Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (NY)

In XXXX XXXX I requested a modification of my mortgage, On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was sent a package with a payment plan for 3 months. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was informed that I had successfully completed the trial period and was sent details of my new payment plan showing me a principal and interest of {$1100.00} and an escrow amount of {$500.00} for a total of $ {$1600.00} with an interest rate of 3.75 %. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a statement with a payment of {$1700.00} showing an interest rate of 4.375 % and principal of {$750.00} and interest of {$910.00} and escrow of {$65.00}. Then on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a principal payment of {$760.00} interest of {$910.00} and escrow of {$65.00} still with a 4.375 % interest rate. Now I am receiving a payment request for {$2200.00}. 
I do not understand why the change in amounts and interest rate Initially I had a mortgage for approx. : {$2900.00} for 15 years, I was unable to make the payments on time after my divorce and ask for the modification but it appears that now over 30 years they want me to pay {$2200.00} monthly and still have the subordinate mortgage of {$77000.00} to pay. I have tried many times to have the remove the escrow and allow me to pay it my self since I was never late or missed any before the modification, but it appears they do not care and the only response I got from Ocwen was that " if I can not pay the mortgage then sell the house ''.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

After repeatedly trying to explain to XXXX XXXX that the account in question did not belong to me, the company refused to update their system and remove the car payment from my name. Despite informing them of this, they continued to report delinquent payments on my credit report and harassed me with calls regarding payment for an account that was not mine. I argued that the person who is responsible for the account should be the one to make payment, not me.
