Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2022 my wife and I received an escrow disclosure statement from our Mortgage servicing company -- Freedom Mortgage, XXXX, IN. The statement determined that our escrow account had a surplus of {$1000.00}. A check was enclosed to reimburse the funds. The letter then stated that in order to address the escrow imbalance they were going to adjust our payment with an increase of {$12.00} per month to rectify the imbalance going forward. I called the customer service number and had 3 different conversations regarding this payment increase. After going round and round for almost three hours I was connected to the " escalations department '' that handles difficulties with customers at a higher level. The representative was a man named XXXX. He seemed more reasonable and understanding of my issue and stated that he would forward my case back to the escrow department for review and then get back to me the following week. It has been almost 2 months since that conversation and we have yet to hear back from Freedom Mortgage. I have 2 complaints : 1. Increasing my payment even though I had an escrow surplus, and 2. not giving me any option to adjust the escrow in order to keep my payment the same. I have encountered this similar problem in the past dealing with escrow imbalances and we were given the opportunity to make adjustments to keep the payment the same. Being senior citizens on fixed incomes we resent being bulldozed by a loan servicing company that manipulates borrowers with slippery slope payment increases. Please investigate this matter.
