Complaint narrative:
My father passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. He owned a house whose mortgage had been sold XXXX times in XXXX years. The final mortgage holder was Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC . The mortgage was upside down, so we decided to let the house foreclose. Through our estate lawyer, we requested a deed in lieu of foreclosure in XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, I have recieved monthly bills and calls until XX/XX/XXXX when they finally sent the paperwork to do the deed in lieu. I signed it in the presence of my lawyer and witnesses. My lawyer XXXX it to Ocwen in the envelope they provided. During all that time, my sisters and I received at least XXXX letters and XXXX or more registered letters about paying the mortgage. There was not enough money in my father 's estate to do so. I told Ocwen that at least XXXX times on the phone and more times in letters from my lawyer. In XX/XX/XXXX, I got a letter requesting that I purchase hazard insurance for the property. My lawyer sent them a copy of the signed deed in lieu papers and reminded them that I do not own the property anymore. The property was vacated in XX/XX/XXXX and Ocwen did an inspection and changed the locks in XX/XX/XXXX. Today I received another notice about purchasing hazard insurance. 

No matter what we do, they keep trying to get me to do something with this property. Also, my lawyer has requested a final statement from them, so that I can close out the estate account and pay a few other bills that ca n't be paid until Ocwen gives me the final statement. They have ignored this request. How do I get this matter closed? I keep having to pick up registered letters and pay lawyer fees for letters to Ocwen, to no avail.

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen loan servicing took over my loan. The loan was already modified when they did. Since that time they have demanded a cushion for my escrow which is causing me extreme hardship. I went from {$1500.00} to XXXX in 2 years. My insurance has premium has decreased and my property tax has not increased. XXXX I asked to pay my own tax and insurance on the property. They refused and told me that the loan had to be modified for 5 year before they can waive escrow. This was XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/2015 is the five year. XX/XX/XXXX I again requested to pay my own because it would be less hardship for me. I would not have to maintain a cushion. I already approached my city about this. Now I receive a letter from Ocwen saying they can not waive the escrow and the reason is that the loan must not be delinquent in the last 12 months. I have never missed a month 's payment. I have had to pay a late fee because I am paid twice per month and it takes all of my salary to meet their demand. I am current on the payments. I qualified for the modification because of hardship, how can a mortgage company insist on making it even harder for someone with extreme hardship?. I have owned the property for 28 years and I never experienced anything like this. Please help me, I am at my wits end. They collect {$1500.00} per month in escrow only, totaling {$18000.00}. My escrow payment this year is {$15000.00}. I can not lose my property because of Ocwen. Please help me. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
My husband was a XXXX as a result of XXXX. I had a lot of bills to pay after he passed and failed to cash XXXX checks and found them last year as I was cleaning up my home. I contacted OCWEN and was told by OCWEN to submit the checks to be reissued which I did on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( attached ). Over a year went by and I got no response. I contacted them again earlier this year and finally received a response from them dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( attached ). In my view their response is purposely very confusing and they claim my ( by then ) dead husband had confirmed receipt in XX/XX/XXXX and as such they are refusing to reissue my checks and refusing to send me the money which is rightfully mine. We are talking over {$12000.00}. I just sent them another letter today asking them to reissue the checks and pointing out my husband was dead when they claim he confirmed receipt. Regardless of whether the checks had been received none were ever cashed and they have my money to this day.

Complaint narrative:
I paid my mortgage on XXXX/XXXX/15. My mortgage company reported me late to the credit bureaus. I contacted my mortgage company to discuss why they reported me late when I was n't and they indicated that even though I made my payment on the XXXX/XXXX/15, it was not posted to my mortgage account until XXXX/XXXX/15. The mortgage company indicated that if the payment is made after XXXX., it is posted the next day, making my payment late. I paid my mortgage online using their website and my statement indicates that payments received by XXXX local time will be applied the same day as received. I can not control when my mortgage company posts my payment to their system, however, my payment should credit my loan account the day it is received. I spoke with an account manager who said there is nothing that can be done. Per my research on the Federal Trade Commission site, " a servicer must credit payment to your loan account as of the day is it received ''

Complaint narrative:
I contacted my homeowner insurance company - XXXX INSURANCE - regarding roof repair and subsequently submitted a claim. XXXX approved and paid the claim and within two weeks send a renewal notice with a premium increase of nearly {$400.00}. I immediately called OCWEN LOAN SERVICING ( loan number XXXX ) and advised I would not pay the increased amount and for them NOT to disburse the payment to XXXX. I was told the renewal request was in queue and was placed on hold while the renewal was deleted from queue. I was then told disbursement had been cancelled. 
I spoke with a representative of the local agent - XXXX INSURANCE - and advised her I was not renewing the XXXX policy. 
I researched and found a new agent - XXXX and XXXX INSURANCE - and advised them to submit policy to OCWEN for payment. 
On XXXX, XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received letters from XXXX and OWCEN. XXXX provided a Reinstatement Notice for policy number XXXX indicating payment of {$950.00} received and balance due {$1000.00}. The letter from OCWEN is a Past Due Notice indicating {$1100.00} was due on XXXX/XXXX/2015. OCWEN received and processed my XXXX payment - check dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 cleared my checking account on XXXX XXXX and my check dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 cleared my checking account on XXXX, 2015. XXXX payments were in the monthly amount of {$1000.00}. 
I contacted XXXX and XXXX today and was told they had not received payment for the new homeowner policy that took effect on XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
OCWEN is now threatening foreclosure and to report my account in default. IT IS NOT. As the homeowner and the supplier of the funds, I feel I have every right to choice who I wish to insure my property. 
I just called OCWEN and was told " I paid XXXX, so I would have to pay the increased policy premium to replenish my escrow account ''. I told her " I DID NOT PAY XXXX - they paid XXXX and they need to straight out the mess they have created. " I was then told I had to speak to someone at the Insurance Service Center and was given a number to call - XXXX. I dialed the number XXXX and got a recording stating this is not a valid number. 
OCWEN needs to retrieve my escrow funds from XXXX INSURANCE and pay the new agent or send the money to me. OWEN must also remove any negative reporting on my credit in reference to my account payments, my payments were not late and my account is not in default. 
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Then amount I have paid and that is not reflecting on my pay history is not a small amount it is a very large amount and may be the reason Wells Fargo stated that my loan was due for XXXX payment in XXXX considering they did n't post over a years worth of payments from the courts.

Complaint narrative:
The reason I am making this complaint is because I was working with my Lender Ocwen Loan Servicing to get a Loan Modification, and I was approved for a Trial Payment and after I made my first payment I was advised by my account manager that I was Denied due that I had already got modified under a Government Modification and they can not do a XXXX modification under the same program. I am not satisfied with this denial and I have proof that I was not given a Government Program the first time I modified. I am a XXXX Loan but did not get a Government Loan. Now I am getting phone calls from my Account Manager XXXX XXXX and he has been trying to collect all my default payments in XXXX large payment or else I am getting foreclosed. He placed me into this Foreclosure status because he took months to get me a resolution, got me approved, then got me denied. I want my Trial Payment approval as they offer me and to correct what ever mistake they did to my loan.

Complaint narrative:
they are wrongly seeking foreclosure judgement against me. the debt they are trying to collect was modified by our chapter XXXX bankruptcy plan. they were court ordered to modify the debt and are in contempt of court. they are trying to collect for fees and charges that they are forbidden from collecting by the provisions of our bankruptcy plan. I sent them several qualified written requests and proof of their errors but they will not correct my account. I provided their attorney with the modification, proof of all payments and court documents that prove we were not in default. The proof of claim that was submitted by XXXX Bank in our bankruptcy case has a different Note than the Note they 've presented in this case. They 're attempting to collect on the same debt with XXXX different Notes that they 've asserted to be the TRUE promissory Note. There 's only XXXX legal promissory Note. they have no case yet they continue to push through with their fraudulent documents. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX, an Ocwen representative signed an affidavit regarding the factual accuracy of our account despite Ocwen 's failure to do a Bankruptcy account reconciliation when we were granted a discharge. Ocwen did not do a bankruptcy account reconciliation until XXXX 2016, more than 2 years after they were legally required to.Their attorney, XXXX XXXX, submitted an affidavit declaring that he has " a continuing obligation to amend his affidavit in light of new discovered facts following its filing '' and certified the accuracy of the affidavits filed. However, he stated in the default hearing that he did n't read the modification agreement. The Agreement was attached as Exhibit A in my Answer. He also lied to the XXXX during the Summary Judgement Hearing that I missed due to a family emergency. He told the XXXX that he communicated with us but he never did, not once! he stated that they were willing to make loss mitigation or discovery efforts but they need participation from us. I gave him proof of everything, I have participated in every way possible! He lied several times to the XXXX because we were n't there to contradict him. they have misrepresented the amount of the debt, made false statements to collect on this debt, and seek to collect on a debt that their client has no legal right to. We were not in default. Ocwen 's unwillingness to correct my account as required by RESPA, the XXXX, and the FDCRA has subjected me to undue hardship and emotional distress!

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX and my lender is Santander Consumer. I have been contacting Santander regarding my vehicle being stolen back in XXXX. Since the vehicle was stolen I continued making payments. However, my insurance company informed me not to make a payment for XXXX because a check was being issued for payment. The insurance adjustor as well as I has contacted Santander regarding the payment still not being applied to the account. Their representatives are stating the payment has not been received ; however it has been confirmed by XXXX that the package was received and signed for over a week ago. I have been harassed by representatives regarding my XXXX payment. I have received nasty calls on my job, left threatening voicemails, and I have been verbally mistreated by supervisors, the insurance department and customer service representatives at this company. I sincerely feel that this is a form of retaliation because I filed a complaint with the BBB. As of today the payment still has not posted to my account.
