Complaint narrative:

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have had a problem with Freedom Mortgage, in regard to my escrow account. In XXXX of 2023, I received a notice of escrow account shortage, and escrow account analysis. I immediately contacted Freedom Mortgage, spoke to a live agent, and paid the shortage. However, my mortgage payment still increased to {$1300.00} as shown in their analysis. 

I contacted Freedom Mortgage again, spoke to a live agent, who said the escrow account had not been credited properly, and who assured me he would make the correction. After this, my mortgage payment changed to {$1300.00}. 

Their formula : XXXX expects to pay {$7600.00} over the next 12 months. Spread over 12 months equals {$630.00}. {$690.00} ( PI ) plus {$630.00} equals {$1300.00} ( new payment ). 

However, if you use their formula and credit correctly, it should look like this : {$7600.00} minus {$630.00} ( escrow shortage payment ) equals {$6900.00}. Over 12 months equals XXXX. This amount, added to {$690.00} ( PI ) equals {$1200.00}, which *should* be the corrected payment. 

I have spent all the time I am going to on their voicemail from XXXX trying to get to a live person. Now I am turning to an outside agency, in the hopes that you may be able to help them take the time and trouble to correct my account. 

This doesnt look like a huge discrepancy, as it was about {$100.00} the first time and about {$50.00} the second. But, since its not being credited to the escrow account or the loan, where is the money going? Also, I cant help but wonder, am I the only person having this problem, or are thousands of others who have not noticed or taken the trouble to report it? 

At any rate, I would just like my account credited correctly, and statements to be accurate. Thats all Im asking for, and Im hoping your agency can help make that happen.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a Bank of America customer and received a call from someone pretending to be a Bank of America representative in the fraud department. Within the previous week I had two instances of fraud affecting other accounts in the same bank. This person noticed me that there was suspicious activity on my XXXX account. He told me the name of the person who had taken {$3500.00} from my account and then proceeded to walk me through the steps of transferring this money back to my XXXX account. He told me not to log into my account for 24 hrs and that he would contact me the next day to handle any next steps in reversing the fraudulent payments. So many red flags present! Had it not been for the fact that he called me while I was at work and the fact that I just had two other instances of fraud in the previous week I think I may have hung up! Bank of America has taken my report but warns me that they are unlikely to retrieve the money because it was essentially me who authorized the transfer. The crook had me send the money back to myself by creating a new contact in my XXXX that was my own information but arranged differently. It was the last 4 letters of my first name and my last name spelled backwards. Its completely ridiculous that I fell for this given I have XXXX XXXX  degrees and am tech savvy. Now when I look in my XXXX history I see that the crook connected this new contact to his phone number. I never entered this number. He received {$2900.00} and I likely wont have this refunded, per my bank, unless the crooks bank it willing to return it.
