Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
My original loan amount was {$650000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, Freedom Mortgage received {$590000.00} plus {$250.00} recasting fee that I sent them. Freedom Mortgage did two things that I believe were wrong : 1 ) They still required that I pay the original mortgage payment amount ( based on {$650000.00} loan ) due XX/XX/XXXX. 
2 ) They continued to charge me for mortgage insurance. I was charged for mortgage insurance on XX/XX/XXXX. As I understand the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, Freedom Mortgage should have automatically canceled my mortgage insurance when my my loan fell below 78 % of the home value ( mine was at 9 % on XX/XX/XXXX ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On numerous occasions, I have expressed to Experian of their violations of 1681b. Their unsound practices have placed my family and I at risk of unsafe transactions. Experian does not accurately represent the people if they are constantly furbishing inaccurate information without proof. Furthermore, I NEVER gave Experian my wet ink, written instructions to furnish any information to my credit file which is a MAJOR violation of my federally protected rights. I plan to take necessary action for each violation at {$1000.00} each. If this is not fixed in the next 30 days, I will file a suit and will follow up with an Invoice of Each Violation.

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint on XXXX I requested proof of the multiple attempts made by your company to notify me of the options to rectity my loan, which was in forbearance. I have not been presented with any options since XXXX and have not received any communication regarding the end of forbearance as an option for my loan. Please provide me with copies of the email requests and any other proof of attempts made to notify me that forbearance was no longer an option for my loan. I would like to understand the steps that were taken to inform me of this change and explore any possible solutions that may be available to me. 
This situation has been causing me a great deal of stress and frustration. I have been diligently managing my finances and responsibilities, yet XXXX 's inaccurate reporting is hindering my ability to move forward. I have tried to resolve this issue with the company multiple times, providing evidence of the forbearance status of my loans, but to no avail. 

The impact of XXXX 's actions on my credit score and financial standing can not be overstated. It is unfair that I am being penalized for their error, especially when I have taken all necessary steps to rectify the situation. I am left feeling powerless and unsure of how to proceed. 

I am seeking assistance and guidance on how to address this matter with XXXX and potentially escalate it further if needed. It is crucial that this issue is resolved promptly to prevent further damage to my credit and financial well-being.
