Company: Onity Group Inc. (WI)

CONTACT : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ________________________________________ to the BBB. Since OCWEN 's letter of resolution sent to me XX/XX/XXXX, I have received repeated letters of harassment from the ocwen regarding my mortgage even though it has been paid each and every month since XX/XX/XXXX. I have never been 30 late with my mortgage. this is intentional and emotional attempting me to comply to their modification which I rejected. I received a letter todayXX/XX/XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX from Ocwen stating I was delinquent in the amount of {$5700.00} for {$2300.00} for XX/XX/XXXX & {$2300.00} XX/XX/XXXX. payments which were prevously paid. also, the letter stated that from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX I owed {$670.00} for these months totaling {$2600.00} as uncollected money. Please keep in mind that my original payment of XXXX is what I had paying UNTIL again, I applied and rejected their modification of approx. {$700.00} a monthly increase. I have left messages for the office of ombudsman repeatedly since this time and with the exception of my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage, ( which they manually processed of {$1600.00} ), I can not get a return call. I do not owe any of these amounts. to make matters worse since the original mortgage with XXXX ( ocwen brought out in XX/XX/XXXX ), I have spoken many times with their reps attempting pay because their system keeps telling me that I must pay in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX to cover taxes each month for XX/XX/XXXX which I did. The have never paid my taxes & insurance prior to XX/XX/XXXX. I have always paid independently my own taxes and fire insurance annually w/o escrowing them.. in XX/XX/XXXX, I  discovered that ocwen paid my taxes w/o me knowing and is forcing me into the {$2300.00}. monthly this is forcing me into hardship ... also, to make matters worse, they are intentionally assessing me forXX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX {$2600.00} in arrearage into their modification which I declined. Furthermore, when I went to pay my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage the system electronically indicated that I owed {$2700.00} for month which is increasing steadily each month. This is totally extremely an error they are intentionally frauding me to pay the prior 4 month of XX/XX/XXXX while steadily increase my mortgage and threating me with letters of foreclosure and the loss of my home the letter states. which escalating monthly. this has created great threats and emotionally drained dealing with this issue. I called monthly to their system to pay only to get a different rep from another county insisting that they are correct along with repeated monthly calls. I NEED THIS COMPANY TO RETURN BACK TO MY ORGINIAL PAYMENT OF {$1600.00} AND STOP THE REPEATED LETTERS AND CALLS REGARDING TAKING AND STOP THREATHING MY HOME THRU FORECLOSURE.
