Consumer Narrative
Freedom mortgage has reported false and misleading information to all 3 credit bureaus regarding a late payment on my mortgage. No payment was ever late! ( see Freedom Mortgages attached response to XXXX complaint ) Facts are : There was a {$63.00} increase in my impound account - which was not communicated accurately to me by Freedom Mortgage.. In XXXX of XXXX I received notice from Freedom Mortgage, indicating that there was a shortage to my impound account of {$300.00}. When I spoke with a Freedom Mortgage representative, I was told that I could pay off the shortage or have it included in future payments. I paid it off on XX/XX/2021. That was that and I moved on, believing the issue was resolve. What I was not made aware of in that phone call, was that there was an additional $ 63 monthly increase. As such, I continued making my automatic bank pay normal payments of {$2000.00} on both XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. NO PAYMENT WAS EVER LATE!! As I recall, my 1st notice of the {$63.00} increase was via a call from Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/2021 stating that the {$300.00} that I paid on XX/XX/2021 did not address the impound account increase of {$63.00}. They asked me to pay it over the phone right then, but I was in a conference with a client and advised them I would try to make it later that day. I got busy and forgot about the increase payment. I was not concerned as I knew that my house payments were on automatic payment from my bank and I had time to pay the increase. Payment bringing the entire account up to date was done within 13 days of receiving notice. I never in a million years thought that this {$63.00} impound increase would result in such punitive and intentionally destructive conduct by Freedom Mortgage. It wasnt like they paid out a single XXXX or that they were forced to cover the increase out of their funds. Not only are they aware that they have caused my credit to decrease by XXXX points ( which is amazing on its surface ), but they have even exaggerated their false narrative of late payments by reporting the account as " NOT_MORE_THAN_TWO_PAYMENT_PAST_DUE '' which shows their true intent on intentionally hurting my credit. Additionally, theyve made it clear they intend to report this for the next 7 years. If thats not vindictive and punitive conduct, I dont know what is. Freedom Mortgage says they are required by law to report accurately. They are in violation of that requirement, as they have admitted they received the timely {$2000.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX, but placed it into an unapplied funds account. Freedom mortgage has deceived the 3 credit bureaus and will force me into litigation if this is not resolved fairly. I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
