Freedom Mortgage - Freedom Mortgage holding money hostage
So a few years ago Freedom Mortgage bought my Mortgage from Veterans United. I qualified for a VA rate adjustment at some point down the road and they were very helpful to set up a payment system where I am paying money every two weeks shaving years off the amortization schedule. The problem arose when we had water damage to my house during a storm. After getting the insurance figured out, there was mold involved which made things tricky, I had a large check which was going to be used to pay the final contractors to put the house back together.
The check was sent to me, I signed it and sent it to Freedom because it was large enough to require the involvement of the mortgage company. The problem arose when they kept moving the goalposts and demanding more paperwork, more inspections, and more reports. After nearly two months of providing them with everything they finally cut a check, for less than the originally cited amount. I was told the amount was less because they withheld money which had already been paid. They said if I wanted more money I could either give them an itemized list, down to the nails, of every penny I am asking for or get an inspection at my expense to confirm the work hasn't started.
Freedom is holding my money hostage and making every step of this process impossible. I cannot stress enough to get as far away from this company as possible. The only reason I am still with them is my 2.25% APR. The scariest part is their inability to tell me what they are going to do with the extra money once we are done.
