Complaint:
THE FACTS : 1. I defaulted on my GMAC mortgage payments XX/XX/XXXX due to job loss. 
2. Now bankrupt GMAC ( superseded by OCWEN Loan Servicing LLC later on ) issued a repayment plan. 
3. I complied with repayment plan - paid all requested amounts to GMAC through XXXX XXXX for 8 month. 
4. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GMAC approved my Mortgage Modification Request and set the monthly payment amount based on new loan amount that contained all the default amounts from previous months. 
5. I have been making payments every single month starting XXXX XXXX without missing a single payment and without being late till Present, all according to GMAC/OCWEN requirements. 

Now, comes XXXX XXXX, and more than 5 years after my Mortgage Modification with GMAC I am suddenly informed by OCWEN that I am past due 7 month?! 

Even assuming that GMAC/OCWEN were not calculating monthly payment correctly or having any other reconciliation errors - it is still not acceptable consumer lending practice to suddenly inform the customer about 7 months default and engage in behavior that OCWEN is engaging ( when all I did is complied with their requirements at all times for 6+ years ), namely : Start charging me late and other fees, as shown on your recent statement. 
Refusing to accept my regular payments that I have been paying for years. 

OCWEN 's Customer Service is in XXXX and I can not get any meaningful answers from there. Meanwhile OCWEN is pushing to foreclosure. So I had no other choice but to apply for additional Mortgage Modification with OCWEN ... and now am waiting for them to approve it. 

It has been a month of them supposedly " researching '' but meanwhile they are charging me late and " other '' fees and pushing for foreclosure. So far I did not get a meaningful documentation and accounting on the loan according to Section 2954 of the California Civil Code ...

Complaint:
I recently applied to my mortgage lender, Wells Fargo, to have PMI removed from my monthly mortgage payment. I paid Wells Fargo {$100.00} to have a Brokers Price Opinion performed with the understanding that since I had not made any structural improvements the LTV % would need to be XXXX % of the BPO or lower. When the BPO came back, I was at XXXX % and there was no letter attached stating my options. I called WF and asked about the options. They explained the options including that if I did nothing the PMI would be removed when the LTV hit XXXX % of the BPO which would be in XX/XX/2017. A few days later I received a letter from WF with my options and the above option was not listed. I called today to get clarification and they now say that the option explained to me was not correct. I want them to live up to the option they described on the phone!!!

Complaint:
Hello, This is not the XXXX time I have submitted a complaint about OCWEN home loans but this is enough! As of right now they have people coming out to the property address and taking pictures. 
I have submitted docusments for a modification and I still havent gotten any word from them. I tried calling several times and cant understand anyone who answers the call. Its impossible to understand what they are saying except they are transferring my call and it disconnects. I have had it! Not only are they not sending us any of our information- this violates ALL consumer laws. Nothing has been sent to us except a big packet of paperwork showing they send everything to our previous address. I am not getting XXXX shred of documention. 
I requested a modification and they legally are supposed to work with us modifying before they foreclose ... however someone coming and taking pics of our property is usually a sign that a foreclosure is near- we have not been notified- or given paperwork or a chance to save our home. I am sick about this. I work for a lender and this would NEVER happen or we would have been sued over and over again. Ocwen needs to get their stuff together, I cant contact them because its a dead call and I tried to email them and got a return email. I am at a loss as I cant contact anyone and they are trying to foreclose on a home that was violated by many laws as well as RESPA- years of paperwork hasnt gotten to us.

Complaint:
We XXXX have attempted XXXX Mortgage Modifications with Wells Fargo. We have been lied to, tricked, cheated etc ... The XXXX application was approved, our monthly payment was increased and we were promised XXXX, that 's a disgrace. XXXX Mortgage Modification attempt we were denied because we were current on our payments. As soon as we applied for this XXXX Modification Wells Fargo placed a For Sale sign in front of our home. We applied for the Modification because we were in danger of default, this is XXXX of the reasons to apply for a modification. XXXX Mortgage Modification, Wells Fargo requested document after document and then Foreclosed on us while in Modification. We saved our home with an emergency Bankruptcy which stopped the sale 5 minutes before it was to begin. The XXXX Mortgage Modification attempt we were denied, Wells Fargo added over XXXX in imaginary income. Then said we did not qualify because of our income. 1 year later Wells Fargo said that they made a mistake on our income but they never rectified it. We then sought the assistance of Keep Your Home California. They instructed us to call Wells Fargo for Modification and Principal reduction documents to fill out. The representative of Wells Fargo started yelling at me, yelling that Wells Fargo was not going to send me any such applications. Keep Your Home California instructed us that we could do this later. Wells Fargo received XXXX from Keep your Home. We understand that a Bank can charge a small fee for a Modification, but Wells Fargo paid themselves XXXX for administration fees, they stole XXXX from the Federal Government and from us, in this usual trick of theirs. Wells Fargo called the help Keep Your Home California gave us a Modification. According to Keep Your Home it was not a Modification and that now I can apply for the Principal Reduction and Modification. Wells Fargo is now in the process of selling our Loan to another Bank. They approved sending us the documents for Principal reduction and Home Modification we requested but reneged on us saying to ask for this Principal reduction and Modification from the future new Mortgage Holder. Wells Fargo has caused us to suffer a great deal with worrying, despairing, sleepless nights etc ... We are XXXX years old and Wells Fargo has not shown one iota of cooperation. If anything the total opposite. We can bear their injustice no more. One last thing, Wells Fargo forced us to pay twice for the month of XXXX, 2014.

Complaint:
M & T Bank refuses to call me back regarding my request to modify my home mortgage and remove PMI. I 've followed their requests to pay for an appraisal of their choosing, and when the appraisal was completed I received an autonomous letter signed " Sincerely, Insurance Servicing ''. When I call the only number provided, there is no choice for the topic of my inquiry, and I have had to spend excessive time navigating the automated system that has no mechanism to direct me to a human M & T representative. When I go thru an option that is not why I 'm calling, I finally speak to a customer service rep who is not even allowed to provide me their complete name. They have no authority, they just put me on hold and eventually I speak to a person who just reads me back verbatim what is contained in the autonomous letters signed XXXX XXXX. When I ask to speak to someone in XXXX XXXX, I 've been told it 's not a department. I 've never felt less regarded for my business and my existence as a fellow human being. I 've been waiting two weeks now for someone with direct knowledge of the letter 's I 've received to call me back and discuss my account. M & T has no regard for me as a customer, and I would never recommend doing business with this bank.

Complaint:
I have been diligently working on a loan modification for the last 2 years. I fell into a hardship in XXXX and was working with the bank for assistance. I hired a XXXX party to guide me through the detailed modification process. We provided all the requested documents and stayed on top of deadlines. After a year of working directly with the bank they denied the modification. I then had fallen into foreclose status which I was trying to avoid. They advised me to apply for XXXX. I have applied twice with the program, once in XXXX which was denied and again in XXXX. I was approved this last XXXX XXXX for assistance. XXXX provided the bank with the approval. I met all the requirements XXXX needed to assist me and get my loan back in good status. They bank needed to modify my loan for the assistance to be accepted. This would have brought my loan current and a lower payment so I could start back making payments. The bank refused the assistance stating that the home had too much equity and they advised me to sell and pay off the loan. I am a single mother with XXXX children that live full time with me. I was granted the house through my divorce in XXXX. I had maintained this responsibility up until XXXX when my XXXX older children became of age and my child support ended. I am XXXX and the economy hit at the same time my fund were reduced. My hardship has improved and I would be back on top with the banks approval along with the government assistance. I have a lengthy paper trail of my commitment to keep my home. I was been advised by the bank every step of the way. Every option they asked me to follow I did. I have spent a solid 2 years consumed with following their direction. I find it unfair and unethical that they will not provided the help that I have proven with documents that I qualify for.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
In 2014 I transferred service within XXXX XXXX XXXX communications from a traditional landline/internet package to a XXXX package. I was advised by XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time that my new bill for my new package would be prorated for the number of days left in my billing cycle that I had that account and that the remaining prorated balance from my previous package would be included. I have been informed by a collections agency, ( Enhanced recovery ) that I have a balance with them for an unpaid bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$61.00} for said service. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX about this, they stated it was a final bill for a closed account. I explained that the account was not closed by me and that the service was transferred. The agent indicated that they could see I was a customer in good standing and have been since before 2014. They indicated that the balance was not transferred before the account number was changed over to the new account number for the XXXX package and that this caused the issue. They told me to call Enhanced Recovery to request the debt be removed from my credit report. They also told me that I could pay XXXX XXXX XXXX directly for the amount owed. I asked if they could provide proof that I owed them this money and they could not because it was in collections. Once I called Enhanced recovery they indicated that I could pay them for the debt but doing so would not remove the issue from my credit report. They advised that only XXXX XXXX XXXX could do that. It is not my fault that XXXX XXXX XXXX did not bill me correctly and by their own records they show that I have paid all bills fully and am in good standing. XXXX XXXX XXXX has not yet provided proof that I owe them this amount nor have the addressed that it was their billing process error that resulted in the collections action for a bill I should have and did n't ever receive.
