Issue: Trouble during payment process
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: My wife and I have been involved in a suit against Ocwen for the third time, along with an illegal foreclosure, they have also, been crediting our account late in nearly every instance up to over 30 days late, never receiving a statement as to how they posted the checks, and playing with the numbers on our escrow. We continued to pay on the mortgage until they returned our check and would not accept any payments till the shortage was satisfied. The payments were in excess of what Ocwen originally set at the previous closing which we knew was not enough to fulfill the escrow requirements. Ocwen also would n't let us make payments on line, so when we discovered the payments going out of our checking late, we started sending them certified return receipt. Both first and second mortgage payments were mailed together. The list goes on and on! We are hoping that you can intervene and assist our attorney in settling this matter which has thus far cost us in way excess of {$30000.00}. They have kept us completely in the dark as to our mortgage, and has kept our property in hawk for the last 9 years. We have had mortgages all our life and have never been treated like this! We currently have a lawyer trying to settle this, but it seems like it just keeps going on and on. Note that our attorney has a telephone conference with them and a Judge to resolve this however they are not offering nearly enough in compensation, and we have applied for a new mortgage in order to rid ourselves of dealing with OCWEN. The time line is very close the telephone conference is on the XX/XX/XXXX and the bank is waiting on the finial appraisal. XXXX and XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I contacted Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC XXXX XXXX regarding the need for a payment program due to just graduating and seeking gainful employment. As a result, I was provided with a program and was advised by the specialist that as long as I paid the payment amount by the XXXX of every month I would not be considered late. Furthermore, my payment would reflect as current on my credit report with all three credit reporting agencies. I began making payments ranging from the XXXX to the XXXX of each month. Unfortunately, I did not discover until several months later that my payments for XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX were reported as late on my credit report. I called and spoke to several specialists starting in XXXX XXXX and was continuously assured that as long as I made a payment by the XXXX I would not be considered late and it would not negatively report on my credit report. Furthermore, I was advised that the aforementioned reported late payments would be corrected to reflect that I paid on time. I completed the payment program in XXXX of XXXX and my mortgage account has been up-to-date ever since. Unfortunately, to no avail has my credit report from XXXX, XXXX or XXXX been corrected by Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC to reflect XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX as being paid on time. I would greatly appreciate assistance with having this issue corrected. I have the names of the specialists I spoke to and the dates that are available upon request.

Consumer Complaint: I received a modification in XXXX. During that same month and the next month I had several huge unexpected expenses : medical care for my dad that was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX, water leak that caused my water bill to skyrocket to almost a XXXX dollars, college expenses for my daughter, repossession of my car which I had to get back to go to work and I underestimated my monthly expenses when I applied for the initial modification. I am now behind XXXX - present and my mortgage company wo n't help me. filed XXXX in XXXX but my attorney provided them with paperwork to be able to make arrangements with me on my mortgage. I was told several months ago that I did not qualify for a streamline modification because at the time my mortgage was not over 90 days behind and that if I had not have filed ch XXXX in XXXX, they could have put me on a payment plan.That 's contradictory because a modification is a pymt plan. I have appealed my denial but to no avail.

Consumer Complaint: We Did a Loan Modification with XXXX XXXX back inXX/XX/XXXX to a low interest ( ARM ) Interest only payment. Our Loan was Sold to XXXX XXXX inXX/XX/XXXX. We always paid on time and never had issues. In XX/XX/XXXXwe were looking to sell our Home but decided not to because we were told repeatedly by Ocwen and also confirmed with the online statements that the rates remained at a low 1.75 % interest only rate. 2 Months ago we received a letter that our rate was increasing in XX/XX/XXXX and would adjust to the current rates so we decided to sell our home. when we received escrow documents we were astonished to see that ocwen had added an additional $ XXXX in Principal to over original Balance of our loan. They added Interest payments going back toXX/XX/XXXXas well as Principal unpaid. we have layers involved but have since closed escrow because we could not afford the newly adjusted rates+ principal payments and could not refinance the loan because of the Loan to value based on their new principal amounts. we are now stuck after the fact trying to dispute with ocwen the amount and their calculations which we feel are agregeous and misscalculated

Consumer Complaint: Since the closing of my business, in 2009, which created for me much financial difficulty, I have been granted 2 separate loan modifications. First with XXXX which during this time became Ocwen. My first complaint would be the prolonging of the application process. The first took several months of a trial period payment which I paid on time each month but undenounced to me was reported as being 30 days late each month, making my once XXXX credit score to substantially lower, even though they assured me my credit would not be affected. In addition, before the first modification was granted my principal balance was {$150000.00}. and now after the second {$280000.00}. Understanding that I did not pay my mortgage periodically and that would of course be added in, and not being able to afford legal counsel, I never got straight answers or supplied factual documentation to answer my questions of how the figures added up, and then time would run out and I felt forced to sign or my house would be taken. I understand I am still in my house and I am grateful but I am upside down on my house and my credit is now damaged. After paying on my house for 15 years, I owe almost double of what I financed it for! How is this even legal, never mind fair! How is that helping??

Consumer Complaint: We have been fighting to get a modification on our loan since XX/XX/XXXX originally with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.. long story, short, they did nothing until we filed complaint with BBB and finally offered a modification, which was n't great but we did not want to lose our home. We signed, paid them XXXX that did not go to fees, principal or anything at all and for 3 months all was fine ... then they breached the modification and said they made a mistake with escrow amount and the monthly payments went up approx 2k per month, which is the amount they knew we could not afford. We ended up in litigation with a Consumer Protection attorney for 5 years until XXXX was forced to cease operating by the US Justice Dept for disreputable practices. Our loan was then given to Ocwen, of which we have been trying all over again to obtain a real modification since XX/XX/XXXX ( 11 modification packages so far ) ... to no avail. Same thing all over again. We send documents over and over ... some lost, some ignored ... then a few months ago while getting another modification, we also are served foreclosure documents. We hire a lawyer and so far have been sent 2 more modifications ... we ask 2 key questions regarding the terms and they refuse to answer, then say the modification is being " pulled '' because we did n't sign and send money immediately. How is that legal ... do we not have the right to ask questions regarding legal terms that will be binding if we sign? Our attorney had a few conferences with the Judge in XXXX XXXX County, who he says simply feels we should sign anything they give us as we have n't paid the mortgage ( which we have been trying to work out since XX/XX/XXXX) ... There is a trial date set for the end of XX/XX/XXXXand we are told if we go to trial we will lose. So we are being sent another modification package and pray we will be given anything to modify, despite all reservations about the murky terms, principal deduction, balloon payments, etc we have already been advised of. Ocwen is no different than XXXX. We understand they are being sued currently for disreputable practices by 22 states as well as CFPB. We need help. We need guidance. We do not intend on losing our home. We have been working towards a solution with XXXX and now Ocwen for almost 9 years ... the truth is that they deliberately give us the run around ... and do not ever really want to help to modify a loan. I think their aim is simply to foreclose no matter what. Please help us. We can pay a mortgage, we want to work this out and to be able to even sell in the future if need be. Right now we can do nothing but continue to let attorney deal on our behalf, but are losing faith in that too. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
