Consumer Complaint: Ocwen Loan Servicing. Where do I begin? I have been harassed by Ocwen from the duration of when they began servicing my loan. Actually I would say they are a dis-service, not a service. Recently they have started harassing me about my payment. I have made my payment on the XXXX of the month for over 5 years. I have NEVER missed a payment, yet I continue to get harassed by Ocwen. Additionally I have never been 30 days late on my payment. This even as they could not determine what my actual payment was/is as they continue to mess my loan payment up. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from them every week with a new payment amount. They could not get my escrow amount correct or figure out if my rate was increasing and to what amount. Yes I am on an ARM. I spent long hours on the phone trying to find a resolution with Ocwen.This loan was my first mortgage loan I got back XX/XX/XXXX. The property secured by the loan is now an investment property. Unlike many others I have been fortunate and been able to maintain this property and not let it go into foreclosure during the credit crisis. I am in the mortgage business so I understand how everything works. I have been a mortgage professional dating back to XX/XX/XXXX and like many others endured several hard times. I am currently a VP at another Mortgage Company. I would tell anyone that listens that Ocwen Loan Servicing is one of the most unprofessional companies I have ever dealt with. Do whatever you can to ensure your loan is NOT serviced by them, but their service is more of a dis-service.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am the widow XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the executor of his estate and rightful heir to our property in XXXX New Jersey. I am contacting you because our mortgage company Ocwen has not given us the opportunity to resolve our delinquent payments and is moving to foreclose on this home instead of working with me towards a modification or payment arrangement. My husband and I bought this home in 1996 and made payments as agreed for nearly FIFTEEN YEARS. After my husband passed away I had major health issues and ended up unable to meet my financial obligations and fell behind on the mortgage payment. I began trying to work things out with Ocwen by applying for a loan modification but have failed to make any progress. Our current interest rate is 7.75 % -- when we bought the house the interest rate was at 12 %. Our mortgage lender has collected a large amount of interest over the last 15 years, and XXXX would think they would be more willing to try and resolve this issue with me instead of moving to aggressively foreclose. Our financial circumstances have changed since we first applied for assistance. My daughter is living with us and contributing and we also have a boarder who pays a monthly rent. I am currently in review for XXXX benefits and expect that to be approved shortly, which will really help us out financially. My issue is that we are struggling and have a true financial problem and yet Ocwen has not been able to offer any possible solutions. I am aware that Ocwen received billions in government bailout money. I also am aware that Ocwen was fined by the government for unethical foreclosure practices. I am not asking for a handout, and I realize that we are very delinquent on our loan. But I also know that our lender has collected 15 years ' worth of payments and our balance is very low while our interest rate is very high. I believe that are many options to restructure this loan and put late payments back into the balance or defer them through a forbearance agreement. At this time Ocwen refuses to accept a mortgage payment and have told me the only option is to make a lump sum payment of the full past due amount. I just ca n't do that right now, but I desperately want to save my home and resume making monthly payments.

Consumer Complaint: My complaint is that our house was foreclosed on XXXX/XXXX/2016. During this time our application for modification request was in review ( as noted on the XXXX Notes ) Please take a look at the letter dated XXXX/XXXX/16 where it states Ocwen was acknowledging the receipt of the application for assistance, when in fact, this request for assistance had been submitted back on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ( Listed on the XXXX Notes ) Also, please make note as to how many Ocwen representatives touched this file -- there should only be XXXX Single Point of Contact or Account Manager working the file. Due to the fact that Ocwen is a servicer for XXXX XXXX Bank, and under the scrutiny that XXXX XXXX has been under, here is another case that should be reviewed for the discrepancies by the Servicer, Ocwen. They created DUAL TRACKING and foreclosed on this house while in Modification Review.

Consumer Complaint: We defaulted on our mortgage XX/XX/XXXX because we were going to lose our car and had to pay a large amount to get our car loan balance up to date. We applied for a mortgage loan modification with our lender Ocwen. We have been submitting modification paperwork for a year and a half. Every few weeks during that 11/2 years, they would come to us asking for more paperwork. We sent them all the paperwork they needed so many times that we lost count. And we spoke to them so many times and were assured that they had all the paperwork they needed only to have them call again and again saying they were missing documents. XX/XX/XXXX, they had their lawyer begin mediation. We gave her all of the same papers we had given Ocwen for the past 11/2 years. She finally got through to them and they recently presented us with their offer. They decided to rais our payment over {$300.00} more than what we were paying when we had our hardship XX/XX/XXXX. They told us that we do n't qualify for any of the Home Affordable programs. The loan amount is over {$160000.00} because of all their fees. Our home, built in the XXXX 's, is barely worth {$110000.00} and is in dire need of repairs ( furnace, roof, flooring, electrical, plumbing, etc ). We can not afford such a high payment. We would never be able to make the repairs neede to make it liveable. Not to mention their offer includes a balloon payment of over {$90000.00} XX/XX/XXXX. We do n't want to lose our home. Paying over {$800.00} a month on a home that is falling apart is very disheartening. We do n't understand how Ocwen could raise our payment from {$520.00} to {$820.00} and expect us to be fine with it. We believe they can lower the payment. We also believe they are being dishonest. We have until XX/XX/XXXX to accept their offer or move out. We do n't want to do either one. We ask for your help.

Consumer Complaint: I have an Ocwen shared appreciation mortgage! I received a XXXX from them in 2014 for the discharged debt with code I ( IRS code for other actual discharge prior to an identifiable event ). I have a sales contract on my residence where I was led to believe that I owe them 25 % of the appreciated value over the principle reduction! When requesting the payoff they have not adjusted the waived balance and are telling me that it is not discharged and is being added back to my loan balance and is being included 100 % in my payoff to them! They also made me send the sales agreement and pay for an appraisal so they could determine my adjusted payoff! Now they say that I had a default and I now owe them the entire balance even though they reported it to me and the IRS as forgiven debt! This is deceptive and fraudulent business practice and I am disputing my payoff! My house is scheduled to close next week!!
