Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
MY mortgage was paid off/ transfer on XX/XX/XXXX. Freedom mortgage is still holding XXXX} in loss draft and have not released it. It has been six weeks and many phone calls with no help. Customer service has sent 3 emails requesting the money be released and returned. On XX/XX/XXXX the insurance department notified loss draft that Freedom no longer controlled the money and it needed to be transferred. As of today XX/XX/XXXX, customer service notified me that loss draft still had the money and they were emailing/ requesting the money be released. I spent 45 minutes with them. I started with customer service and was told I need to talk to loss draft, loss draft told me I needed to talk to customer service and transferred me back to customer service, they told me I needed to talk with loss draft. I explained loss draft had sent me back to customer service. Customer service then sent another email requesting they release the money. My understanding is that not one of the previous emails has ever been responded to. Each call assures me that the issue is being addressed and I will be receiving my money so I can in turn pay the contractor the remaining amount on the repair completion. Six weeks since my loan was satisfied with Freedom Mortgage and they are still holding my money. At best it will be another two weeks but I have no hope of that happening. All work is completed on my home and the contractor is waiting for the rest of the money. I am responsible to make that payment even when Freedom Mortgage feels they can hold my money. I informed each person I spoke with tonight that it was my last call with them and I would be filing a complaint because nothing was getting done at Freedom Mortgage to correct this.

Complaint narrative:
HI Transworld Systems Inc ( TSI ) ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

I appreciate your effort in getting this matter resolved. Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information from me to block this information from my credit report. Thank you.
