and we never want to do business with them again. We will make sure no one else we know does either. 

I have attached a statement from my bank with the transaction highlighted on XXXX to Freedom Mortgage. You can see there was also a payment made to our new servicer for the same amount.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX of the year 2019, I opened an AMERICAN EXPRESS credit card account. This was a valid account linked to my bank account and all the charges up until XX/XX/2019 were mine and authorized. 

However, in XXXX of 2019, various of my accounts were stolen/hacked including this American Express card , bank account, and a new unauthorized American Express loan account was opened in my name. I filed an official Criminal Complaint with the Court in the Commonwealth of Virginia about this fraud and theft. 

I sent American Express a copy of this Criminal Complaint and a " Fraud Affidavit '' in regards to the illegal activity. 

American Express responded by denying my fraud claim based on the allegation that my bank was linked to this new illegal and unauthorized account and that I allegedly didn't notify my bank of the fraud. Which I find irrelevant and false as I did notify my bank of the fraud. And my bank is irrelevant because I reported the fraud to American Express with a valid " Criminal Complaint '' issued by a Virginia Magistrate and Court.

Company: Grain Technology, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Been signed up for autopay with this company for almost 2 years. The same issue with my payments occurred last year in the XXXX  timeframe as well to no fault of mine. 

I paid my bill for XX/XX/XXXX, much higher than the minimum payment of {$300.00}. I then get an email stating that they accepted my payment and my next bill is due on XX/XX/XXXX, which was clearly an error. I log into the site and it says for XX/XX/XXXX, there is no payment due. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, they stated my payment was late and to make a payment before my next due date, XXXX, to prevent negatively credit. This was a generous offer as the payment being late was of no fault of my own as my account is on autopay. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I got an alert from my credit report that they reported my account past due. I paid the outstanding on XX/XX/XXXX as they stated before XXXX. They did not report this payment to the credit bureaus accurately and destroyed my ability to close on my house as it dropped my score over XXXX points!!!! No phone number to call and all of my emails for remedy have gone unanswered. 

They need to correct my credit report and remove the late payment annotations on my report immediately. The same thing happened last year due to their system limitations and they resolved it as ago as possible. This year, same timeframe, my emails have been ignored. Many other clients have experienced the same issue around this time of year. 

Ive filled a complaint with the XXXX that has also gone unanswered from this fraudulent company. This is not right. I have rights and I have a right for the information on my credit report to reflect accurately my character as a consumer and they have literally turned my life upside down as Im no longer able to close on my house due to their unprofessionalism. This is unacceptable.

Accounts on my credit report have been linked to identity theft without my proper authorization, including a signature. I've already discussed this matter with your organization, and I'm formally requesting the swift removal of these accounts from my report.

Hi, I was offered to apply for a JetBlue Credit card during my flight on Jetblue and was promised I would get XXXX points if I got a credit card with them. I applied but didn't get any reward points. So it was a bait and switch. I was also not told about {$99.00} fee. Then they didn't send me any mail or notices and I got a notice my payment was past due. I never even used the card, not even once. Now they want me to pay {$99.00} and also have reported my credit to reporting agencies as 80 days past due. This is complete fraud and not only now I have to pay and it has also affected my credit. 

I would really appreciate your help so these predator banks don't keep praying on consumers like me. 

kind regards, XXXX
