Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Ocwen has failed on complying with the CFPB rules on : Early Intervention ( 12 CFR 1024.39 ) A servicer must establish or make good faith efforts to establish live contact with a delinquent borrower not later than the 36th day of the borrowers delinquency.12 As clarified in CFPB Bulletin XX/XX/XXXX,13 servicers are required to make good faith efforts to establish live contact for each billing cycle for which a borrower has been delinquent for at least 36 days. A transferee servicer must begin or continue the good faith efforts regardless of whether the delinquency began while the loan was being serviced by the transferor servicer. A servicer must provide to a delinquent borrower a written notice containing certain information not later than the 45th day of the borrowers delinquency.14 A transferee servicer must comply with the written notice requirement regardless of whether the delinquency began while the loan was being serviced by the transferor servicer. Ocwen waited for two full year before contacting me about the loan even though I sent a complaint to Ocwen within weeks of the transfer notice. Ocwen has now responded and admitted to the CFPB of this error in a CFPB response that I filed on XX/XX/XXXX. Ocwen stated that the loan was not corrected to comply with a court ordered reaffirmation agreement until XXXX even though Ocwen began servicing the loan in XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen did not comply with Early Intervention ( 12 CFR 1024.39 ) but only allowed the loan to continue to get further in debt putting the debtor in more of a hardship. In my last CFPB complaint Ocwen stated that the sale of the property was placed on hold in this email : Relationship Manager XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX, We received the documents attached to your emails on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Our records show that our Research Department is currently reviewing the issue regarding bankruptcy agreement that was violated by XXXX  XXXX XXXX when they were the servicer of the loan. The research will take 10 business days but could take 30 days if additional time is needed for them to provide you with a written response. 

Also, please be advised that the foreclosure sale date on XX/XX/XXXX has been put on hold until the research is completed on the loan. 

This account has been assigned a Relationship Manager as a single point of contact. If you have any questions regarding the account or options that we may have available, you may reply to this email or contact Customer Care at ( XXXX ) XXXX to schedule an appointment with the Relationship Manager, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is your designated contact for inquiries and the submission of documents as needed. 

Customer Care is available during the following hours : Monday Friday XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ET Saturday XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ET this was a deceitful lie. I contacted Ocwen on XX/XX/XXXX to start a open conversation between XXXX XXXX XXXX the previous loan service company and Ocwen to remedy the loan. I discover the sale was not put on hold and the house was sold the next day at auction. Ocwen purchased the property back at the auction for more than what I owed?
