Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage servicer is Freedom Mortgage. They took over my mortgage almost 4 years ago. When they did, they said my insurance didnt meet their criteria and instructed me to use XXXX to get a new policy. So I did, after I purchase a new policy they informed me they had already paid the previous policy, and refused to work with me or the previous insurance to refund the money. Then they canceled my flood insurance without my knowledge. They then manipulated my escrow account so as to create a shortage, which they then raised my monthly payment over {$500.00} per month. They then kept pressuring me to refinance, at a much higher interest rate to pay off the shortage and reduce my monthly payment.
