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

Complaint narrative:
This is a continuation of a prior complaint, which was not completely resolved, but was closed by CFPB anyway. There are some outstanding issues, and again, Freedom Mortgage is not responding to calls to their Customer Service Dept ... 

XXXX/XXXX/XXXX : Recd an Escrow Disclosure Statement from Freedom. Most of the info is now correct, but there is one amount that appears to be incorrect : On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, Freedom incorrectly paid {$4800.00} from the escrow account for our home, to pay property taxes on a home with a similar address. They then issued a credit on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but for the amount of {$4600.00}. Why did they refund {$200.00} less than they paid out? 

XXXX/XXXX/XXXX : Called and spoke with XXXX, who connected me with Supervisor XXXX ( # XXXX XXXX. Both were more friendly and helpful than anyone Ive dealt with to this point, and I gave them an overview of the history. I told them that we are 95 % there, but just need this discrepancy explained. XXXX said that she would get back to me between XXXX and XXXX tomorrow ( XXXX ). 

XXXX/XXXX/XXXX : Havent heard anything from Freedom Mortgage. Called them at XXXX, 17 minute call. The guy read me some ancient history about our property taxes being paid for the wrong parcel, and no refunds from XXXX County. I explain that that is not my problem ; my only concern is the {$200.00} discrepancy between what was incorrectly paid OUT of our escrow account in XXXX, and the credit received in XXXX. He doesnt know. I ask to speak with XXXX. He comes back and tells me that she is not at her desk, but he can have her call me. I explain that NO ONE at Freedom has EVER followed through on a promise to call me back. He cant do anything other than leave her a message. I advise him that Ill give her until Friday to call me back, and then XXXX file  another complaint with the CFPB. 

It is now XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, a full month since we spoke with customer service, and we 've heard nothing from Freedom on this issue.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
1. My student loans are in FedLoanServicing, account number XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was informed that my student loans were placed into deferment status as of XX/XX/XXXX. I had never requested deferment status and continued to make monthly payments. 

2. On XX/XX/XXXX I read the email and called FedLoan Servicing to see what happened. They said my loans automatically were placed in deferment because I had started graduate school. 

3. They stated that within 24 hours I would receive a form in my online account to fill out called a " deferment waiver. '' 4. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I have no form. I called again today and they stated they would expedite my request but could not give me a time frame. 

5. I plan to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness and payments made in deferment DO NOT count for forgiveness.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I had a vehicle purchased through USAA and had an accident in XXXX of XXXX. The vehicle was damaged beyond repair and the insurance arm of USAA made payment to USAA bank for the vehicle. Fast forward XXXX years, I have been accepted for other forms of financing, and was applying for a small business loan and in XXXX XXXX there is a charge off on my credit report from USAA. They had sent the account to XXXX and as soon as I was made aware, I challenged the account because I had no idea it existed. When they told me it was from that same vehicle and I owed {$3900.00} and some change, I paid the account in full. 

I then contacted USAA to make them aware that they are supposed to notify me that I had a missed payment, or even that a payment was due. They did not. They keep telling me they have records of the attempts to notify me, but I have n't moved and my address has been the same. 

As soon as I was made aware of the debt I promptly paid within a short amount of days. Had I been made aware of the debt, more than 2 years earlier, I would have done the exact same thing and paid.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On or around XXXX XXXX, I received an e-mail alert from XXXX stating that American Express reported my credit card account ( Account # XXXX ) as being delinquent or late for 30 days for the month of XXXX, which is inaccurate on account of the fact that I pay my the minimum amount due by the XXXX of each month ( the billing due date ) and I would normally get an e-mail reminder from American Express stating that I have a new bill for my account prior to the XXXX. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX on XXXX XXXX to dispute the incorrect status on my report from American Express. On or around XXXX XXXX, I received an e-mail alert from XXXX stating that my dispute results were ready ; however, I noticed that American Express has not taken the proper steps to update my credit report and provide the correct status of my account from Late to Current. I then contacted the Credit Bureau Team at American Express on XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX around XXXX XXXX and I was able to talk to two representatives on two separate occasions ( XXXX and XXXX ) who informed me that there was nothing that they could do regarding updating the status on my credit report despite the fact that I was informed by an American Express Customer Service Representative on XXXX XXXX at XXXX that I needed to contact the Credit Bureau Team to have my report updated. The American Express Credit Bureau Team representatives I spoke to on XXXX XXXX referred me back to the Customer Service Department at XXXX so they could be able to assist me with updating my credit report. Around XXXX XXXX, on XXXX XXXX, I contacted the Customer Service Department at XXXX and spoke to XXXX or XXXX who told me that I needed to call the American Express Credit Bureau Team to have the issue resolved despite my best efforts to explain that the Credit Bureau Team referred me to the Customer Service Department on two occasions. The bottom line is that I had been given the extensive runaround and no one from both departments could not resolve the issue. I have attached copies of my billing statements for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and the billing statements clearly reflect that I pay my bill either before or on the due date, which is the XXXX of each month.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Hello - I signed up for a trial of Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX but when I tried to cancel it I was put on hold for XXXX minutes and then had to hang up. I am on hold again as I write this -- so far I am on hold for XXXX minutes. I have written to their offices in XXXX XXXX, CA and XXXX, Texas trying to resolve this rather simple matter. I will attempt to attach copies of these letters. 
I seek a refund of {$24.00} and more importantly want them to stop billing my credit card. 
The real crime is amount of my time they have wasted. 
More informally, this really smells of " scam ''. 
I am considering bringing them into a local court and also notifying my XXXX Congressman and and my XXXX Senator. I have a strong suspicion these guys are routinely ripping off Americans.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Citibank thank you premier card in XXXX XXXX. My whole experience with the card has been polluted with numerous instances where my card goes under review, I call up to resolve the situation, then it goes under review once again. Often this secondary review happens within hours after clearing the card. And each time, I have to spend hours on the phone to resolve the situation. This has happened almost weekly for the past XXXX months. When I call them they make promises that theyll call me back within XXXX2 business days. To no ones surprise, that call never comes, and I have to reach out to them again, only to have the same promises made, and the cycle continues. A little more than a week ago, I spoke to a supervisor who assured me that the issues are resolved and that this wont happen again. Foolishly, I believed the supervisor. To his credit, the card didnt go under review again until a week later, the longest time the card had not been under review between reviews. Alas, however, the review came. And after spending XXXX5 hours of phone time ( mostly in hold ) with them today, holding my XXXX so I wouldnt lose service in the bathroom, I am sitting here with promises of a call back that will surely be broken once again. This is beyond frustrating at this point. And I have not even been able to use my card so I may not be able to hit my minimum spend amount required to take advantage of their sign up rewards bonus. Speaking of which, I did not receive my thank you points for the second month of spending until I had to call the thank you points line to have them adjust it. I imagine that this hold is the reason for it. I anticipate that being the case with this month, once again.
