State: NY

Complaint narrative:
We purchased our home as an estate XXXX. The executor of the estate failed to notify the Assessor 's office that the owner was deceased prior to these taxes being paid, therefore the exemptions of {$620.00} were applied to the XXXX school taxes. The unentitled exemptions were then applied to the XXXX XXXX taxes. This extra charge on the XXXX XXXX taxes made the taxes appear to be more than anticipated. However, this is not a tax increase and should not be anticipated towards the XXXX taxes. Caliber home loans is taking this added exemption fee as a tax increase and they are raising my monthly payment {$210.00} in anticipation of this being the new tax amount. I have forwarded a copy of the XXXX tax bill clearly showing the exemption removal fee of {$620.00}, a letter explaining this situation, a tax record information sheet that shows a more realistic tax amount, and the letter showing these exemptions being removed late. The company conducted a review by calling the town and asking what the XXXX tax amount was. I am not stating that the XXXX tax amount should be lower, I am stating there was a fee added that should not be anticipated for the XXXX taxes. The representative and supervisor that I spoke with today both stated that they will do nothing for a one off situation like mine and will not accept any proof other than a tax bill showing a lower amount. I asked if I could ask for a more realistic tax figure from my town hall and they refused this is well. I was even told that their research department only handles paying taxes and would probably not even know what to do with a situation like mine. I feel that it is extremely unfair that I am not even able to prove this discrepancy and am being forced to pay an amount that I have expressed is to high and have proof that is incorrect. Their solution is to pay this unaffordable amount from now until the new tax bill comes out in XXXX and if the amount is less they will refund me. This is not realistic as I do n't believe that I can afford the new proposed monthly payment. All I want is a fair review and an opportunity to pay the correct amount.

Complaint narrative:
Due to an extreme hardship & divorce I fell behind with the mortgage. Caliber Home Loans who has just recently purchased my home from XXXX XXXX has a foreclosure and sale date of XXXX XXXX on my home even though I was working with their loss mitigation Dept to try to modify the payment they accelerated the foreclosure and I have n't even been given the chance to work out options with them. I have n't even been given options! I received the application & a letter of approval to submit a modification application from them dated XX/XX/XXXX then got a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that my application was denied cause I did n't turn in documents. Really a day later. That seems deceptive & misleading if you ask me. And they are n't honoring the chance I was given to Try to modify before I got the accelerated foreclosure letter from attorney sent XX/XX/XXXX. I had already turned in an application because I did n't wait for the one dated XX/XX/XXXX to come in the mail, I printed one off their website. But now the sale date is so close & I am still trying to modify. It 's a race against the clock & see which comes first. But they are dragging their heels. I turned in all documents they requested. And everytime I call to make sure they got it I 'm told I need to send something else!! And it takes up to 5 days for them to upload it.

Complaint narrative:
To the CFPB, Caliber home loans, and other recipients XXXX this letter go on record as it states the facts in our complaint against Caliber Home Loans. On XXXX XXXX Caliber became the new servicer of our mortgage.In the 2 years since we have never received any SPOC from Caliber to help us retain our home.in Calibers most recent response to the CFPB, Caliber claims that they could not contact us with a SPOC because f a cease and desist on the loan. The fact is in XXXX we hired an attorney to respond to a foreclosure attempt by XXXX, who was the mortgage holder at that time. In the letter sent to XXXX formally disputing their attempt, the wording is as follows " We are demanding that XXXX cease and desist any attempt to foreclose on the home. '' The wording did not state a do not contact cease and desist and further more Caliber Home Loans was not named in this as it would be XXXX more years until Caliber became the new servicer of the loan. Caliber also stated in their recent response that a letter was sent to our bankruptcy attorney on XXXX XXXX, XXXX regarding our loss mitigation options. Our attorney has no record of such letter. Are request through the CFPB was for Caliber to send us any proof that this letter was sent to and received by our bankruptcy attorney. There has still been no response. It is clear that through Calibers lack of contact over the last two years, manipulation of wording, and lack of response to our complaints, that Caliber never intended to help our family stay in our home and only to foreclose and evict us. Leaving this family homeless. Further more the purpose of the CFPB is to help the rights of the consumer but it would seem that is not the case because their hands are tied. Disappointing. XXXX is also go on record that a copy of this letter has been sent to the Massachusetts Attorney General, Massachusetts division of banks, The Justice Department, and our State Senators. We have also consulted with an attorney and we will be taking legal action for the loss of our home, severe violations of our rights, and the mental and emotional stress put on our family.

Why did your company deny my right to a complete servicing file, in CFPB complaint number XXXX? In your response dated, XX/XX/2016, your company responded ; " Please note, all other items are considered unduly burdensome and will not be provided. '' My house has a set foreclosure sale date, XX/XX/2016, due in part to errors contained within account.

How is obeying, rules and regulations, set forth by RESPA, in execution of duties as role of servicer, " unduly burdensome ''? Please explain in detail. 

Your companies arrogance, and blatant violation of rules, set forth by agencies of the US government are troublesome, and should IMEDIATLY, brought to the attention of regulators, and appropriate action should be taken, at once. 

Please cease foreclosure proceedings in relation to this account, and fix all errors, in relation immediately!

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I scheduled my XXXX mortgage payment on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The system then said that my next payment due was XXXX XXXX, 2015. I knew this was an error because I only scheduled XXXX payment for XXXX which would make the next payment due on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I informed Ocwen of this error and told them that I would stop payment on those XXXX errors and would reschedule another payment from my other checking account. I scheduled the payment from my other checking acct on XXXX/XXXX/2015 which cleared my bank on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Then, on XXXX/XXXX/2015 another mortgage payment debited my XXXX checking account which was unauthorized. I informed Ocwen there must be a glitch in their bill pay system because they were taking XXXX payments each time when only XXXX was scheduled. XXXX XXXX XXXX was able to retreive the extra payment from Ocwen that was made on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Ocwen is now saying that I have not paid for XXXX and had returned checks for XXXX after showing proof form the bank that they made extra unauthorized debits and proof that the XXXX XXXX payment I authorized posted and cleared. After XXXX letters, XXXX calls from the Bank and they will not fix my account. They even sent me a check in error and told me to deposit it then they would credit my account. Well, that check was no good from them and they charged me for it after they told me to deposit it on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Today is XXXX/XXXX/2015 and this error began on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and nothing has been done, even after contacting their ombudsman. My bank tried to talk to them but they would n't talk to them because the call was being recorded. I have never been late with my mortgage payments and I do n't appreciate being treated this way. Something is shady about Ocwen because all of a sudden my mortgage payments increased due to escrow which they are now taking $ XXXX yearly over the amounts of my property taxes and home owners insurance. Then, this fiasco with XXXX debits happened just two months later. Ocwen Loan Serving needs to be investigated. There us something REAL shady going on with this company.

Complaint narrative:
Every year around this time, Ocwen ca n't seem to get me my mortgage bill. Even after ( XXXX ) additional request for them to mail me another bill. On XX/XX/XXXX, I still had not received my mortgage bill ( due XX/XX/XXXX ) so I called Ocwen and requested another bill be mailed to me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I still had not received a mortgage bill so I called Ocwen again to request a XXXX bill be mailed to me. On the phone, I was also given the option to mail payment in with last months bill stub and I did exactly that. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill that was printed on XX/XX/XXXX, 3 days after my original request. # Days to print another bill and 17 days in the mail? Still no original bill from Ocwen and I know that they will not process my check til after XX/XX/XXXX with a late fee. What a scam. I have perfect payment history and credit with all. How can this only happen with Ocwen every year. I refuse to give them my credit card or banking info so this is what they do. It is not fair and I feel that there is nothing that I can do about it.

I have a loan with OCWEN loan servicing, and it will be sold to a new company named XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I never got a fair review with OCWEN and I am attaching a more detailed letter for my complaint and supporting documents. OCWEN denied me for all modification options and switched my review to a short sale without my consent. The new company that will be taking over my loan work with short sales, so I believe OCWEN purposely denied me before selling my loan so the new company can finish the short sale. Its a win for both the companies but not for me, an investigation needs to be done, I believe I am not the only homeowner, and OCWEN was already sued.
