I have been harassed by their telemarketers. About two weeks ago I received a text asking for addition information on an application I never filed. I did not answer. Then then phone calls started, approximately two per day. I have stated to stop calling me, they persist, They interrupt me and don't listen they are rude. Trying to stop the calls is nearly impossible. I do not need or want their services.Initial Complaint

I received a phone call from ************ and the person that I spoke to asked me if I was trying to open credit in *****. He did not identify where he was from.He transferred me to *********************** who said he was an Experian investigator.**************** then told me that he would shut down my credit cards.He told me that he had all my information. From what he said it appeared that he did have my information [details on my open credit cards].I clearly stated I would not give ANY information to a person on a phone call. From what I can surmise *** ****** had a credit report from his reciting my card numbers and balances.As follow up I did two things.I called *************** where I have a credit card. This was one of the cards that **************** specifically mentioned.Synchrony said that THEY would close the card and replace it with a card with a new number.I then thought, I will call the phone number that called me. I did that and the outgoing message at that number was Freedom Financial.I looked up Freedom Financial and they are a debt consolidation company!!The Consumer Financial ***************** received 120 complaints in 2022 about Freedom Debt Relief I have never looked into Debt Consolidation and have very defiantly never considered this as a possibility. Again I will state I do no want **** Consolidation and I want *************** to cease calling me immediately. I have since reported three of my credit cards lost at to stop this invasion of my private financial affairs!I will be 75 years old in November of 2023 and this phone call terrified, frightened and left me very scared. I will repeat I did not request and do not a Debt Consolidation Loan I have checked my credit report at Experians website and will continue to monitor it. I also will try calling because I noticed a Charge *************************** ******************** ************ ************************************Initial Complaint

Freedom Financial is a large conglomerate of companies built off hurting, gullible people taken advantage of/lied to in their time of need/support. Signed with them in April, 2022, being very ill after nearly dying, came to my home with pitch they will handle everything, negotiate all settlements and restructured agreements telling me to make no paymenys on these accts..only to them. Shortly knew not so, in that they made No calls to 6 creditors until Oct. when 3rd entity (Crossroads Financial - 2nd their bank)approached me w/ full settlement arrangements because I was "chosen" for their program. Very weary but agent fully sold all the great advantages. In short, all 6 accts were settled from 10/31 to 12/20/2022 with my signing loan agreement on 11/6! Imagine that! Preliminary agreement, although I only received a copy of it on 3/13/2023. 8ve never received an updated agreement, final Truth-in-Lending disclosure or even a phone call from them but started taking payments out in Jan. 2023. I pull a credit report and behold a new company I've never heard of (Freedom Fin.) named Achieve showing balance only $820 lower than initial debt enrollment. Being of much sounder mind, I now see where this is total manipulation and lies. Large fees added to each settlement, 4.9 origination fee, **** interest (which isn't terrible). The problem is the deceitfulness, manipulation, in my opinion illegal disclosure of final loan agreement and transfer of loan to another company (one of theirs). One more twist, I found out through my bank that all withdrawals have come through Freedom Financial (including Achieve). Freedom Debt Relief and Achieve. So many names, manipulations, lies...During this time I was 100%disabled from Social Security. I feel lied to! Any assistance in helping someone else not be deceived would be greatly appreciated .Initial Complaint
