Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My property is in foreclosure due to a divorce. My Lender is OCWEN, I decided to sell my property to avoid having a foreclosure on my credit. I contacted OCWEN to let them know I was selling the property. I listed the property and have a approved buyer. A couple of weeks after that I received a notice that OCWEN had set a date to do a foreclosure sale on my property. My XXXX XXXX XXXX and I contacted OCWEN to see if they would postpone the sale date to allow the sale escrow to close verses foreclosing. They requested I submit a request for Mortgage assistance package and all of my financial information along with the proof the buyer was qualified. We sent it to them on XXXX XXXX, 2016, We spoke with them on XXXX XXXX, 2016 to confirm they received all of the required documents. They said they had. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received a response denying my request. My agent spoke with a representative on XXXX XXXX, 2016. They requested additional documentation. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 My agent spoke with them again. The representative told him the instructions previous given was wrong and that they should have never told us that. We requested again that they postpone the foreclosure sale to allow the sale escrow to close. They said they have to review it again. WE NEED THiS TO STOP. It appears OCWEN would rather foreclosure than to allow me to sale my property and prevent a foreclosure on my credit.

Complaint narrative:
My previous loan was sold to GMAC who had approved a loan modification before the loan was sold to Ocwen in which I had to start the loan modification process over and it took three years for Ocwen to finally approve a loan modfication however the loan modifcation that was approved was a payment that was higher than my original loan payment, while I was in the process of appealing the loan modfication my home was sold in a trustee sale on XXXX XXXX, 2014. 
I had provided everything Ocwen requested and they would continually deny me and I would have to reapply all the while they kept postponing the trustee sale until the company finally sold the home. I believe they did not want to provide a loan modification because they felt they could get more for my home if they sold it in a trustee sale. The outline of events will clearly prove this. 

For the past six months, my complaint has been with an Ocwen escalation employee who has refused to answer my emails or phone calls in providing me with a status update on what is a simple case as the home was illegally sold in a trustee sale.

Complaint narrative:
I have had a mortgage with OCWEN since 2002. Due to severe financial hardships, I had to remortgage my home that was previously paid for. I have repeatedly asked for modifications to this loan # XXXXxxxx. I was put behind in my payments, when I applied for ( the first of three ) modifications to my mortgage, by being told, via a recorded message NOT to make any payments until the modification was approved. This caused me to fall behind, adding payment on top of payment Then, OCWEN did not approve the modification, and said I owed all the back payments, which was impossible to make, causing my mortgage to fall into default, causing extreme stress and heartache. At one time I was forced to pay app XXXX A MONTH FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS, ALMOST CAUSING ME BANKRUPTSY ON A {$56000.00} MORTGAGE TO CLEAR UP THE PROBLEMS THAT OCWEN CAUSED!!!. FOR OVER 12 MONTHS, I HAVE MADE THE PAYMENTS ( {$870.00} app ) ON TIME, AND HAVE ASKED FOR MODIFICATIONS AT LEAST THREE TIMES, AND WAS TOLD EITHER I DID N'T SEND IN THE PROPER DOCUMENTS, OR THEY DID N'T RECEIVE THE COMPLETE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE ON THE LIST, OR THE DOCUMENTS WERE LOST. THE LAST REFUSAL WAS THAT THE INVESTOR WAS NOT ACCEPTING ANY LOAN MODIFICATIONS AT THIS TIME. THE XXXX AND HEARTACHE FROM THIS COMPANY HAS SICKENED ME TO NO END. 
I JUST RECEIVED A CHECK FROM OCWEN FOR {$740.00} FROM THEIR ESCROW DISBURSEMENT ACCOUNT, BUT I AM AFRAID TO CASH THIS AS THEY MAY ADD IT TO MY PAYMENT DUE! CAN SOME ONE HELP ME?????

Complaint narrative:
Once again for about the 8th time this year I am registering a complaint against Ocwen. They simply refuse to contact my XXXX to have them refund the money that that illegally sent Ocwen to have them ( Ocwen ) pay my XXXX. over {$27000.00} from an illegal and bogus bill that my XXXX sent them while this was being disputed in the court system which had not even been settled yet. And it was settled out of court and the XXXX was entitled to no penalties or fines for which they were paid from Ocwen anyway. 

Ocwen is constantly being sued and loosing on near daily basis for illegal activities. The SEC may also want to get involved with this investigation because I believe their stock is being manipulated too. Ocwen 's stock has went from an all time high of approx. $ XXXX per share to approx. {$6.00} per share for no reason. They constantly rip consumers off who probably do n't no better and disrupt peoples lives on a daily basis. As of right now Ocwen has completely ruined my credit along with my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and their law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX. This needs to be addressed right now before Ocwen goes out of business and I am left without a home because of XXXX and XXXX XXXX condo assoc. nonsense and illegal activities. 
Also, when I look at all of the complaints on CFPB, Ocxen seem to have far more complaints than any other mortgage/banking firms operating.

I kept paying them, it was n't much, but I paid them every month till they went into charge off because USAA refused to work with me. When the cards went into charge off, USAA changed my ability to view and operate my bank account. Instead of being able to use the desktop version, USAA will only allow me to use the mobile version. There are a lot of functions I can not use in the mobile version. In other words the account use has been severely impacted. I asked USAA when I would be able to use the computer version and they told me when I pay off both of my credit cards. I paid off XXXX card, but I owe XXXX on the other. That 's going to take a VERY long time beings that I am still unemployed.

Complaint narrative:
I have given authorization for my real estate agent and my husband to have information about the loan and to receive information. However, when they called, Ocwen representatives refuse to give the information, release information and or discussion any aspects of the loan. This is another example of why these processes do n't work. Banks, lending institutions, and loan servicing companies act like loan sharks because they hold the consumers credit worthiness in their hands and they show no compassion for the consumer. They are only after their money and not willing to resolve their issues or concerns. I am currently trying to work through the process for a short sale and I 'm getting resistance every step of the way. It 's not about getting to a solution, but making this miserable for the consumer. The solution should be simple, let 's get this property sold as quickly as possible before it will no longer command to market price it should. I asked a representative for a copy of the policy that gave directions to give my agent and husband when calling to make sure they were following procedure and they were unwilling to provide me with a copy the policy that would help facilitate all parties were able to give the correct information to discussion my loan. If there is a policy, Ocwen 's representatives should be willing to share that information with the consumer. To deny the people I have given authorization is an injustice and they should be cited for their conduct.

Complaint narrative:
I am frustrated at the general consensus that mortgage companies are allowed to collect their interest upfront and not refund the money back if the loan is paid off early. Why are mortgage companies allowed to collect interest on money that has not been lent. Meaning that they should only be allowed to charge interest on the loan as it stands current. Not collect the interest on a note based on 30 years even if it is paid off in 5. I just think that as consumers the mortgage companies should be giving us a choice.
