Consumer complaint received 2016-03-04 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo Bank uses an automated phone system to dial every number on an account. They will non-stop if the system shows a debt owed. This is not a normal phone call. The phone calls come at all hours of the day, and if you pick up it hangs up immediately. It never leaves a voicemail. These phone calls, while illegal, are also only a result of chronic problem with Wells Fargo. They never updated my street address, routed payments to the wrong account, and refused to acknowledge the issue resulting in a faulty past due balance on a loan. There is gross negligence going on in the operations department of student loan servicing at Wells Fargo. By the sound of it even the customer service rep had no idea that the phone calls were of such an abusive nature.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to make my mortgage payment online but it would n't allow me to access any of the links. I tried calling to make my payment and it kept redirecting me to customer service which was closed. I have made all of my mortgage payments online until the above happened XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This is the second time in two years that my mortgage company has fraudulently tried to take my house from me. The first time was in XX/XX/XXXX. They always try to tell me I am behind on my mortgage 4 months but I am not. They come up with {$2500.00} in fees that never show up on my monthly statements. Last time they broke into my house and changed all the locks while I was out of town looking for work. The only replaced the locks and refused to repair the door. I was wondering if this is retaliation for a class action suit for forced insurance. I just want OCWEN to stop trying to steal my home under false pretense. I want to continue to make my payments online without interference from them. I missed XXXX mortgage payment so far XX/XX/XXXX so how can I be 4 months behind.

Complaint narrative:
The collection agency agreed to remove the collections back on XX/XX/2015. Now they have reinserted the same accounts a year later without notifying me within 5 days, according to FCRA standards. Instead of removing the accounts, I 'm continuously getting hassled to pay bills that I did not authorize. My Mother, made financial decisions with my account while I was on life support and I could not fend for myself. 

I disputed those charges a year ago and all 14 accounts were removed. Now they have appeared back and Revenue Recovery Corporation says that they were never removed. I 've submitted proof of the removal and they are ignoring the evidence.

This is the second complaint I have placed. The first has went without a response. I am in the middle of a current Chapter XXXX. I am 2 years in. My mortgage is with Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC . A few months ago Ocwen started returning my mortgage payments. I called Ocwen only to be told I no longer owned my home and it had been foreclosed on. ( It has not ) Ocwen is accepting my Chapter XXXX payments. I have asked to speak to a manager at Ocwen and they refuse to speak with me. Again, I make payments monthly thru chapter XXXX and make my payments to Ocwen every month. Today my wife and young daughter were home alone and XXXX men came to the door. They stated they were from the bank. They dug thru my garage. They tried to break into to my home. My wife asked them to leave and they refused. They terrified my family. They stated the home was lender owned. IT IS NOT. It has never even been foreclosed on.

Complaint narrative:
We have filed several complaints about Ocwen Financial Services for force placed insurance for over 3 years. We went ahead and paid the amount for the force placed insurance when they started sending us late payments and foreclosure notices while fighting the charges. They finally reimbursed us the amount we paid for the force placed insurance and removed the escrow balance. However, they still have not restored our mortgage payment to the scheduled amount. They are charging us extra fees in the amount of {$13.00} for late fees/other charges when we have not been late ( see attached ). 
Additionally, they reported to the credit bureau that we were late XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX when they assured us that while the account is in dispute, they will not be assessing any late fees or report any late payments to the credit bureau. We sent them the attached email to request that they remove the late payments on our records but they have not replied. 
We would like Ocwen to restore our mortgage to its scheduled amount and remove any other fees that do not apply. Most importantly, we would like them to remove the late payments that they reported to the credit bureau as the account was in dispute during the time they reported these late payments.

Complaint narrative:
We are considering selling our home. Our primary mortgage holder, Ocwen, modified the loan a little over three years ago. This resulted in {$32000.00} of deferred principal that has been forgiven over the last three years. Part of the modification includes an Equity Share Arrangement where we would share any price appreciation with Ocwen. Somehow, the home value was set at {$60000.00} when the modification went through, and the home has never been worth that little. Regardless, the problem we are having is figuring out how much we will need to pay Ocwen if we sell our house. Every time I call, I get a different answer. XXXX person says we will split the profit XXXX, another says there is no sharing because the reduction was forgiven, another told me the only way to find out is to sell my home and see what Ocwen sends me for a pay-off. Unfortunately, I have a second mortgage and sending a bunch of extra money to Ocwen means I ca n't pay off XXXX mortgages, so I ca n't sell my house. I 'm ok with that, except the only way I can find out if that is necessary is to sell my house and see what Ocwen sends me for a pay-off??? Why ca n't someone give me a definitive answer so I can move forward?

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I learned there may be a problem with my Mortgage serviced by Ocwen Loan Servicing. On XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen unnecessarily and incorrectly increased my Escrow payment due each month. Inexplicably, they backdated the change to XX/XX/XXXX. I have n't missed a payment. Even though Ocwen 's records reflect receipt of all my payments on time, this " glitch '' in payment history has caused a {$2100.00} Past Due balance. This is nearly 3 months payments, so I am now facing Acceleration. I am being charged late fees, Property Valuation fees and Certified mail for Default Notices. 
After Escrow analysis, my payment has actually gone down. It would also appear they owe me an Escrow Refund of approximately {$900.00}. The payment was too high for the past 2 years and never needed to be increased at all. 
Ocwen is not making any progress in correction of this issue. I have a " Relationship Manager '', however, I can only make appointments to be called. I had an appointment to be called on XX/XX/XXXX and was called to reschedule. My Relationship Manager was unavailable. The reset appointment was for XX/XX/XXXX and no one called at all. After waiting an hour I called to be given another appointment for XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
My ex wife was rewarded our house per divorce decree XXXX %. The loan on the house is serviced through OCWEN Loan Servicing. Since the divorce was final my ex wife was able to do a modification on the loan. The application forms included her info and her income only and the modification was approved. Since then OCWEN has continuously called me on the account whenever there 's anything negative. Slow pay, no pay, or whenever she wo n't answer their calls. They call me for any and everything. Problem is that I have been completely blocked out from this account and when I call OCWEN for answers, They tell me that I do n't have access to the account because I have been removed by request from my ex wife and also protection of information security through OCWEN. This account is still being reported on my credit and there is absolutely no cooperation from OCWEN Loan Servicing. Whenever OCWEN calls me and i ask questions on why I have not been removed from the loan due to my ex wife doing a modification on the home, I ca n't get an answer. I ask OCWEN for information on the status of the loan and why are they reporting negatively on my credit after allowing her to do an approved modification, I have sent a copy of the divorce decree, and there is a submitted quick claim deed. I ca n't get any information from OCWEN after numerous attempts. I have been given the run-around on an account that 's reporting negatively on my credit. I have been locked out of the account for some time now. OCWEN Loan Number XXXX. I feel that I 've exhausted every possible avenue in trying to have my information removed from this account and I encounter a dead end every time.

Complaint narrative:
After discharge of a chapter XXXX bankruptcy, where the XXXX lien was stripped by the court, due to the declined value of the property, the XXXX lien holder filed a motion ( subsequently granted by the judge ) to re-open the bankruptcy as they felt they had not been notified of the intent to strip the lien. This in all likelihood was due to the XXXX lienholder failing to record the lien timely. However, i was not notified by the XXXX lienholder attorney that a motion was filed. The mortgage company never notified me of any issues, the mortgage company 's counsel never served me, I found out about the motion through the title company while trying to close the sale of my house. The sale has now fallen through due to issues with a clear title, so now i have not only lost the sale, but am also responsible for the buyers appraisal and inspection fees.

When the housing market took a dive my family and I was affected. We were told to contact the State 's Attorney 's office which in my state of Illinois is XXXX XXXX. We submitted documentation of what happen and to no avail which now is years passing nothing has happen. I kept all original documentation also, email them and no-one has responded. The problem is when things are on your credit you ca n't get any assistance. The lending company we were with was Option One a predatory lender of XXXX XXXX who to this date is still in business. Also, in the state of Illinois I thought a house could n't be sold if there were liens against it. Well that property was sold and now the XXXX mrtg or whatever was taken out against it has been transferred to someone else called XXXX XXXX and it is on the credit and is ruining everything. I have in my possession letters written to modify the mortgage also, there was an offer and it was denied which forced a foreclosure to the home. It 's very hard to move forward with your credit in a disarray. Any help or direction you can provide for my family will greatly be appreciated.
