Complaint: Simply put, we were " OCWENed ''. OCWEN told us not to make payments while we were going through their in-house modification program. AFTER we applied, we were notified that OCWEN does not modify second mortgages. But you know what OCWEN does do, they will foreclose on a second mortgage, which is exactly what they did.
My bride and I were out of the country when OCWEN se nt us certified letters, notifying us the foreclosure they were pursuing. We never received those letters because how long they were in o ur PO Box , co nsequently those letters were returned ( which is on record ). But we did receive an eviction notice in XXXX , afte r O CWEN was actually successful with foreclosing on our home.
Wrapped up lawyers expenses, destroyed credit, and unable to get a credit card or refinance our first mortgage, OCWEN is slowly financially killing us.

Complaint: With great emphasis, I reiterate my need and legal right to see the copies the XXXX ( ones that was given ou t ) from XXXX - XXXX . I unwaveringly reject and disputed the validity that ( XXXX ) XXXX was the only XXXX given in the time frame of XXXX to XXXX scope in your XX/XX/XXXX CFPB response ( " In addition, XXXX forms will only be issued in the years where funds were received and there were there is interest to report '' ). The IRS does not requir e Ocwen to report the amount of Taxes paid " but '' New York State ( NYS ) d oes for income tax requirement " since you do operate within the state '' ; and this is a NYS Tax property issue, and New York is one of the states that you do service, and yet Ocwen fail to provide any Tax statements. Ocwen botched basic functions like good accounting and record retention policies for up to 20 years as required by regulatory best practices. This is a another shortcut ( with eleven communications and counting since XXXX XXXX ) to i nvestigate my compliant with runaround and false blanket statements, without fully disclosing the mistakes Ocwen made servicing my account with faulty information. When you find the errors on your information and ways - " Only XXXX '' XXXX vs " More '' XXXX symbolic to " Not In '' possession vs " In '' possession of Tax History prior to XXXX , ( when a fulfilling solution or delivery is put forth by Ocwen the end result is always holes in its solution or disappointment ) this is Ocwen ever-changing status or contradictions and failure to take accountability. How can anyone trust the integrity of Ocwen 's flip-flopping behavior? I am vetting your information you 've provided and finding many serious problems. I believe the IRS and NYS would disagree with your information - ( " only XXXX '' XXXX or XXXX ). I do not think you would get a confirm on this, as there are more XXXX . Your data is faulty between XXXX to XXXX , and it should be double verified from XXXX - XXXX ; and I am very disturb regarding XXXX to XXXX . I believe your system payment history is compromised and lacks the correct workflow feed to Tax history payout XXXX - XXXX . Thank you for your CFPB response dated XX/XX/XXXX case # XXXX . However, after carefully reviewing the letter several times this is obviously nothing less than a smear campaign to cover the struggles of my request and compliant. There are still several important issues that have yet to be addressed, and I have yet to hear an answer regarding the issues below. Please revisit your inaccurate and incomplete information carefully. THIS IS A FAIR REQUEST. 1. In correct and/or misleading info ( eg. " Not in possession of history '' ) - ever- changing status or several contradictions verbally and written, even within the Ombudsman offi ce ; 2. No communications from appropriate departments, persons, etc., and the being given the endless runaround we are now in XXXX XXXX ; 3. Failure to provide any accurate periodic statements detailing how tax charges applied ; 4. XXXX 's inability to tell the truth or to be transparency in the investigation ; 5 . The constant infliction of frustration by evasive tactics to confuse me ( the consumer ) -seemingly strategically deceptive and purposely confusing from XXXX to present ; 6. Volu minous and immaterial data and intricacies, all while engaging in a ceaseless and needless back-and-forth with XXXX from XXXX to present ; 7. Speaking of and making reference to prior servicers ' record retention policies - an action that should have never been resorted to in my estimation, as seen by the example in place by the regulatory body in the aftermath bad behavior by XXXX XX/XX/XXXX actions to XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX . It seems like Ocwen has mishandled my account without full accuracy and completeness, overlooking vitals details ; 8. Resorting to " third party '' Tax history sources as a solution to my specify request, which makes it apparent that Ocwen will tell anything so just to make you go away ), because the " third party '' record does not show who paid the mortgage. This is typical Ocwens shortcut, and the information should come from its own proprietary management systems ; 9. Incorrect and delayed XXXX coupled with non-communication while connected to Ombudsman office, which disaster could of been avoided, contained or mitigated by filing my XXXX Income Tax ; **** Jus t on the aforementioned points alone, Ocwen should take responsibility and pay penalties for its manipulative behavi or. **** Ther e is also the issue of incorrect XXXX information. If XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Consumer Account Analy st ) would have returned any of communications ( voicemails, fax and email messages ), I strongly believe, as stated, that the disaster could of been avoided, contained or mitigated. By filing my XXXX Income Tax, that caused Tax problems with Ocwens inaccurate information on XXXX and the delayed after XXXX / XXXX / XXXX tax day. I had no knowledge of this unti l Ocwen 's CFPB letter of XXXX , and without filing my CFPB compliant I would not have any knowledge of this action, I have not received any notice from Ocwen 's Tax area or any other department regarding this major error. I tried persistently and diligently to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX only to encounter the same systemic and cultural misconduct ( circular and evasive tactics to confuse m e ). I have communicated eleven ( 11 ) times or more with four ( 4 ) departments and five months, but the result has been the same, even in Ocwen 's Consumer Ombudsman office. Truly, I expected better from the largest nonbank mortgage loan servicer - biggest does not mean better. Th e four ( 4 ) engaged department at Ocwen o Research Department o Consumers Advocate Department o HRD Mediation Team o Consumer 's Ombudsman Office There is also a bright line prohibition against servicers engaging in unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices related to mortgage servicing activities. Several time s Ocwen retra cted their initial statements, and took no responsibility for the harm caused. This has been the case even in the Ombudsman office by managers. Furthermore, it warrants mentioning that, in my case, Ocwen has been engaging in the same behavior for which it was fined hundreds of millions of dollars in XX/XX/XXXX , along with other institutions such XXXX , XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX and other governing entities by the Independent Foreclosure Review ( IFR ). I also received a settlement from a class action suit in XXXX for this same extremely deceptive conduct, which is a flagrant violation of proper best practices, procedures and regulations. This is my third time having to filing with CFP B ( Big Brother ) f or help since XXXX . See below cases : XXXX XXXX Class Action Settlement - Ocwen 's violations on thousands of their customer accounts *** XXXX CFPB case # XXXX - XXXX 's Preemptive Foreclosures and Manipulations with the same as above included XXXX CFPB case # XXXX - Ocwen 's comingled customer accounts by breaking yet another violation this time " Privacy Act information ''. Ocwen has been a repeat offender with its practices and violations of regulatory standards and has not reformed. And yet, here we are again at this junction of time. Truly deja vu Significant damage has been done here. I have made multiple complaints of Ocwen 's deficiencies. The inaccurate information given by Ocwen when interacting with them ; and they have been logged and reflected in the event of my journal. How can a established corporation get away with this kind of communications?
Ocwen 's policy handbook seems devoid of the definition of " escalation ''. Escalation Relationship Manager '' is apparently an empty title for are policy only, with no active proactive procedures to adequately resolve the complaint or escalate the call for investigation. Ocwen has also failed to send us any accurate periodic statements detailing how Tax charges were applied, leaving me in the proverbial dark ( to this current state issues ). This kind of treatment is belligerent. This is the 21st century and regulatory practices demand that the money trail be followed. This is a regulatory violation. Finally, am I the only customer with these Ocwen systemic violations, or are there any voices out there to say " Ocwen failed miserably to adequately investigate and respond to complaints? Without the strong arms of CFPB and FTC being vigilant, the playing field would be characterized by utterly unfair treatment of the consumer in dealing with big financial corporations like Ocwen. It would be unjust for XXXX XXXX , now XXXX XXXX XXXX , to have been penalized back then and for that reason, while Ocwens reckless and repeated bad behavior goes unpunished ( as they systematically and continually violate best practices regulations regarding complain ts ). T hese regulatory rules are designed to be fair for both companies and consumers. No Consumer should have to go through a nightmare like this. Ocwen continues to be defiant to remediate the problem, or in other words stop the bleeding it has caused with its behavior. I need accurate information for Tax Property Reduction & Disability Exemption data from XXXX - XXXX for XXXX XXXX ( her XXXX status for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). To move forward with this inaccurate, and incomplete information by Ocwen to the next level of Tax reduction and exemption without vetting the details would have been a huge embarrassment and catastrophic several times worse than the XXXX and regulatory practices failures all together.

North Hollywood, CA
Complaint: I currently have a mortg age with a variable interest rate ( ARM ) serviced by OCWEN Loan Servicing, LLC, which happened to adjust around XXXX of XXXX increasing the total monthly payment amount by {$83.00} to {$3200.00}. Over the years on two separate occasions, Ive attempted loan modification thru OCWEN in hopes of a better fixed rate but to no avail. That said, in order to ensure my monthly obligation to OCWEN, I have an auto-pay setup thru XXXX XXXX XXXX . Unfort unately, due to an extensive travel schedule in XXXX and XXXX I was away from home for most of those months. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the increase and consequently my payments for XXXX , XXXX and XXXX were each short by {$83.00}. Once I became aware of the oversight, I IMMEDIATELY made a payment for the balance and brought my account current. Why wasnt I notified? Why did n't OCWEN notify me by phone that my account was approaching delinquency ( 30 Day s Late )? A tri vial {$83.00} short? Consequently, OCWEN reported to the credit bureaus for all three months as MISSED PAYMENTS ( 30 Days Late ). The FACT is, those payments were NOT MISSED nor LATE. OCWEN accepted each paymentand even sent email confirmations acknowledging receipt of each PAYMENT ( note : the email confirmations did not specify PARTIAL payment but rather, PAYMENT RECEIVEDleading me to believe as I traveled, my affairs were in order ). Lastly, OCWEN chose to hold those payments in a suspense account rather than any number of other optionsall over an {$83.00} shortage. I am a responsible business owner who relies unequivocally on my credit worthiness and am incredibly concerned at this point. I understand and furthermore respect the integrity and the basic underlying policy of servicers reporting those who blatantly disregard their responsibilities and under no unique circumstances, do not make any effort to bring their accounts current. However, this is not one of those situations. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Burea u ( CFPB ), it appears two of the three ( 30 Days Late ) reports to the credit bureaus ( XXXX and XXXX ) are in VIOLAT ION of the CFPB Rule XXXX - Early Intervention Requirements for Certain Borrowers Live Contact Rule. The rule states as follo ws : 1024.39 Early Inte rvention Requirements for Certain Borrowers - Live Contact : A servicer shall establish or make good faith efforts to establish LIVE CONTACT with a delinquent borrower no later than th e 36th day of the borrower 's delinquency and, promptly after establishing live contact, inform such borrower about the availability of loss mitigation options if appropriate. Due to the unique circumstance, had OCWEN abided by the CFPB Live Contact Rule and in good faith contacted me via a simple phone call no later than the 36th day, I would have gladly brought my account current and made the necessary adjustments to my auto-pay. Therefore, at the most I would have been a few days delinquent past my 30-day grace period. However, I received NO CALLS! I was not provided the REASONABLE and FAIR opportunity to be informed of the shortage in my payment. I was not made aware of the situation until early XXXX . As a result, I am left to deal wit h ( 3 ) consecutive ( 30 Days Late ) ma rks on my creditresulting in a total drop of my credit score b y over XXXX points. This is simply UNFAIR!!!. Im hoping OCWEN will consider our long lasting relationship and realize Ive been faithfully making my monthly payments since XXXX . Consequently, I would ask OCWEN to forgive the mistake and have all thr ee ( 30 Days Late ) mark s removed from my credit report. The payments were made as scheduled. Had I received a simple live contact phone call as specified in the CFPB Guidelines, I would have appreciated the opportunity and paid the trivial {$83.00}. That said, at a minimum, both ( 30 Days Late ) reports for XXXX and XXXX are in VIOLATION of the CFPB Live Contact Rule and therefore not valid. I respectfully ask and hope XXXX will honor my request. I imagine the CFPB Live Con tact rule was designed and put in place for this very reason. People travel much more these days for both work and leisure and therefore have come to rely more and more on technology including mobile phones as well as paperless statements, email notifications on account status and payments, etc. Its not only reasonable to expect mortgage servicers to adapt and to make these types of services available in order to better and more fairly communicate with its borrowers. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to your reply.

Complaint: Recently, Ocwen has come by my home to photograph our property. While I know this is common they do it more than necessary. If we have n't made a payment they are driving by photographing our home before 30 days. Most recent event has me feeling very concerned. They actually came onto my property while my kids were home alone and photographed our boat, and cars in the driveway. My daughter was very upset. Adding to this Ocwen w ill send letters stating we are at risk of foreclosure before the XXXX and more letters before the 30 day mark. They do n't only send me a letter they sen d 2, then they send 2 certified letters I have to sign for then they charge me for this almost every month. And this months statement does n't say what the XXXX fees/other charges are for. Waist of paper and money. We are behind on payments and when I ask to make partial payments throughout the month they decline stating the computer would n't recognize it and apply it to the principal instead of the monthly payment. I had set up a phone meeting with Ocwen, th at they email confirmed, for XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX but they never called and still have n't.

Complaint: I submitted a request for mortgage assistance/ modification in XXXX 2017 to Ocwen Mortgage Compan y . A t that time, no foreclosure date had been established. I received a letter from Ocwen requesting additional documentation within a reasonable period of time. I submitted the documents as requested. Suprisingly, I received a deficiency notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX 201 7, esta blishing a foreclosure date o f XXXX XXXX 2017 a t XXXX XXXX . To date ( XXXX /17 ), m y Ocwen Mortg age online account indicates I have a pending modification in consideration. Ocwen intentionally mislead me to believe I was in the process of saving my home. At the same time I received the foreclosure notice. I ca n't believe Ocwen would offer me assistance and pull the rug out from me without evaluating the documents i submitted. Ocwen is in gross violation of RESPA 1024.41 loss m itigation regulations relative to the improper establishment of a foreclosure date with a pending modification in process.

Complaint: I have two rental property mortgage loans with Ocwen Loan Servicing. For much of the past year, I would mail my payments at the end of the month always adding extra to payment to cover the late fee. They would never apply the late fee, instead placing the extra portion of payment into a unapplied account. I did n't make payments online because I was trying to avoid their XXXX XXXX XXXX payment fee they place on internet payers. My accounts showed 30 days late for sometime. One of my properties, they came up with around {$500.00} of extra fees, of which I paid last month. The other property of mine, they are accessing {$1000.00} worth of fees. The other property is a home that was destroyed by renters years ago. I have completely gutted out the house, there is only wood framing inside. I 've slowly been renovating it. I went to the house to retrieve a washer/dryer in storage and found that Ocwen had locked me out. I called the number of their subsidiary that locked me out and they immediately gave me access to the house. They told me that the loan appeared to be current. In the process of lockout, the company damaged my garage door with a grinder ( cutting off my lock ), they stole a gallon of bug spray and a tarp that I had covered over a washer/dryer. They placed winterized stickers on toilet flange and drain pipes sticking out of walls. The house is mainly down to wood framing with nothing to be winterized. I 've been slowly in process of remodeling the house, I had some construction material near a room I began sheet rocking. For some reason, they moved those items to a stack of new sheetrock I had on floor. The stickers where dated XXXX XXXX, 2017. It was less than a month later that I realized this happened. Ocwen is generally very unhelpful with questions and has terrible service. I did place a complaint to their website. Their customer service rep contacted me regarding these issues. She was the only friendly person I had ever spoken with at Ocwen. Unfortunately, she was not able to help with any of the fees. It was pretty much out of her hands. Ocwen 's standpoint was that since the property was vacant and I was 30 days late on payments that they had every right to lock me out and charge secure and maintenance costs. All of these fees related to my two mortgage loans are just forms of legal extortion. It 's morally and ethically wrong for a business to practice in this manner.
