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

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I received a letter stating that my mortgage payment was being increased from XXXX to XXXX per month due to an escrow shortage of XXXX. I spoke with a representative who stated that if I paid the shortage in full, my payments would not increase so, I paid the shortage in full. After paying the shortage, the company still raised my payments from XXXX a month to XXXX the following month. I went into my account last week to pay my mortgage and saw that it was raised from XXXX a month to XXXX a month due to an escrow shortage of XXXX. I called the mortgage company and was told by the representative that my payment last year was never applied to my escrow account. When I asked what happened to the funds, I was given no response and was told in so many words, that I had to pay the penalty for their employee 's incompetence. I tried to explain that this year 's increase would have me paying double the amount of the shortage, but was met with a non-caring response by the representative. I have never had this issue with any of the previous mortgage companies, and my gut is telling me that this company is purposely misappropriating their customers funds for the purpose of increasing mortgage payments. I don't feel that this is a fair practice, and I think that they are trying to prey upon retirees on a fixed income and eventually take our homes. There are already far too many of us on the streets as it is, we don't need a company trying to make more of us homeless. Will someone please look into this? The company is Freedom Mortgage. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX

I noticed on XXXX XX/XX/2022 that there was a bank debt transaction in the said amount. I called Regions Bank customer service to dispute this transaction and was told that it would be reported.

I called customer service again on XXXX XXXX and was told by someone named XXXX in XXXX, TN. That I wasn't going to get a refund because of a pattern of me using the same ATM in the past.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I have spent well over a dozen hours on the phone with this company over the last 4 months trying to get to the bottom of my loan modification. They have collected payments and misapplied them. They have threatened me countless times with adverse actions even though they can not accept my payments for my loan. Then they ask for several months immediately in order to avoid more adverse actions. If I didn't know any better, I would think they are trying to force me into foreclosure! 

I am still after 4 months waiting for this to get clarified and to find out just how much money they want to extort from me now and what it will take to finally get current on the loan they took 4 months to process. 

Now they are showing me past due 60 days and 3 payments... they have 2 payments as " unapplied funds. '' They can not tell me what they have done with the payments I have made other than " just wait and give it a few days. ''

I disputed the personal loan with all three credit reporting agencies. All three came back with the result that the loan was verified as mine, however the loan balance was then brought down to {$0.00} and the account was closed. The loan is still on all three credit reports and has a derogatory mark of payment being 30 days late. I want this to be completely removed from all three reports as it was opened fraudulently.

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied online on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX for car loan through carvana.com and the application was approved. With a {$5800.00} down payment I spoke with one of the customer service representatives. I stated to the customer service representative that the down payments are not included into a finance charge under, Title 15 United States Code Section 1605 ( a ) The finance charge does not include charges of a top payable in a comparable cash transaction. The finance charge shall not include fees and amounts imposed by third-party, closing agent, including settlement agents attorneys in escrow and title companies, if the creditor does not require the imposition of the charges, or the services provided, and does not retain the charges. 

I explained to the rep that the down payments are not a part of the consumer credit transaction and are illegal and against the law. when she replied with a rude response then the conversation abruptly ended. 

It is to my knowledge that they are not exempt according to 16 CFR section 433.3. 

They declined me the option to finish the transaction without the down payment.
