Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was put into foreclosure by my mortgage company after being late one month and a few days. I entered into a repayment plan full of fees. On my credit report it shows me being late 3 and 4 months there is no way I would have been foreclosed on. I even paid the the repayment plan early. I disputed this credit bureau and they refuse to show I paid on time all those months. Had I been that late they would have foreclosed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX of my accounts removed and inquiries removed at the beginning of XXXX 2015 without my consent. I see now that Equifax has did a mediocre investigation, while I do appreciate them adding my accounts back on, which are XXXX accounts on XXXX which were previously deleted because they were not mine, need be deleted and they also added about XXXX XXXX inquires which are not mine and must be deleted. If they took the time to look at my credit report as reported on XXXX XXXX, 2015 they would see my credit score was a XXXX and now has dropped to a XXXX, this is not acceptable and they must take the direct actions to remove accounts that were not on my record before as well as remove inquires which are not mine. I would also like them to open accounts which they have closed. My credit needs to be a XXXX or higher now and because of this it has dropped Equifax needs to fix this now. 

These accounts were XXXX : XXXX, Inquiries, XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15, XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15, XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15, XXXX/XXXX/15, XXXX/XXXX/15, I did not authorize these inquiries. 
My name is reporting wrong as well XXXX XXXX XXXX be XXXX XXXX XXXX of my accounts that were open are not stating they are closed. I would appreciate it if Equifax reported the open accounts. I have attached my credit report for their review from XXXX/XXXX/2015 before my accounts were removed. I would appreciate it if they could report the open accounts as they are in my report as it is from XXXX XXXX report in XXXX 2015. Also Remove the inquiries those are not my inquires and must be deleted. Thank you Equifax. These dysfunctional reporting cause my score to drop XXXX points and my credit score dropped because of whatever happened which was unauthorized. I need Equifax to fix my credit score and fix the accounts I attached my report on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and am reattaching it again XXXX XXXX, 2015 which is true and I will notarized and documents to prove my honesty. I need my credit report to report exactly as is or else Equifax is breaking the law to me as a consumer. I Demand them to fix this asap.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received an email from a XXXX XXXX regarding " renting '' my home that I am currently living in. She said she wanted to know if it was still available? Left her email and phone number for me to contact. Upon contacting her I advised her that my place is not for rent and demanded to know where and who she obtained my personal email, name and phone number from. She said she joined a website called date.capitol and that my property was listed by my mortgage company. My mortgage company is Ocwen and my mortgage is currently current. Two months prior I had been late with my payments, but since then I have brought the account current. I immeditaly contacted Ocwen to find out if they had my account in a foreclosure status because the date.capitol website indicated that they dealt with foreclosed properties?? Of course, they told me that my account was current and that they would never sell my personal information. This is NOT true, how else would this company receive my personal information, email and cell phone. Ocwen has that information is selling homeowner information to fraudulaent websites and companies. I am very concerned about dealing with Ocwen and this person contacting me to inquire on renting my house? Ocwen is giving my personal information as if I 'm getting ready to foreclose and selling my information to fraudulent companies. I need help in investigating this. Again, the lady I spoke with said she joined this website for {$120.00} and was told that the information is inside info coming directly from the lender! In this case OCWEN.

Complaint narrative:
See QWR notice of Error and Exhibits. 

My investor agreed on a reaffirmation agreement XX/XX/XXXX this was signed in court on XX/XX/XXXX and filed. The investors loan servicer failed to adjust my loan to the agreement and continued to send me monthly bills that included the bankrupcty cram down. The loan servicer changed XX/XX/XXXX and the new servicer Ocwen resumed where XXXX left off with the incorrect amount on the transfer documents. Notified Ocwen XX/XX/XXXX and did not get a response or a monthly statement unit XX/XX/XXXX I guess they wanted to make sure the 3 year statue of limitations ran out just one problem now that they got the loan amount adjusted they want more than half that principle paid at once or be foreclosed on. I never even got a letter telling me why or what happened to cause this large payment. ITS CALLED DISCLOSURE. 
I have asked for copies of all periodic monthly statements relating to my mortgage and any response to my questions to be returned or responded though the CFPB to me. I have found in the past when I have asked for information that the investors or loan servicing companies respond that they will need additional time or they will respond directly to me or my attorney but end up never completing the response in full to me or sending a attorney my response weeks later but not what I asked for. I have enclosed a permission letter from my lawyer in the exhibits and faxed a copy today to my POC at Ocwen to by pass any legal confusion if that Ocwen can communicate with me. I want to make this clear that any in the form of documentation or information should be sent back though this complaint. If my POC at Ocwen needs to contact me the letter will allow this they have my number and email on file. My goal here is to have a open line of communication and resolve some errors due to mismanagement of my loan and hopefully settle it out of court.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
We paid our Mortgage in full in XXXX of XXXX. 
I sued this crminal entity in XXXX for fraud. In discovery Ocwen admitted All payment made in 13 years were never paid to a XXXX. Unfortuately NH allows such fraud to continue because homeowners can not challenge the fact that the loans are never placed in the trust allowing servicer to pocket the money owed to the trust. I filed suit because Ocwen filed XXXX different lien releases with the registry. Ocwen release, sand canyon, and XXXX XXXX? Interestly enough the lien is released by from a trust that was never paid a dime. 

After the case was dismissed by the court in an effort to further damage my credit Ocwen in XXXX of XXXX falsely began reporting to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX that I had aquired a new mortgage serviced by Ocwen in the amount of {$60000.00}. It is listed as a home mortgage joint account interestingly enough the account only appears on my credit report. I found this out after i had aquired a new car the net effect of the current fraud is a high interest rate, higher downpayment and higher life of loan cost and lower credit score. I was recently denied a loan because i owe to much on a mortgage that does not exist. 
I will be filing a new lawsuit at least now i can challenge this criminal entititys frauds.

State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I accepted a Mortgage Loan Modification Agreement from Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC . Ocwen 's Contract Management Modifications Coordinator, XXXX XXXX, signed-off on the agreement on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Subsequently, all of my monthly mortgage payments have been paid on-time or ahead of the due date, which is the XXXX of each month, as required. However, on four [ 4 ] separate occasions since the approval of my Mortgage Loan Modification, Ocwen has placed my account on a Trial Modification Plan and/or Forbearance, despite the fact that I have not defaulted on the agreement. In addition, I received a " Notification of Default '', dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Note, that each time an incident occurred I contacted Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC., to dispute the recurring problem. As a result, they would refer me to an " Escalation Manager '' and/or their Research Department to have the issue resolved. Subsequently, each " Escalation Manager/Specialist '' [ XXXX ext. XXXX, XXXX ext. XXXX, XXXX ext. XXXX, XXXX ext. XXXX ] would allegedly investigate, then resolve the issue, over a period of one [ 1 ] to two [ 2 ] months, only to have the situation recur. Nonetheless, XXXX continue to receive harassing telephone calls from customer service informing me that I have an arrearage that needs to be paid, mortgage statements that indicate my mortgage is on a " Trial Modification Plan '', and more recently a " Default Notice ''. My mortgage is clearly not in default. Payments are made directly from XXXX XXXX XXXX on the 30th or last business day of each month from my checking account, once my Direct Payday Deposit enters my account. This is extremely frustrating. Please help resolve this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen Loan Servicing acting as the Servicer of this mortgage has failed to meet all of its requirements under HBOR and is attempting to illegally foreclosing on our personal home by selling it at auction on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The direct violation of HBOR law is based on Ocwen Loan Servicing Mortgage improperly and unfairly review our loan modification request for relief. We have submitted a complete loan modification direct via fax and have been forced to resubmit the same package several times. In addition, Ocwen Loan Servicing has repeatedly denied us help several times and we never get a single person to answer our questions honestly or directly. They always have hundreds of people pass of file amongst each other just to create motion and delays. We intend to keep our home and we meet all eligibility criteria. They have never offered any help or relief and continue to threaten to take our home. Ocwen Loan Servicing Mortgage illegally commenced and is conducting a foreclosure while reviewing attempting to find workout relief options for us. They have mishandled our documents and file several times and failed to properly communicate with us throughout the process. They simply wish to foreclose and kick us out onto the streets. They have clearly violated HBOR specifically under the " dual tracking '' clause. Ocwen Loan Servicing Mortgage instructed and allowed the Foreclosure Trustee named XXXX XXXX to illegally start foreclosure on my property. The Ocwen Loan Servicing Mortgage and Know Your Options website gave the result that we are eligible for a loan modification with a lower payment to save our property. So there no reason why Ocwen Loan Servicing should have denied our request or started foreclosure on our home.
