Consumer complaint received 10/20/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (CA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: This is a second Case Opened based on a recently Closed Case : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX over our Loan Servicing in XXXX. At that time we had an Interest Only rate that the previous Mortgage Company ( XXXX ) had modified for us to a 1.75 % interest Only rate. 

in XXXX The Rate was supposed to adjust ( Although we were unaware that it became a 5 yr ARM as the original Loan was a 10Yr arm ). we signed a temporary Rate adjustment while our Youngest son was undergoing XXXX XXXX ( He XXXX XXXX in XXXX ). During this time of the adjustment my wife and I were separated physically because our son was hospitalized and I was the only one that signed the document, We went to Sale our Home in XXXX and during this process I reached out to Ocwen to see what the Interest Rate was and was told it remained at the adjusted Lower rate. All the online statements stated this fact and all the statements we continued to receive in the mail stated this, we were never notified of an adjustment and everything we saw or received stated the same ( The 1.75 % rate did not change ). I just had assumed it was through the 10 yr period which the original Interest only Loan was set at which would have expired in XXXX. 

Had we been told the rate was adjusting to a new higher Rate back in XXXX we would have sold the home at that time or refinanced the home. 

2 Months ago we received a notification that the rate was going to adjust in XXXX XXXX so we took steps to sell the home ( And sold-Closed Escrow in XXXX XXXX ). Just prior to closing escrow we received a document from Ocwen stating we owed for XXXX XXXX yrs of unpaid interest ( That we were never notified about until just recently ). This amount is around $ 140k. 

Had we been made aware of this way back in XXXX we would have taken much different steps with this home. Because of this we are not only losing our life savings we originally put into this home but we now can not afford to buy a home in the city we live in. 

I noticed a Judgement against Ocwen in XXXX XXXX by XXXX regarding Ocwen 's incorrect statements for its customers? This is the primary reason we are in this mess right now. They admitted the Systems issues and stated they made mistakes on their end. There has got to be some sort of way to resolve this and not put the entire blame/burden on us the consumer. 

I 'm not denying that I signed a temporary rate decrease by the previous Mortgage company that managed our loan. This was done out of the graciousness of XXXX 's Management and we were entirely grateful. My primary complaint is we trusted the information that we were being provided and made decisions based on that information we were given to us by Ocwen for a XXXX XXXX yr period ( Of online statements and Verbally over the phone ). they must have some sort of responsibility in this. Our family and finances are devastated by this. 

I have online transaction history, phone records, etc .... that shows all the correspondence on this matter.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
