Consumer complaint received 2016-03-20
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Mortgage
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
I have a property in the State of North Carolina that Ocwen is attempting to foreclose on, but NC General Statute requires that the FDCPA debt letter be mailed WITHIN 30 days of the date of the original notice of foreclosure. The date of the original date of foreclosure was XXXX XXXX, 2011. I recently filed a complaint with this office stating that the appointed trustee never mailed the letter, but counsel for Ocwen responded by sharing a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2011. This letter was not within 30 days of the date of notice and therefore, I was never provided FDCPA letter within 30 days of the notice of foreclosure as required by NCGS 45-21-16 ( c ) ( 5a ). The dates are clear and as stated Ocwen and its predecessors did not follow the law and provide the required 30 day FDCPA letter in accordance to law. Owen 's XXXX XXXX, 2011 was pre-mature, outside the 30 days and contained foreclosure fees that were not yet due. Ocwen must give us the opportunity that it gives everyone else when the full foreclosure process is not followed in accordance to law.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
For the record, there was no response and negative information is being erroneously included on my credit report, as I have advised you on two separate occasions, more than 50 days and again 10 days ago The investigation took longer than 50 days This is a Direct Violation of Fair Credit Reporting ACT Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) As you are well aware, federal law requires you to respond within 30 days, yet you have failed to respond. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ) I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you on this matter, for the purpose of filling a compliant with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14 1995 ), you will be liable for your willful non-compliance. Please remove all Fraudulent accounts as I have no knowledge of these accounts due to the Equifax Data Breach/ Identity theft. All is being investigated by the FTC

I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/2020 XXXX/XXXX  Reported : XX/XX/2020 Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your e-Oscar system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, Equifax et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

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

Complaint:
This is pursuant to complaint numbers : XXXX & XXXX filed against Ocwen Servicing, LLC and, complaint Number : XXXX, filed against XXXX. 
Despite the fact that my mortgage loan servicer, Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC, was paid in full for that mortgage on that Florida home, on XXXX/XXXX/2015 by wire transfer pursuant to the Payoff quotes which they validated in writing and good till XXXX/XXXX/2015, I am the recipient of another Alert from CREDITSECURE which notes that Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC entered a negative comment into my credit report, while at the same the paid off mortgage loan amount {$170000.00} still remains in effect with XXXX. 
Does this reflect an all-out-war by Ocwen for the fact that I have contested their abuses with the Consumer Financial Portection Bureau? And what was the basis for that mortgage loan to have ever been transferred to Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC which happens to be a debt collector and which also appears to be affiliated with XXXX bank? The loan is paid for in full even with addtional interest payments and therefore Ocwen is obligated to remove it from the credit bureaus, along with the negative entries which it has also reported. Ocwen 's behavior along with the credit bureaus it is aligned with are abusing the consumers with impunity and they should be penalized for such actions.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I rented an apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX WA. They are owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Part of our rent was paid by XXXX. Months after we moved out they said we owed back rent because they sent a refund to XXXX. XXXX denies this. ( Part of XXXX ) XXXX also says we could not have moved if we owed rent. XXXX could not produce a copy of the check, the check number or date sent. They had no proof. But continued to try to collect from us. Then they sent it to Hunter Warfield in Florida for collection. I asked for verification and disputed the debt. No verification was provided. I also asked them to stop calling me, a cease communication letter. To date they call me every day. I am sending another letter to get this stopped but they will probably ignore it. They threaten to report it to the credit agencies. Owed rent is not reportable anyway but they will list it as other. Also they have not taken us to court to get a judgement. I said I welcome court because I believe they could not prove their case. They just continue to harass with no proof.

Complaint:
I am writing because I wrote the 3 Bureaus over 2 months ago and still have not received any update on my complaints with the fraudulent late payments that they have put on my account. The one company XXXX is known for putting late payments on customers accounts even when they paid on time. I never even authorized any furnishers to report any of my information which is a violation in itself and its been over 2 months with no update which is also a violation of getting back to me in a reasonable amount of time. I would like these accounts updated to paid as agreed because I never been late on any payments. If not I will have to seek litigation because they are putting in fraudulent claims and messing up my credit.

Complaint:
Had to get into a yelling match with a Bank of America Customer service in the closed account section. I was transferred very politely on the initial call, then the second representative answered, apparently irritated by her phone ringing for 15 minutes, maybe more. Yes, I did let it ring that long and yes it did take 15 minutes for an actual person to answer the ringing. Then she and I proceeded to yell over each other, after she told me she could not fix my account. I asked her to send me to a person who could, she told me she would and I was promptly hung up on. I dont think its unreasonable to ask a very large bank to stop automatic payments after your account is paid in full. And I think its borderline criminal for them to continue to do so after Ive requested them to stop, knowing full well the account is closed and paid off.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Today, XXXX XXXX XXXX, I went onto Ocwen Loan Servicing website and found that Ocwen failed to report accurately to the credit bureaus once again. I also found that Ocwen failed to update their system to reflect the correct payment information. Enclosed is a credit history letter, payment history sheet, a credit reporting sheet, a credit history sheet from Ocwen Loan Servicing website and a credit report from Experian dated XXXX XXXX XXXX. As you can see on the credit history letter, Ocwen is reflecting a " XXXX '', that there is no payment history for XXXX XXXX. Please refer to the payment history page. As you can see, Ocwen received our XXXX XXXX payment on XXXX XXXX XXXX. Also, Ocwen failed to report for our XXXX XXXX mortgage payment. Please refer back to the payment history sheet. You can see that we paid Ocwen on XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX mortgage payment. Since Ocwen received our payment in XXXX, why did n't Ocwen report for XXXX XXXX in XXXX? Ocwen Loan Servicing has failed to report accurately in the past and is still continuing to violate our rights. Ocwen keeps stating that once a dispute occurs, Ocwen freezes all credit reporting until the matter is closed. If this is true, why did n't they report accurately for XXXX XXXX a couple months later? Why did Ocwen Loan Servicing own website clearly reflect that there was no payment history available for XXXX XXXX when we did pay Ocwen in advance? This issue must be address and investigated to find out if Ocwen Loan Servicing has violated any State or Federal Laws. Ocwen has ignored our requests, to have Ocwen Loan Servicing report accurately each month and to keep XXXX XXXX in the Ocwen Ombudsman Office from providing any responses to anyone, regarding our mortgage loan. XXXX XXXX has failed to answer our questions in the past and failed to provide documentation as we requested. We will continue to file complaints against Ocwen loan servicing until they comply with our requests!

Complaint:
In regards to the registered letter I got today : NOTICE OF DEFAULT dated XXXX/XXXX/15. 
My first missed payment was XXXX/XXXX/15. As I am applying for HAMP thru Ocwen since XXXX XXXX, 2015 and I am only 1 month and 22 days late, I am NOT in Default of my loan agreement. I dispute the validity of the debt. Nowhere in my mortgage note does it say you will raise my mortgage payment {$520.00} a month. 

I applied for a RMA request for mortgage Assistance on XXXX XXXX, 2015 when my mortgage went suddenly from {$1200.00} to {$1700.00} a month. I expect to get HAMP and PRA. I am in touch with the department every single week and have been diligent about sending yet more paperwork every week to wrap up this slow process. 

I understand that the making home affordable program was created to help XXXX of homeowners modify their mortgages. As part of this program Ocwen and the Federal Government are working to offer me options to help me stay in my home. However that has not happened yet. On XXXX when I was 1 month and 2 days late on my mortgage I was sent a Deed in lieu and offered {$12000.00} to move out. I was given a 1 day notice as I received this letter on XXXX. I 've expressed that I want to keep my home. The options I 've been offered so far is to get out. 

My mailman told me that an awful lot of people in this neighborhood are receiving registered letters from Ocwen. It sounds like you are trying to do a hostile takeover of the community. In addition why are there XXXX different addresses for Ocwen in this letter in addition to the XXXX different payment addresses?

State: PA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Ocwen Loan Servicing was our mortgage service provider. Our home was foreclosed on in XXXX of XXXX and we moved out of the property shortly thereafter. There was a XXXX mortgage on the property which was NOT discharged with the foreclosure. Even though we do NOT own the property and do NOT live at the property, we continued to pay monthly on this XXXX mortgage. If we did n't pay the XXXX mortgage, our credit would be adversely affected Sometime in XXXX of XXXX, Ocwen mistakenly added an ESCROW charge to this account ( XXXX ). I noticed it when I paid the monthly payment in XXXX. I called Ocwen and spoke with a number of people, none of whom could quite understand what had happened or why, and were not really able to help with this bizarre situation. The issue was sent to a special department for action. 
Of course, the next thing that Ocwen decided to do, was to perform 'property inspections ' and a 'property valuation ', all to the tune of {$380.00}. Since the property was foreclosed on and we no longer own the property, it should certainly not be possible to charge us with property inspection and property valuation fees ; but they have. This is VERY typical of Ocwen and a few other service providers. They make a great deal of 'profit ' in assessing fictitious and, possibly, illegal fees. 
I am asking that Ocwen REMOVE these fees from our account immediately ( {$380.00} ). I have spoken to at least five separate representatives at Ocwen, and all I get are platitudes and promises to fix the situation. It is now over one year and these fees are STILL on the account. Bravo, Ocwen ... you folks are truly the worst of the worst. 
The charges that I expect to be removed from our account are listed below : Property Inspection Fee {$26.00} Property Valuation Expense {$290.00} Certified Mail Cost {$13.00} Late Charge Due {$55.00} ( caused by their 'escrow ' mistake ) TOTAL : {$380.00}
