Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
We requested Ocwen to provide documentation to show that Ocwen has the authority and standing to collect the debt and to administer any resulting foreclosure for property address, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Tx XXXX. All of the documentation provided by Ocwen shows that Ocwen is the servicer for property address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Tx XXXX. Ocwen has failed to provide any evidence that they have the standing and authority to enforce a servicing agreement for our property address, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Tx XXXX. 

Ocwen states that the loan origination for the loan they are servicing was on XXXX XXXX, XXXX for property address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Tx XXXX. Our loan was originated on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Ocwen has failed to show that they are authorized to collect the debt and to administer any resulting foreclosure of the property address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Tx XXXX. 

We would like Ocwen to provide documentation to show that they have the authority and standing to collect the debt and to administer any resulting foreclosure for property address, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Tx XXXX. 

As Ocwen states the property address they have on file for us, which is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Tx XXXX, does not match our primary address which we occupy, which is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Tx XXXX. 

According to Ocwen, there is no single investor of our loan. Our loan is supposedly XXXX of many in a securitized investment trust. This securitized investment trust was contractually closed from conducting business after the closing date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I am not sure how Ocwen can legally update our property address at this point and time. 

We would like for Ocwen to file a Deed of Reconveyance, release any and all liens on our Real Property in the land records office in XXXX XXXX with the legal description Lt XXXX XXXX XXXX Sec XXXX and Satisfaction of Mortgage on our mortgage because Ocwen does not have an enforceable note or mortgage with XXXX and XXXX XXXX because we do not and have not ever lived at XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX, which is the property address listed in Ocwen 's records.

I filed a complaint with cfpb against Ocwen and was led to believe that cfpb would pursue that company and make them repay monies they illegal took from an Escrow account. I was told by cfpb that I would have a response by XXXX/XXXX/15. It is now XXXX/XXXX/15 and I have not heard from either. 
I guess you guys just accept complaints and do nothing about them. Just another new, but not novel bureaucracy to inspire hope but deliver exasperation.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen Loan Servicing withdrew XXXX payments of {$2000.00} and {$2500.00} from my bank account on XXXX/XXXX/2015. While I authorized the {$2000.00} payment, I did not make the {$2500.00} payment they pulled from my account. The last time I made such as payment was on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I am not behind in my payment so they applied the payment to XX/XX/XXXX payments. I called Ocwen on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to complain and have the money sent back. The lady I spoke to said I must have made the payment by mistake which I disagree. She However promised that the {$2500.00} will be wired back in for days. I waited for XXXX business days and when nothing happened I called again. This time I got a lady who explained that the accounting department was processing the check and they ca n't tell when I 'll have it even when pressed on the issue. Again 3 days to end of the month I had n't received the money. I sent emails as well on the issue and each week I have been getting a letter from Ocwen saying that my issue is being reviewed by the Research Department. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I got tired and wrote to Ocwen telling them that this has taken too long and I want my money back with interest for the whole month. 

On XXXX/XXXX/2015 someone from the resarch department called me asking is they could apply the money to my next months payment. I could n't understand why anyone would withdraw someones money by a mistake, ignore all request to refund the money, keep it for a whole month, then have the guts to call and ask if they can keep the money. Out of my anger I told the gentleman that they did n't ask for my permission to take the money and keep it for that long so they do n't need my permission to do anything. Now I 'm trying this final approach before I take legal action. This is just one of the issue have had with this company since I refinanced my home last XX/XX/XXXX and they got loan. I have spend so much time on phone to correct simple errors on my insurance coverage from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and every time they used to tell me to email the documents yet no actions was taken. Now they are using my money as soft loan.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2015, I received a letter stating that Ocwen has not received my payment for XXXX/XXXX/2015. Please find attached an email from Ocwen ( under document proof payments ) stating that they have received such payment on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( before XXXX when late payment fees can be assessed ). Additionally, it said on the notice that a late charge has been assessed but in the itemization of current amount due, it stated that there were no current late charges and the balance due was {$1400.00} and {$87.00} for the negative escrow balance for forced placed insurance which was under review at that time. 
On Friday XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 stating that I have {$3300.00} of past due payments. Please see attached proof of payments for {$1400.00} made for XXXX XXXX, 2015 through XXXX XXXX, 2015 which does not explain the past due amount stated on the letter. 
Additionally, I sent a check in the amount {$1000.00} to their office on XXXX XXXX, 2015 to pay off the negative escrow account for the force placed insurance from XXXX while I am trying to go back to the insurance companies to research the information. I should not have any past due amounts for the mortgage payments or late fees as I have been paying it monthly before the XXXX of each month. As of XXXX XXXX, 2015, I should not have any negative escrow account as I sent a check to cover the entire balance. 
Consequently, I am asking Ocwen to please address the discrepancies on their statements so that they can reflect the right amount of the mortgage payments XXXX principal and interest ) in the amount of {$1400.00} moving forward.

Complaint narrative:
I receive a Form XXXX last year from Ocwen because filed for modification of my mortgage loan. Ocwen modified my loan and canceled a portion of the debt I owed in the amount of {$19000.00}. I understand that according to the IRS, this means that Ocwen is writing that amount off as a cancellation of debt and I no longer have to pay it back the {$19000.00}. Therefore, I need to include the amount of debt from XXXX report on my tax return as income which I did. As a result, it caused me to have to pay in taxes to the IRS last year, which I never had to do before when I filled taxes. 

This year, I filed for another modification with Ocwen. while speaking to the agent he informed me that I was approved for the modification and went over the terms with me. Ocwen stated that with this new modification called trial plan period that my principal balance is {$79000.00}. I ask the agent why is my loan so high, that its almost back the amount of my loan before the first modification ( {$87000.00} ). The agent said that the add {$12000.00} of the {$19000.00} back to the loan. I told him that they could not do that because that amount was charged off and reported as income on my taxes. 

My second complaint is also that there 's a balloon payment that will be of {$61000.00} at the time this note matures on XXXX XXXX. In my first modification the balloon payment was due XXXX XXXX, XXXX for {$16000.00}. In my opinion this is not a true loan modification. I feel that I am be taken advantage of, please help me. I have enclosed the first modification paperwork, the trial period paperwork that a sent me they will mot give me the permanent modification until the XXXX payment of {$400.00} have been paid, and the XXXX form I used to file my taxes.
