Complaint:
When I struggled to stay in my home in 2010, my primary mortgage holder HSBC was almost impossible to deal with. In the end, I believe all I received was 10 years added to the length of the mortgage and I was not given a low interest which would have been of more assistance. I was also not informed that I may have a looming HELOC crisis on my second mortgage. I feel I have been misled by HSBC and defrauded by XXXX

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
ILLEGAL RETALIATION & EXTORTION Federal Law entitles a consumer to file a complaint with CFPB if a financial institution engages in financial malpractice against the consumer. I exercised such right and filed complaints against OCWEN LOAN SERVICING , LLC recently. 

OCWEN agreed to correct its records and give me due credits only after I complained to CFPB. However, OCWEN retaliated against me for filing the complaints with CFPB as follows : 1. Following my complaint to CFPB in XXXX regarding OCWEN 's illegal charges of {$140.00} in my account, OCWEN credited my account for {$110.00} and denied the remainder {$25.00} ( EXHIBIT XXXX, attached ). In the process, OCWEN cancelled accrued modification incentive on my account ( EXHIBITS XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, attached ), but failed to identify and assign other eligible incentive as it proposed in EXHIBIT XXXX despite request that it do so. It is noteworthy that HAMP programs have incentives built in for consumers. 
2. In late XXXX, I filed another complaint with CFPB providing substantiating evidence that OCWEN illegally charged my account for the {$25.00} it had XXXX refused to refund. OCWEN, in turn credited my account for the {$25.00} XXXX EXHIBIT XXXX, attached ). However, OCWEN retaliated against me again by doubling my outstanding balance from {$2300.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement ( EXHIBIT XXXX, attached ) to {$4600.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement ( EXHIBIT XXXX, attached ), thus precipitating an artificial delinquency even as scheduled payments were made to OCWEN on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in keeping with an agreement I reached with OCWEN following my Loan Modification as evidenced by the history of my previous payments ( EXHIBIT XXXX, attached ). 

There was no past due payment amount and there is no past due payment amount contrary to OCWEN 's notation in EXHIBIT XXXX. Such entry is an illegal fabrication and purely retaliatory and nullifies California Law that gives the consumer at least 10 days from due date to pay mortgage loan without any penalties. The retaliation is intended to artificially induce financial hardship, enable OCWEN to declare delinquency, charge late fees and foil my satisfactory execution of terms of the loan and ultimately threaten foreclosure.

Complaint:
Ocwen aquired my loan from Littion loan in XXXX 2013. I paid lotion loan for XX/XX/XXXX and revive a letter that I was in default with Ocwen for not paying XX/XX/XXXX payment. After a lot of frustration I paid Ocwen for XX/XX/XXXX as well. Three months later I revived a notice that my loan was in default for nonpayment. The payments I was sending went into a holding account and late fees were applied. I reinstated the loan with the amount Ocwen said was due fees and charges etc. After reinstatement three months later I received a default letter that said my payment were being held in a holding account fore there was an unpaid balance from Littion loan. I do n't understand why when I reinstated the loan the fee was n't included. After 10 months due to a death of my wife I cashed in my XXXX to reinstate the loan once more. At this point it 's impossible to refinance to get away from Occwen because they distroyed my credit. I rienstated the loan again my first statement had a balance of XXXX when I asked why was n't the amount included in reinstatement amount they said it was a baleance left over from Littion Loan. They will not accept a payment unless it 's certified. When the loan was reinstated for the 3rd time they automatically withdrew the monthly payment from my checking account on the XXXX of the month. They say I set this auto payment up but it 's impossible i never did. Now I have no more saving to reinstate the loan and I have paid them XXXX majority of fees and late charges. I am completely helpless I do n't know how a company can get away with this kind of service. They ruined my life I ca n't even get a credit card.

Complaint:
I explained that revolving credit has a time frame. In return to my response, the reset date of all my debt was XX/XX/2013 versus a removal and an increase in my credit scores. XXXX XXXX XXXX : The final result was a verbal conversation with a customer rep from XXXX to inform them that all debt has to be erased on all revolving accounts due to being opened in XXXX. I have paid and it was not properly reported. The account is accruing interest, which is being reported, not the debt that was paid. Thus it requires removal from my credit report.

Complaint:
I have been attempting to use the hardship program with community bankXXXX credit card, since XX/XX/2016. I keep getting the run around and feel taken advantage of and disrespected. The company continually gives me false information or lies to me. I have called time and time again and they are not doing anything to assist me in resolving my problem. They just keep trying to get me off the phone and to wait longer. What is the problem? There needs to be regulation. My request is that I was told that I was supposed to have a hardship back date to XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Late Fees need to be removed after 3 on time payments. I have been making on time payments every month since the auto payments were set up by the representative in XX/XX/2016. I was told that was the only way to be in hardship. I keep seeing that my credit report was showing late it said XXXX 30 days, XXXX 60 days, XXXX 60 days, XXXX 60 days. Finally in XXXX on the XXXX I spoke to XXXX ID XXXX she said XXXX was personally working on my account and would call me back ... She never did.. XXXX ID XXXX same day said the history needs to be back dated to XX/XX/XXXX. She said XXXX already was removed and {$130.00} will be removed in XXXX and {$20.00} more in charges and {$8.00} more in finance fees. She said the XX/XX/XXXX statement would show {$45.00} in late fees removed and {$21.00} in interest removed. They said I had to make 3 on time payments to have the rest removed ... this is their error I have made all on time payments since my account is on auto draft, I do n't know what part of that is hard to understand. XX/XX/XXXX spoke to Aeramis XXXX @ credit report needing corrected, she said she is escalating the issue and may reflect in XXXX or send a letter, Neither of these has happened. XX/XX/XXXX Spoke to XXXX XXXX he said the new statement on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX will reflect a refund of fees {$130.00} and the other money was from another department so he ca n't see about it, he said the is doing an escalation about my credit report. XX/XX/XXXX called again because new statement does n't reflect any refunds either. XXXX XXXX had a very rude tone on the phone said it wo n't reflect until XXXX. Transferred to XXXX who again said XXXX her number is XXXX. I asked her about the escalation that XXXX said he was doing on XX/XX/XXXX she said did he transfer you to a supervisor? I said no she said then no escalation was done. She said she does n't see any records of any escalations. I asked her why people there keep lying to me? Why does n't anyone care? I do n't understand how this company is being allowed to do this or scam people. I should n't be treated like this as a consumer. What can be done to stop this??????

Complaint:
This is hurting my credit score which is very important to me. I know you will understand me in this situation this is becoming a frustration to me. I don't know what's happening to my credit report and I don't how you guys come up to this conclusion and report it on my credit report. This is very stressful for me because I always pay on time. Under 15 USC 1666b this billing error must be corrected because I always pay on time this is clearly a discrepancy on this account which clearly violates the 15 USC 1666 ( b ). Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated in the law.
