Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Ocwen claims it sold my house to XXXX XXXX via a foreclosure auction in XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX  subsequently filed an action trying to evict me in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been fighting them in court ever since. I have been represented in that action by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, Fannie Mae switched its counsel from XXXX XXXX to XXXX and XXXX. When XXXX became new counsel, they stated that XXXX XXXX and its servicer Ocwen were willing to evaluate me for a loan modification. They asked that I submit a Request for Mortgage Assistance package. I submitted a package with pages and pages of supporting documentation in XXXX XXXX. Over the next two months, Ocwen, through counsel requested additional documents three separate times. Each time I promptly provided them with what was requested. 

On XXXX XXXX,, my attorney received a letter from Ocwen ( which was dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) via email from an attorney from XXXX. The letter ( which is attached ) said that Ocwen could not offer me a loan modification because my loan was post-foreclosure. However, Ocwen and XXXX XXXX knew this all. I do not understand why they asked me to submit an entire application, and rounds of supporting documentation if they were going to deny my application for a reason they knew all along. There is absolutely no indication they ever did any sort of individualized analysis based on my income and debts. My attorney contacted the attorneys at XXXX right after she received the letter from Ocwen and told them how she did n't understand why Ocwen would say they would review me ( and ask for so many documents ) if they were going to reject me for the fact that the loan was post-foreclosure. The XXXX attorneys did not respond to her emails or voicemails. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I encountered an individual outside of my Property trying to take measurements. When I asked him why he was there, he stated that he was trying to assess the property for a pending sale. My son XXXX then discovered a listing for the Property on XXXX, which states that the Property has been under contract since an auction on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ( I have included a copy of the listing. ) I realized all the while that Ocwen and XXXX XXXX said they were considering me for a loan modification, they were trying to sell the property. 

Ocwen 's and XXXX XXXX 's actions are all the more upsetting to me because my ex-husband and I were once offered an affordable forbearance plan ( in XXXX ) and then the former servicer ( XXXX ) kicked us out of the plan because my ex messed up a payment by a penny. I begged XXXX to let us make the proper payment and remain in the plan but they refused. Neither XXXX nor Ocwen has ever done an individualized loan modification analysis, taking into account my actual income and debts, since that point and time.
