Complaint narrative:
LOAN # XXXX OCWEN LOAN SERVICES4 Months ago we request Hamp Loan Modification : XXXX this is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX our business suffered a financial loss therefore I had requested to Ocwen Loan Services loan modification on our Home. Bankruptcy or Fore Closure is not an option we are willing to take. We have enough equity and after XX/XX/XXXX New Job. We had contacted Ocwen for the loan modification, they had advised to us to stop paying for the loan, since they said this had to be done in order to qualify for the modification program. I ended up checking my credit report, and they had reported it and my credit score took a huge hit. This has also created more damage in our business since now I can not apply for anything. We have still yet to hear back from Ocwen in regards to my loan modification Status after 4 Months. I want to file a complaint & maybe if somehow someone from your department could look into this, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, are there any options I have available in order to avoid foreclosure of my real estate. We only need loan modification ut it seems nearly impossible, Ocwen do not assist in any way and they never respond to us with any offer after 4 months we send all documents via e mail pdf, XXXX certifided mail, etc..

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Once again, I am registering a complaint against Ocwen loan servicing. And, once again they refuse to answer a single complaint since I first registered my first complaint in 2014. They still claim I owe them money even though they paid my condo association over {$27000.00}. for a bogus invoice the condo assoc. 's legal rep. mailed them for falsely stating that I owed them money for making remodeling changes to my condo even though, this was settled out of court with myself not owing any fines or fees in relation to any of their accusations. Ocwen needs to follow up on this and retrieve the money that they paid the condo association and apply it to my mortgage. If Ocwen followed through on this my mortgage would be paid in full and I would no longer have to deal with them. Ocwen is threatening to foreclose and sell my property without even attempting to settle all my issues. Again, Ocwen has been sued in federal court by the XXXX in XXXX states for billions of dollars. Their stock has tanked and is only staying afloat by stock manipulators. Ocwen has announced laying off approx. XXXX employees. They never lay off the people they pay {$3.00} per day in XXXX only those in the XXXX Why? Ocwen has ripped off numerous people by foreclosures who had no recourse and did not know what to do. 
My initial loan from Ocwen was approx. {$43000.00} now, they claim that I owe them over {$74000.00}. How can Ocwen be allowed to do this? When will they be stopped? 
Also, they have not ever responded to my initial request of my RESPA letter. And there are fines related to this. And I have never received any of the fines I was entitled to. Also, they continue and knowingly send me bills which they know are not correct. That is a federal crime to knowingly send false billing through the XXXX mail. Punishable I think for {$5000.00}. on each occurrence. And, yet Ocwen has done this for over a year. I appeal to our XXXX and XXXX to do something before Ocwen goes bankrupt. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Last year I refinanced my mortgage with the bank that was servicing it M & T Bank. M & T Bank had bought the servicing from XXXX. I was very careful to make sure the new account number got on the Bill Pay I use from my XXXX XXXX checking account. M & T claimed they did n't receive the very first payment after I refinanced. After many calls and submission of payment information I ended up in a XXXX way call with XXXX XXXX and M & T before M & T went back and found the problem. I was told the payment somehow got posted to an internal M & T checking account instead of my mortgage, which is why they could n't find it since they were only looking at the mortgage accounts. This has happened XXXX times in a row now. The way I have fixed it the last XXXX times was to call the lady at M & T who solved the problem the XXXX time. They are after me again for a payment I have already made calling me on a Saturday at XXXX. My fear is if I lose my contact at M & T ( the lady who cleared it up the first time ) I will have to deal with incompetent people who have no clue. It 's in my account record what has happened in the past. Does n't it seem logical that they, number 1 fix the problem so it ca n't happen again and 2 if it does happen again, check to see if the error just might be on their end?

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan modificaion when I was current on the loan. The current loan rate is 7.25 % interest which I 've had for many years. This is a rental property and I asked Ocwen if they would consider reducing my interest rate as the property is 41 percent owner occupied and one owner owns more than XXXX units. Ocwen offered me a even higher rate and sent me papers to sign if I wanted to proceed. I 've called and email mentioning I did not want their offer at a higher interest rate. Ocwen continues automatically drafting my account the monthly payment however they are placing them in " Suspense '' and charging me late fees. As of today I 'm two month behind in payments as they are holding my payments in Suspense. They also did a hard hit on my credit bureau file which they said they would not do. It appears they have every intention to forclose on my property and I 've tied to talk, reason and make them understand however the communicaiton with these people does not work. I need help getting this cleared up immeaditely. Thanks XXXX XXXX

A man identified himself as XXXX XXXX, a lawyer with the group told me that he had just gotten off the phone with an attorney representing XXXX XXXX, XXXX of our creditors, and that if I did n't call this other attorney and make a payment of {$780.00}. that he was going to put forward paperwork for me to be arrested and to sit in jail for 30 days, because of a judgment that was filed against me. I had no reason to doubt this person, because as I stated above, caller id was from our own lawyers office ... when I explained that we did n't have that kind of money, he told me to just make the payment and that XXXX would refund us the money because they had missed the judgment. I contacted this other attorney, a XXXX XXXX, he confirmed everything that our lawyers office had just told me. He told me to go to a XXXX/money gram, to take care of this payment or again that I 'd be arrested and to sit in a jail for 30 days. I ended up borrowing {$800.00} from my best friends father, because I was extremely scared and being XXXX I was terrified of being put in jail. I went to a store here in town, in XXXX, CA, and called this attorney XXXX XXXX back so that he could give me the information to send the payment. I did this and gave him the reference number. He told me that the paperwork was going to be pulled and that I would n't be arrested. I tried calling XXXX back at XXXX XXXX, I got the recording that they were closed for the night. First thing Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I called and tried to speak to XXXX XXXX, only to be told that he no longer works for the firm..

He had answers for every question I threw at him in regards to our bankruptcy paperwork. After speaking with XXXX XXXX, I was told to file a police report and to file a claim with CFPB. I 've filed the police report and am just now filing a complaint with CFPB, due to issues with the website, which are now resolved. I do have receipts and the form, but I do n't know how to attach them.
