Company: Receivables Outsourcing, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I would like to dispute two things with the medical collection agency Receivables Outsourcing. I first tried to verify and validate the debt with them via a third party company. In return, they sent an itemized statement that included personal details of the charge. This alone is a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ). Therefore, I sent a letter to Receivables Outsourcing on XX/XX/XXXX, 2017 stating the following : " I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission for them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization. Therefore, my request is twofold-validation of debt and HIPAA authorization.
<P/>
Please provide a breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges.
Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you.
Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me. '' I have yet to receive a response from this company and the collection debt is still listed on my credit report making a negative impact.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint:
Ocwen took over my loan XXXX XXXX. My mortgage has been a total nightmare since. 

The most latest issue is as follows : Please find attached documents for your review ). 

I was approved for the Florida Hardest hit fund ( HHF ). Monies were actually funded and posted to my loan on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in the amount of {$50000.00}. 
Ocwen sent me a " MODIFICATION OF PROMISSORY NOTE '' which I signed and had notorized. As you can see by the attached document, Ocwen 's Loan Servicing had XXXX persons sign this same document. Promissory Note is entered into XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
Based on this Note, I started making my monthly loan payments, P & I then add in my escrow, which is {$120.00} for XXXX. 
All of sudden, Ocwen is sending me Default Notices. As you can see by my PAYMENT HISTORY from Ocwen 's Website, my payments are made per our contract, each and every month. Payments are due on the XXXX of every month, I have a grace period up to the XXXX of each month. I live of Social Security XXXX, only, each month. 
Ocwen continues to put my Mortgage payments into a Suspense account each nmonth, rather than posting to my loan. 
Ocwen is now claiming that I owe them over {$2500.00} dollars. They have never changed the payment amount in their system to reflect what is on their contract. 
Now, Ocwen claims the 'MODIFICATION OF PROMISSORY NOTE '' Is 'NULL & VOID '' How can that be? It is my opinion that we agreed and entered into a legal contract together. Now they want to back out of this contract. Can they legally do this? Is it considered to be a legal & binding contract? If so, how can I get them to realize this and change the figures in their system. I have been working with their account Representative " XXXX ''. Her supervisor finally got involved and he escalated it to the Modification Department who states they can not honor this contract since they are claiming my loan can not be recasted. Before the HHF money posted to my loan, I owed approximately {$120000.00}. Then after the monies were posted to my loan my Principal went down to {$75000.00}. 
What Ocwen is doing, is making me pay my monthly loan payments based on thel old balance. I am requesting that the contract of XXXX XXXX, XXXX be honored and the payments are to change according to this contract. Why do I do next? I can not afford an attorney. HELP!!!! I will have no place to live if Ocwen takes my loan into Foreclosure. I pay every month .... 
Your assistance is much appreciated.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
The XXXX XXXX organization sent my account to a collection company, XXXX XXXX of XXXX VA, without billing us directly. My family of XXXX has lots of XXXX medical issues in the course of a year, and in every case, we always pay our bill immediately, or in exceptional cases make arrangements to pay extremely large bills over a series of installments. We have a high deductible medical insurance plan, and routinely we pay over {$6000.00} in medical costs until the deductible is met, and when the deductible is met, our insurance faithfully covers the remainder. We use our local XXXX XXXX 6 or 7 times a year, at least until now, and we have never had any issues, and our credit reports demonstrates that we do n't have issues with anyone else. We first became aware that XXXX had sent a balance to collections with XXXX XXXX of XXXX VA XX/XX/2016 when my daughter required medical care. Naturally, as soon as we were informed that anything was outstanding, we paid the bill in full immediately at the front desk of XXXX XXXX. We contacted the credit bureaus about the matter, and naturally the erroneous information was " confirmed ''. This is an abusive practice and I can not fathom what business purpose it serves to take ordinary receivable matters in turn them into inappropriate collection practices.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We have our mortgage loan with Seterus. In XXXX 2016 we requested to have our escrow account closed. They closed our escrow and sent us our escrow surplus but did not adjust our payment amount to reflect principal and interest only. When we paid our XXXX 2016 and XXXX 2016 payments, it was not enough to satisfy the PITI amount, and put it in a suspense account, resulting in us getting charged a late fee of {$20.00} for both months. We called Seterus and asked them to adjust our payment amount and to credit back the {$41.00} in late charges.

Complaint:
A few months after Ocwen took over the servicing of our mortgage in early 2012, I began receiving junk mail ( mostly credit card offers ) in the mail almost daily. Ocwen is the only account I have that still includes my ex-husbands name on it, so it was n't hard to figure out who was sharing our information as every letter is address to XXXX us. I opted out by mail AND fax every chance I had when presented with the option, but the junk mail continues to pour in to this day. It 's a terrible waste of resources and needs to stop.

Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I visit us collection in person for the fact being I noticed they where reporting on my account after trying to reach them by phone serval times.

They went on to say they where not aware of the judgement and my previous apartment complex didnt inform them of that matter however they still intended on collecting on there balance and the previous judgement that I brung to their attention. No one in the office wanted to explain to me why they have the right to try to collect double of what my judgement was stating. So I filed a dispute with my credit bureaus. Just got the dispute back now its even more on the balance. This company is not reporting correct information and I need to speak to someone about this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
I am currently in the process of purchasing a house in New Hampshire, I was told a few months back to try to dispute any inaccurately reported accounts on my credit report to help improve my scores prior to locking in a rate. The on-line dispute section of the major credit agencies was very confusing and difficult to navigate and as a result of my challenges I inadvertently disputed a short sale ( an account that closed in XX/XX/XXXX ) I contacted the credit agencies of my error and that I wanted to retract my dispute but a report from the creditor had already been made. I was told that I needed to contact the creditor and have them correct the " last reported '' as XX/XX/XXXX as the " last reported '' date now shows XX/XX/XXXX. The repercussions of this last reported date is major, what resulted is that when my loan goes to electronic underwriting through XXXX, the software THINKS that since this was report in XX/XX/XXXX that I 'm " CURRENTLY IN FORECLOSE '', and subsequently disapproving my loan. Under the instruction of the credit agency Equifax & XXXX I contacted the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX to get help to resolve this mistake. XXXX XXXX XXXX was more than willing to help and was understanding of this error. Their credit corrections department called to the highest level at Equifax and XXXX & XXXX and tried to electronically change that " last reported '' date to reflect XX/XX/XXXX, they even went so far as to supply me with a letter that reads " The " last reported date of XX/XX/XXXX is an update that was requested in error. There has been no activity on this loan since it closed in XX/XX/XXXX '' signed by XXXX XXXX Servicing-Office of the President XXXX. Here is what XXXX was told by Equifax " they explained to me that it could n't be removed ( embedded software programming ) ''. I also reached out to Equifax by phone and fax and to XXXX by phone spending hours on hold and explaining my situation to several managers at various levels, ultimately at the end of those calls and faxes, I was told by both Equifax & XXXX despite the creditors letter, their calls, my calls, my faxes, that they are refusing or " unable '' to change that last reported date to XX/XX/XXXX. Without this correction my family of XXXX kids are going to be effectively homeless if this change is not facilitated by the XXXX credit bureaus to reflect the last report date of XX/XX/XXXX. My loan flatly will not be approved without this correction. I am happy to supply the letter from the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX and provide contact information for XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Respectfully, I would ask you please, please help me to get this resolved as quickly as possible.
