Consumer complaint received 2022-11-22
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
In an ongoing effort to get PHH Mortgage to remove the PMI from our mortgage ( Loan # XXXX ), in XX/XX/2022 we filed a complaint via the CFPB website against PHH Mortgage ( Original Complaint # XXXX ). PHH Mortgage replied on XX/XX/2022, continuing to deny our request. Their response is attached to this new case. 

I have also attached a copy of a revised version of our original complaint document, with RED text inserted so that PHH Mortgage will see point by point where they need to review and address matters previously ignored, and/or where we are providing new and additional evidence in support of our position for their review and consideration. 

This new complaint is being submitted because : PHH Mortgage provided no meaningful response ( if any ) to several arguments/concerns we made in our original complaint. 
The Deed of Trust document has an error. PHH Mortgage provided a copy of the current Deed of Trust document with its XX/XX/XXXX response, to show that the total acreage of the property financed under this mortgage is correctly accounted for in the recent appraisal report. Upon inspection, I have found that this Deed of Trust document has a significant error with respect to the amount of acreage associated with the XXXX XXXX XXXX parcel, as explained in the attached revised complaint. Also explained in our revised complaint is the fact that the recent appraisal report does indeed neglect to account for the existence of or value of a second parcel of property financed under this mortgage. I am attaching multiple documents as evidence that the current Deed of Trust document is in fact incorrect. 
A valuable pole barn exists but its value is being ignored. PHH Mortgages response ignores one of our arguments regarding the pole bard on property. In our original complaint, we allege the current appraisal report fails to account for the existence of or the value of a sizeable pole barn on our property, which has significant value. I am attaching multiple documents as evidence that the current Deed of Trust document is in fact incorrect. 
PHH Mortgage also submitted an important document with hits XX/XX/XXXX response that is fraudulent. We paid for an appraisal as part of this process. PHH Mortgage contracted with a licensed appraiser to evaluate and determine the current market value of our property. In addition to the multiple points of negligence regarding his appraisal report, this appraiser also fraudulently certified in writing that he conducted the appraisal himself, including coming to the property, taking pictures, etc. This did not occur. 
Other arguments/concerns as noted in attached.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/19, I noticed I had unauthorized activity on my account at Citibank. On the morning of XX/XX/19, I contacted Citibank to start the fraud investigation. During that time, I was asked a series of questions. One of them was : did this charge originate in XXXX or somewhere else.

This is a fraudulent charge I know nothing about, how would I now that answer?

The agent said it's showing in XXXX, so just say yes.

I asked the agent if he knew the answer then why am I being told to answer the question myself with his provided answer. I expressed my concern that this could lead to obstruction of justice if it became a criminal investigation. The agent refused to start the investigation unless I answered.

I asked for a supervisor who then repeated the same thing, and then hung up on.

I then went to a local branch and spoke to a branch manager who said he couldn't do anything and implied I was misunderstanding the agent. So I suggested we go into his office and call on speakerphone.

We did, the agent on the phone said the exact same thing as the other 2 agents and then hung up on us again. The branch manager shrugged his shoulders and said to come back in a day or two. All the while, I'm unable to get my stolen money back, withdraw any of my money, or even close my account to prevent any other fraudulent charges.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX ; XXXX  and Transunion are reporting incorrectly lates in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, 2019 for the XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX number. ( Please see page 4 of the attached credit report. ) Month after month I called and made a payment on this account. Apparently the very first payment was never applied correctly so each payment I made was reporting a month behind. Every time I made another payment I was never told that I had initially missed a payment according to their calculation so consequently every payment I was making was actually a month behind due to their accounting error. I was never aware that I was actually making payments in arrears. Had I been informed of this I would have made an adjustment and paid an additional payment to be current with their accounting. I do not believe I should be punished with any late payments because I was never properly notified of this issue. The only communication I did receive were vague emails with no explanation, no context as to what they were needing or when to call or even WHO to contact! When I did call however, I was never able to physically reach the representative who was forwarding me the emails. I only spoke to the person who happened to answer the phone and was told to just continue making my monthly payments. Never once did this representative share with me that my payments were continually late. I never received any notification in the mail to tell me I had a late payment and I only discovered there were late payments when I obtained a copy of my recent credit report. When I saw this, I immediately went to a XXXX XXXX XXXX branch in XXXX, WA and paid the past due as well as the next upcoming payment to make sure that the account was up-to-date. By XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting these late payments incorrectly due to their accounting error, and never properly notifying me of the issues, is seriously harming my credit score. Please remove these lates from my credit report.

Complaint:
We currently have a VA loan taken out in XXXX. We applied for a refinanced ( lower interest rate, cash out ) VA loan through our current lender, Navy Federal Credit Union, in XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.
