I contacted Ocwen explained that husband was release from loan liability with GMAC. Ocwen asked for divorce decree and quit claim deed which was sent. Modification packet resent without ex-husband name, completed by me with only my financial information, processed by Ocwen and modified. Modification included " cancellation of debt '' reported to IRS. However, the reporting to IRS is for XXXX of us. Should be only me as the account is only in my name per Ocwen. Told could modify loan with only my information and that his name was still on loan and that I need to assume the loan. Sent in requst for assumption as directed by Ocwen with appropriate documents ( divorce decre and quit claim deed ). Received letter acknowledging receipt of docments which " transferred account from XXXX names to my name and to contact them regarding release of liability.
