    I have just had my loan acquired by Ocwen a few months ago and it has been a nightmare since. I have contacted them numerous times throughout the past few months even having spoken to an escalation specialist several times. The problem lies with the amount they are collecting in my escrow impound account. Since I pay my own Master Policy they should not be collecting for it. However, even though they state that they acknowledge this fact, they refuse to change the information on their website that states Ocwen is paying for this policy. Furthermore, although my county taxes only amount to $3,100 annually, they continue to collect in excess of $400/month which equals to $4,800+ annually. FYI, I have already satisfied the reserve balance account portion.

    For anyone having difficulty resolving their complaints, I would advise them to contact the US Department of Housing, the California Bureau of Real Estate, Department of Financial Institutions, and the Attorney General in your state. For California, at the bottom of this link ** are some of the agency's contact info that you should be contacting. I am in the process of corresponding with them now to try and resolve my complaints.

    My property insurance was not paid by OCWEN and I received a call from my agent indicating that a payment needed to be made. Consequently, I paid the $850 amount. I'm not sure what happened to the original payment by OCWEN but it was returned to them. I requested that this payment be made to me to help expedite my request. I was then informed that OCWEN needed to make a payment to my insurance company (Safeco). This payment was never made.

    After several additional call by both my agent and me nothing has happened. Approximately three weeks ago I was promised that a check would be cut and mailed to me within 5-7 days. After an hour long phone call today I was told that an escrow analysis was requested to determine any surplus that may be in my account. I NEVER requested this analysis. I have been lied to and given different answers each time I call. The customer service at OCWEN is the absolute worst I have ever dealt with in my 40 plus years of owning rental properties.

    I paid an extra $50.00 amount for my mortgage because I was behind one month. I wanted to catch up by paying more monthly. Today, I decided to call Ocwen for a total amount due for the month of March 2015. I was informed that as of February and March 2015, the mortgage was not paid. I told the customer service rep that this cannot be accurate because I have been paying extra for a year. I was then informed that my escrow increased last year; therefore, my mortgage increased. My mortgage was 409.00; however it changed to 455.00. I was never informed of the overage nor given an opportunity to pay the balance of the overage. I thought it was very shady to increase my mortgage without informing me via letter or phone call.

    Ocwen repeatedly fails to apply my extra principal payments to my mortgage principal. They repeatedly apply extra payments to future interest earnings. Every payment clearly states principal only. This has happened repeatedly!!! This time I called and sent 2 emails to the ombudsman. Yet, my payment has still not been adjusted appropriately. We all know of their shady dealings. It is time to also file suit regarding their mismanagement of payments. I know I am not the only person that experiences corrupt manipulation of payments.

    We have 3 years left until our home loan is paid. Our previous mortgage holder sold out to Ocwen. After over 20 years the payment my husband made got lost in the mail. We received a call from Ocwen and my husband immediately rectified the situation, paid the bill and subsequently began Auto Bill pay, no harm no foul. But the outsourced calls will not stop, at least 2 a week! The ridiculous part is the operators don't even know why they're calling! After listening to their "This call may be recorded, yada, yada, yada," they say "Oh I see you are in good standing" Duh!

    I was told that the calls were on an automated system and they don't know why?!?! This morning when I received the call, I just got one yesterday, I said I wanted to file a harassment complaint. I was placed on hold and was assured that the calls would stop, only after 20 calls about nothing! We'll see... If anyone has a free choice about financial institutions to deal with I say don't touch Ocwen with a 10 foot pole. They are simply nasty bill collectors out to make a buck and nothing else. Terrible, terrible company.

    I was another GMAC acquisition by Ocwen. From day one I have had problems with them. We have not received a statement from Ocwen since the initial contact. When I first called to ask about it, they gave me the run around and nothing but excuses. We are now in the process of refinancing, and when I called Ocwen to send me a current statement I was informed that my account was transferred on March 1st, 2015 to another company and that my records were no longer available. After three calls, and about two hours, I finally got one of their lemmings to send a request to have my February statement emailed to me - "expect 3-5 business days for receipt." What part of I need it within 48 hours is so difficult to understand? Especially since I should have already had the stupid thing. I cannot wait to be out from under this company!

I explained that over & over again. I recently had an unexpected serious medical diagnosis & am out on medical leave.

    I applied for a hardship modification. Rather than review my paperwork & work with me they increased my interest rate! Recently, I spoke w/ an obnoxious rep. named Brandon who advised if I was not up to date soon, me, my disabled son & elderly mother would be out on the street. I am disheartened & disgusted - pls. if you can stay away from this Co. Additionally, anytime I was even 1 day late, they would send a man out to sit in front of my home at night. This caused great concern by my neighbors who took the license plate and had a police officer investigate. He was told they were making sure I still resided in the home (ridiculous after a day late!). This has caused me great embarrassment & now the neighborhood is fully aware of my situation.

    Loan was sold to Ocwen several years ago by our previous lender. We have never missed a payment. Experienced a decrease in income couple years ago and Ocwen refused an interest rate reduction. Our rate is 11.5%. We have been purchasing our home since 2006... never a late payment and credit rating is now 800. Most recently ocwen failed to pay our property taxes from escrow. After several calls they finally paid a portion of the past due taxes. Ocwen is miserable to speak to and difficult to find anyone that speaks clearly. Very unhappy with them yet underwater so we have to just hope the market comes up enough to refi with a reputable lender.

    It is now coming up on two years that I have been trying to get rid of my PMI on my mortgage with Ocwen. My last letter was sent to Ocwen on January 27, 2015 and to date March 1, 2015 I have not as much gotten an acknowledgement to my request for the information on cancelling my PMI with this horrible mortgage servicing company.

    The law in California is quite clear and states that a homeowner may request a cancellation of their PMI using appreciation of their property value. However, when you call Ocwen the call is routed to India and the call center operator reads what he has on a computer screen that says that you may only cancel your PMI on your mortgage if you have improved you home's value through new construction or upgrades after your initial appraisal was done. They further go on to say that your PMI will fall off your loan in May of 2019 and there is nothing that can be done before then. Well friends that is against the Laws of California.

    An additional issue I have with Ocwen is in 2013 they sent a letter indicating that they will need in my escrow account a cushion of $750.00 over what is needed to meet my property taxes and hazard insurance payments and of course that dreaded PMI which they also take from my escrow account. I protested giving them the additional $750.00 dollars of free money and they said that they will not accept my monthly mortgage payments until I pay that extra $750.00 dollars cushion. Well they have also not sent me my annual escrow disbursement statement so I have no idea of what is being paid or what is my escrow balance except for what is on the monthly statement and from that you cannot figure if that extra $750.00 is included in the balance.

    Are there any attorneys that are willing to go after Ocwen to ensure that their customers rights are protected. I would like to find an attorney that will take my case because I don't for one minute believe that Ocwen is paying for any mortgage insurance on my property since it now valued at a 120% of the appraisal Ocwen has on file.

    I have sent proof of HomeOwners Insurance through fax over and over again to Ocwen, they keep saying they did not get it or get the one document that covers me for windstorm and hail damage. My insurance agent even went as far as mailing it to them after faxing several {7} times since Oct. of 2014. My insurance agent is beyond frustrated and I am livid!!! In January of 2015 I was sent another letter stating I did not have the proper insurance for my dwelling, in the letter it actually stated that we did not even have liability or windstorm coverage. Big Fat LIE!!! We are completely covered and competently covered. I have the copy my insurance agent sent me. I have to say that this is the most sloppy ran company I have ever came across!! Every time I call I cannot understand what they are saying and I would guess the reps are outsourced to another company in another country.

    Every time I have called {Too Many times to count} they tell me they did not receive the right documents which prove that we have windstorm and hail coverage. I have tried so many times to send them this info. and to no avail they supposedly never get it; well in January of 2015 they decided to purchase windstorm and hail insurance for me, I was very upset to say the least, they took it right out of my escrow 560.00!!! 560.00 just for windstorm and hail coverage for year?!?!?! It seems every time I called a rep would say they received 1 page through fax, and calling back again another rep would say they received 2 pages then another rep would say 4 pages and so on.. What is going on here???!!! I called them and told them to return the 560 right back to my escrow and they said they could not do that until they have proof of coverage!! WTH!!!

    I have sent it, my insurance agent has sent it and the only way they let you send it is by fax, how is it my fault their communication {FAX} system is totally screwed up?!?! I feel like someone has stolen from me and I want every red cent back NOW!!! I am going to obtain a lawyer and make them pay for the lawyer fees for really fouling up their own company. It is unacceptable to have these kind of business practices and hurt all of these innocent people!!!! I am hopping mad, I may be small but I know my rights and I shall put you in your place!!! I asked them "where is my proof of windstorm and hail insurance?" They supposedly bought it back on Jan. 15th 2015. When I asked the rep this he could not tell me why I do not have a copy of the supposed insurance they bought me, it has been a month and a half since they purchased this insurance, where is my copy??? This speaks of lawyer time LOUD AND CLEAR!!!

    It only takes 7- 10 days to get mail from something like this not a month and a half, someone made up something in this company saying I did not have correct coverage and then ripped me off for $560.00!!! Who wouldn't be angry?!?!?! I will get my money back!!! I am going to another company one that is reputable that can also speak English when I call them. Anyone know of a good lawyer??

    Quick synopsis on my credibility: I work for a real estate agent in California who helps homeowners who are having trouble paying their mortgage and owners who decide to short sale their property. We work with the loan servicers to get the short sale approved. I personally am responsible for calling and coordinating and negotiating the short sale between Ocwen and the homeowner (seller) and buyer.

    That being said, we have had the unfortunate pleasure of negotiating 5 separate short sales with Ocwen in the last 12 months. Progressively, their customer service has deteriorated. Most recently, documents submitted are not being reflected as received, yet letters are being mailed to the borrower and/or our real estate office confirming Ocwen's receipt of the documentation, so it takes 2-3 times submitting a form to get updated in the file.

    Other issues are with Ocwen not sticking to their own review time frame. For example, when the short sale is approved our title company typically requires that before closing escrow on the sale, that Ocwen "approve" the final HUD statement of expenses. Ocwen's approval says the final HUD approval should take 48 hours, however, it always takes at least 5-7 business days to get a response. Naturally if we don't close on time because the HUD is not approved, that affects the numbers on the HUD, so it requires us to factor in these delays from Ocwen and explain to all parties they historically are not able to uphold the timeline written on the approval.

    Based on all the issues with working with Ocwen managing these loan files - we have learned it's best practice not to deal with reps in India unless you just need them to read verbatim what is on the notes and to IMMEDIATELY ask to speak to a United States representative (preferably the ones in Texas for short sale questions) who seem to have more common sense in reading notes and having an intelligent conversation about the loan status and what is needed for the short sale approval process (including more realistic timelines of their internal processes handling any issues).

    Please note that Ocwen's phone systems apparently do not allow the reps in India to transfer to US directly - when they "transfer the call" to the United States, it goes into a general queue so a lot of the time another rep from India picks up and you have to just keep asking to be transferred. But usually within 20- 30 minutes, you get someone in the United States who is either a supervisor or just better trained customer service rep who typically can give you an answer within 5 minutes in speaking with them.

    Bottom line is to allow time for the calls into Ocwen and we hope mortgage companies read these reviews too as it's a disservice to all parties to handle files so poorly, which delays the loans getting paid and borrowers defaulting which is not in anyone's best interest!

    Last year I paid down my principal balance with OCWEN by 40% (because I am so tired of dealing with them). Well, they still did not recount my monthly payments. My monthly payments are remaining the same amount as it was when they originally purchased my loan from IndyMac. I asked them to change my monthly payment amount. I wrote to them to request that in writing. They never received that request because there is no person responsible to receive these requests. Plus, I was told I must send a check for $5000 in order for them to even consider recalculation and it will take 60 days to maybe for them to tell me my payment will stay the same. Did I mentioned that I paid down my original loan by 40%???

    Today I filed with federal regulations, I need to resolve this as soon as possible. Ocwen never send my itemized statement, where is my payment going? I don't trust this company. I hope they will get shut down from fraudulent ways of doing business.

    Our loan was sold to Ocwen. I read the reviews and hoped for the best. We have NEVER missed a payment or been late. We are not an at risk loan. My heart goes out to those in a tough position who must deal with Ocwen. Communicating with them was next to impossible. I called with a question and the associate kept using the term "default" instead of "current." He finally asked me what "default" meant, as he didn't know! (That's scary). Thankfully our loan was sold in September of last year. However, Ocwen did not report it transferred to the credit bureaus.

    When I checked up, three months later, it was still listed as open! I called Ocwen and asked them to take care of this. I was very clear in what I needed and followed up with a detailed fax. Their response was a "canned" letter about reporting delinquent accounts! I called to question this and was told it was their mistake and it would be taken care of. A week later, I received another canned letter about my delinquent February 2015 payment. Since our loan was sold in Sept of 2014, this was obviously not the case.

    My husband called again. The associate did not understand our request. She stated we did not owe them anything. We replied that we knew that but the credit bureau did not. My husband requested over and over that they notify the credit bureau that our account was transferred. She did not understand. He asked 5 times to speak to a supervisor and she said no. She interrupted my husband over and over, did not listen, and was rude. When he asked questions that were not on her "script" she had no idea how to reply. Finally, 45 minutes later, we got to someone who we hope will understand. We had to send him a screen shot of our credit report to show him what we meant. Here's hoping!

    I was getting my taxes done and we realized that the Mortgage Insurance Premium wasn't included on the 1098 form from Jan-September 2014. This is an issue. I had to reschedule my taxes for the following Monday (my original appt was on a Tuesday, when we discovered the issue), so I could get the issue resolved and get an updated form. It is now 9 days later. Do you think I have the corrected form? NOPE! Had to reschedule my appointment with accountant on Monday of this week, had to cancel because I still didn't have the corrected paperwork and now I have to reschedule my appointment for tomorrow because Ocwen is the most incompetent company that I've ever dealt with.

    I've been speaking to "escalation managers" since last Tuesday. The only thing they're escalating is my blood pressure. Every single time that I call I need to explain the whole problem from start to finish because they apparently don't know how to take notes on a caller's issue and I am given the same answer. Now the answer from them is that a third party company is handling the correction of my form and they are waiting for them to send it back to Ocwen so that they can send it to me. I asked if I can call the third party company myself and was told no. They wouldn't even tell me who the third party company was.

    The first time that I called, I was HUNG UP ON. This was when I was sitting in my accountant's office and we thought, naively because previous to this I had no idea about this company, that we could resolve quickly. I was hung up on because I dared to allow my accountant to speak to the customer service rep. I sat there and told them that I was with my accountant and that we were on speaker phone and they told me that they could only talk to me and when I said I was getting taxes completed and needed a resolution now so he would be talking too, I was hung up on. So I called back, spoke with someone who didn't hang up on me, but she lied and said the ticket was escalated.

    Called back Thursday because I hadn't heard anything and was wondering if there was an update, only to find out that no one had any idea what I was talking about and no ticket had even been opened. WHAT?!?! Spoke to the escalation manager's Manager. He assured me that I would have the form by Sunday, for my appointment on Monday morning.

    It is Wednesday and I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE FORM. They are telling me to just tell my accountant the amount needed for that section (they asked me if I knew what the amount was?!?!) and then they'll send the updated form when it's corrected. That's not an option. I'm not sure what they don't understand about needing 1098 forms that are correct when filing taxes, but it seems lost on them. They also told me that it wasn't required when filing taxes. Yeah, FOR THEM. They're not the ones getting $ back, why would they care?

    I'm just astounded about how they handle their customers. I told them to stop all of my mortgage payments as of today because I am literally scared about having my money and mortgage being handled by these clowns. Now I need to figure out how to move my mortgage to another company but I am sure any other company would be a lot more trustworthy and helpful than this one. The fact that they are a business that is still operating is astounding to me.

    My husband and I have had PHH for about 6 years. We started out with two other companies, one being CUNA Mortgage, that for whatever reason gave us over to PHH. Our monthly payments were reasonable when we started but, most likely, like other people, property taxes and escrow amounts caused the payments to change. My home is a manufactured home, and no-one will refinance it for me. My husband died recently, and now it's up to me. PHH does not have the HARP program operating for homers like myself either. I tried and qualified for it, before my husband's death, but for whatever reason they don't do it.

    Now, where my problem comes in, is that I tried to get my mortgage payments reduced, so I can afford it no matter what my situation and they informed me that they usually only help people who are behind in their payments, and that I'd have to pay a $300 fee to get my payments reduced and fill out some kind of application too.

Ocwen has continuously miscalculated my escrow account, and actually reported a false late payment to the credit reporting agencies claiming I was 30 days late on one payment! This has hindered my ability to get the best rates that I've been accustomed to with my impeccable credit record. There is no phone number, no person to speak with, only robots in India repeating scripts to block me from accomplishing any resolve to the matter. Shame on whoever manages this behemoth of a company, it blows my mind that a company can still be in business and have such poor customer service.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have been a customer of OCWEN since they took over for IndyMac. This past month, I sent them a payment of $700 (first time ever, I have always sent them $1,000) to cover an interest only plus escrow payment of approximately $600. They sent me a new statement indicating the $700 payment with the next months bill as normal. I noticed later that the money did not come out of my account. I am not a novice in regards to managing mortgages and properties, since I currently manage five other mortgages, and a total of nine properties, primary residences and rentals.

    I received a new statement yesterday that reflected no payment received, an added late fee, and showing the next payment as well. I called them and they told me that they received a charge back from my bank checking account. This I thought was a lie, and I confirmed it was from my bank. Ocwen representative said I would have to prove this did not happen in order to get the late fee refunded, and only if I make a payment before the end of the month would it reflect on my credit report as late.

    I believe this is an 80/20 plan that Ocwen is utilizing to rip off its customers and generate extra cash. I have seen the many lawsuits and whatnot on the internet even a specific Facebook page regarding Ocwen's rip-offs. I know it's on $22, but it's the point of the matter. What can I do? Even if I try to prove with the paperwork, it does not guarantee they will accept, and I would have spent the money in doing so as well.

    I obtained a loan in the amount of 62,000.00 in 2006 from GMAC after they filed bankruptcy, Ocwen took over. In 2010 I received a loan modification from this sorry excuse of a company. They lowered my interest rate but inflated my mortgage. How can a principal balance go from 62,000 in 2006 to 68,347.00 in 2015? When they did the loan modification for us, they charged us a bunch of bogus fees and God knows what else, then transferred our loan to one of their other companies, Select Portfolio Servicing!

    After researching this company I have discovered that they are under government investigation for this and many other things and they have ripped off a lot of homeowners and stole their homes right out from underneath them.

    Remodification nightmare. We purchased our home in 06 which got sold to Homecomings and then Ocwen. We fell in a hardship in May when my husband’s mother got extremely sick with cancer. We live 1000 miles away and of course my husband took time out of work to help his dying mother. Since he is the sole provider and missed 2 month of work which he works for himself it started.

    In September of 2014 I started the process for a modification which I received a run around, every time we call to check a new paper was missing. I had them fax me a new application again, filled it out, faxed it, called to confirm they received all the papers needed, they said yes. A few weeks later another call, this time they claim the application is an old form. Mind you, I used what they faxed to me.

    So now we are in February 2015 and I just received a letter stating that we don't qualify for a modification, I have an interest rate of 8.80% but they are willing to do a short sale. I don't know why they would think I'm willing to sell my house. My husband continues to make a payment before the 88 day so they foreclose on us. And no one speaks English nor can you understand them.

    Ocwen acquired my loan modification from another company. I received the mod. in 2010; Ocwen acquired the loan about 1.5 years later. I had been paying the loan mod. payment for several years. When I inquired about some misinformation on my account website. that's when the trouble started. Since then I received a letter stating I hadn't made a payment since April of 2013 (not true); when I provided proof, they said I was paying the wrong amount. I continued to send in payments. Then I received a letter stating that the payments I'm sending in are going into a suspense account and not toward the mortgage because it's not the proper amount. That happened for a couple of months. Then they started returning my payments.

    I don't know what to do at this point. They have set me up with several "relationship managers" which is futile. Now I have people taking pictures of the house and when I questioned them about it, they say they are doing it for the loan company. I am concerned about the house being sold from under me.

They put me in a Loan Mod of Interest only for 48 years. On top of all that, the $42000 I put down on the home, well they sold that too. And even if I wanted to take out a home equity loan to remodel kitchen or bathroom to sell and get rid of the home, can't do that either. They do not offer that. Not to mention that every customer service call is scripted by people outside of the US who know nothing about Real Estate in the US.

I know I have paid 1/2 of my March 1st payment, but they showed I haven't paid the second 1/2 of my February 1st payment yet. Supposedly I got it straightened out today. This all stems back to when I started paying through my CU back in August and they put one of my payments into my escrow account instead of applying it to my monthly payment. I was also with GMAC and had no issues with them. If I could refinance, I would.

    Ocwen bought out my mortgage when GMAC went under and, at first, there was no problem because even though I was sending a payment to them they were not actually handling my account yet. As of October 2014 "they" started working my mortgage and it has been downhill ever since. I never got my escrow analysis for 2014 even though I know there was a surplus as my mortgage payment went down. I called 7 times over 4 weeks to get one done and got a new story every single time. They just bought my loan, I am too new to get an analysis, they upgraded their systems, they don't have my information, all of our "supervisors are on the phone", "I am in America" and on and on and on. Needless to say I was not getting my analysis.

    Suddenly I finally get one in the mail.....and that is when it really went down. They decided to do an analysis NOT for 2014 but instead for only October 2014 to March 2016 and forecasted my taxes and insurance to go up DRAMATICALLY. I have gotten my renewal policy.....my insurance didn't go up for 2015 and after speaking with the county neither did my taxes. According to these animals though all of my amounts have changed, I need to send $ to create a cushion in my escrow account to protect me (laughable) and that randomly, in the middle of the year, my mortgage payment is going to increase quite a bit to cover the "future costs of servicing me". I still cannot get any answers on where they got these figures from and how they do not make up information yet I sit here with proof that nothing has increased let alone by the amounts they are saying.

But the story I would like to share with you is that during the lost of my due to water, my loan was sold to Ocwen by IndyMack and hence my hell. Trying to communicate with someone it's impossible since you have to tell your story to everyone before you can speak to the person you need to speak to. But during this time of stress I received a letter from Ocwen stating that my home owners insurance was going to be cancelled because no one was living in the property. I immediately contacted Ocwen and informed them that they needed to send someone to inspect the property so that the insurance company would know that I was indeed living in the home.

    They never send anyone to inspect and then they had the nerve to send me a letter informing me of my lack of insurance on the property and if I did not secure insurance, they were going to provide it at a higher rate. I call Ocwen with my underwriter on the phone who requested from Ocwen a copy of the inspection done to my home. Now figure this they did an inspection of my home I was never present and never allowed anyone in, LOL. But my concern was not to have to be stuck with a higher premium. They told my agent it would take 3 days to release the information and we hung up.

    Two weeks later I received a letter from Ocwen with the same threat. They never sent the information to the agent, I scream, cursed, and finally told them I did not care what they did I was not paying a higher premium due to their neglect and that if I receive another letter I was taking action against them. I can only tell you that if your loan is sold to Ocwen you are in for the ride of your life. I think it's very unfair how the little people are threatened because there is no one who truly cares.

    I am on a bi-weekly payment plan with Ocwen for my house loan. This way, I make 26 payments a year and the last two payments are supposed to fully go towards principal. However, Ocwen does not automatically do this and, unless you continuously check your balance and call them, they deduct interest from those payments just like regular payments! So you end up paying unnecessary interest to Ocwen every year. Even when you call them (which I have done a couple of times) they do not correct it immediately. In my last experience, "after one business day" has not happened after 15 days. It's very hard to believe that they cannot identify this automatically.

Which can't be because they just sent me a check where they had withheld too much money in my escrow account. So I guess refinancing the house is out of the question until this is resolved.

    In Sept of 2013 I went to the hospital for work accident I did have. Didn't have no money, lots bills to take care, pregnant wife and 3 kids to worry. Ocwen really kill me and put me on the spot to suffer only because the way to handle the customers help. For 7 long years I was stopping me to buy something for my family but my mortgage was first. Only because my heat unit need repair and I got late. Ocwen didn't care over everything. I was the one who call them. No consideration also for the condition of my family.

So I should wait until I receive my check back and then greens it western union.

    I have been struggling with this company for years after my loan was sold to them. Never had a problem before Ocwen. I recently divorced and got a couple of months behind on my mortgage. I did attempt to catch up by sending extra payments and they were returned with letters simply stating that they wanted the full amount owed and nothing else. I started modification process in OCTOBER 2014 after they refused any payments from me. Kept getting letters stating they needed certain documents from me that I had already sent, and then would get another letter a week later.

    I kept sending the SAME docs over and over. I asked that all correspondence with me be in writing and have received nothing other than letters stating my missed payments, etc. I received two appraisals within a week of each other with a $20K difference in the appraisal. Calling this place gets you nowhere because no one seems to know what is going on and you can have an entire conversation with someone one day, have to talk to someone else the next day and there is no record of the previous conversation.

    I am now MONTHS behind because they won't even take regular payments from me while I wait for a modification, my credit is back in the toilet and Ocwen is useless in helping. Impossible to get away from them as they ruin your credit!! I have had all kinds of issues in the past where they were not paying my taxes, which I pay as part of my payment and they go in an escrow, and got a notice that my home would be auctioned for back taxes. Again, no one at Ocwen knew what was going on. This company is a nightmare. I am so close to walking away from this house, it isn't even funny.

I used their recommended appraiser service PCV Murcor to appraise my house. 2) they said they could not find the appraisal for 2 months. PCV Murcor confirmed they faxed it in and verbally confirmed with OCWEN rep that they received the fax. 3) They then reviewed the old appraisal in 2013 and said not enough equity. 4) They then said the LTV is not enough. Come on. I spent over 70k fixed up the house which was appraised at 560k while the loan amount is 398k. 5) I keep wasting my time to call them and finally talk to their so called manager from the "Research department" to review the case.

    They came back and said oh your loan is not two years old yet. NONE of the notice, paper works they sent me or during the conversation have this information. They said it's California law. They said I have to wait another 5 months then reappraise and reapply. I have this conversation recorded. They failed to tell me all the requirements or so called hidden requirement.

    So...I am having the exact same problems as everyone else. Prior GMAC loan sold to another company and "serviced" by Ocwen. I have made bi-weekly payments on my house for 10 years, ALWAYS staying ahead on my payments. Since Ocwen took over, I have had to call every other month to fix my mortgage payment and not be past due on it. They ALWAYS apply one payment all towards principal, and don't count it towards my payment for the next month. I didn't have this problem a year ago when it was serviced by MIC.

    I called their service center and was told by the representative that I need to make just one payment a month and I should change how I am making MY payment. I don't know how I can try to stay ahead and they just kick me and tell me that I am past due. Doesn't seem right...Where's the lawyer in the room ready to start a class action lawsuit? I'm in!

    I am a veteran, recently separated from the military. I filed for mortgage rate adjustment due to my lower income. Oh yea, I filed this nearly six months ago. This is how you waste your time.

    Call Ocwen and request paperwork for loan adjustment. Receive paper work, fill it out, mail it in and wait. After three weeks receive a phone call saying they need more paperwork (e.i. VA proof, checking account screenshot (which they shouldn't need, pretty personal to see what you are spending money on, one would think proof of income was enough)). Send information via email. Wait four weeks and call to see what is going on. Resend the information that they lost and DID NOT follow up on. Wait six weeks. Call again.

    Meanwhile, you CANNOT speak to anyone who can do anything to your account, you had toe set up and APPOINTMENT??? Each one was set for more than a week out. Get behind on mortgage in the meantime, since it has not been adjusted. Get frustrated and give up after five months.

    Here are some FACTS that show complacency and lack of customer care. I was on the phone a few months back for three hours because they could not find my loan information. They didn't seem to care that I wanted to know where my money was going if they didn't. They never found it until I called back two months later. You need an appointment at least 10 days out just to follow up on your loan.

    I received late fees for my payments because I did a silly thing and trust their confirmation emails EACH MONTH THE PAYMENTS WEREN'T MADE. I confronted them and said the fees should be waived seeming as they sent FALSE EMAILS INDICATING THE PAYMENTS WERE MADE. They said no. Not even for their on complacency. If you ask to speak to a supervisor, you will be put on hold for 10 minutes, then told that there are none available to talk. And you'll be transferred to someone who will tell you the same thing.

    They will send emails saying your payments are made, when they aren't. Then charge you late fees. I have to stop writing this because I am close to breaking down. After all, my loan has NOT been adjusted. I have an appointment (surprise) to speak with my loan officer (that constantly change so you have to repeat your story to each one).

    My loan was serviced by Ocwen without my permission, as banks are allowed to do, and right away, I started having problems: I pay 3 payments at a time due to being on the road for a living. This was never a problem with IndyMac bank. However, even with instructions on the payment coupon, every payment goes first to interest of the first month, and all the rest goes to principal, and then I would owe them another payment the following month, which I am not able to do since I am on the road and can't bank. Then I am required to call customer "no-service" and talk for a half hour with somebody from India who I have to tell the whole story to, and then they fix the problem "permanently" by adding notes to my account info.

    This month, they applied the correct amount to the first month's payment, and the rest to INTEREST!!! This time I demanded first to speak with a supervisor, as every time in the past the agent tries to avoid having the call transferred to a supervisor. I was told the minimum wait time is 24 to 48 hours. This is getting ridiculous! Why do we have to do business with banks we did not agree to do business with?

    The home has been maintained in immaculate condition despite the fact that I spent 8 months last year in 3 different hospitals and a nursing home. But I have been delaying more surgery, waiting to close on this house after 8 months and hundreds of phone calls to people who barely speak English. I am old, sick and tired. My buyers have graciously accepted to extend the closing date 3 separate times. We are now about to ask them to do it again...and I fear my realtor is also ready to throw in the towel.

Since I've had the mortgage for 11 years and have never made a late payment, I'm not sure what debt they've forgiven.

    First, my payments did not ever go to the payments. Payments went to some suspense transfer or suspense payments. What is that?? Second, when you call to Ocwen (some country in Asia) they NEVER offer any kinds of explanation for the suspense thing (even though I asked). Third, random amounts are sent to the principal and it usually is the lowest amount. There is not any rhyme or reason to how this company does business or continues to stay in business. What is funny (but not really), is their CEO or something was having legal problems back in November and December of 2014 and stepped down.

    In December of 2014, during an annual review of my Hazard Insurance, I modified my policy which dropped my insurance premium by $1,400.00. My insurance company notified PHH of the decrease in premium payment due for the upcoming year. However, PHH ignored this information and sent my insurance carrier a check which included the $1,400.00 overpayment.

    As a result of PHH paying this additional amount, they sent me an Annual Escrow Statement informing me my Escrow account not only had a negative balance of $1,400.00, but based on what the amount was they paid to my insurance carrier, they were increasing my Escrow payments for 2015 to cover the projected premium increase. Here's how that worked out: (Note: None of these amounts reflect a change needed for an increase in property taxes, as the taxes remained unchanged.) Current Monthly Escrow Payment: $ 208.47; New Monthly Escrow Payment: $ 249.14; Escrow Shortages Payment: $ 74.58; TOTAL NEW PAYMENT: $ 323.72

    Needless to say, when I received this information (12/8/2014), I immediately contacted PHH. And the trouble began. First, they told me they had NOT received a premium overpayment refund from my insurance carrier. They continued to tell me this when I called them, every two (2) days, until 12/29/2014, at which time they informed me they had received the refund. This, in itself caused me great concern, as my insurance carrier had already informed me the check to PHH was presented to, and paid by, their bank (which also happens to be my insurance carrier, USAA), on 12/11/2014.

    To make matters worse, PHH informed me the receipt of the refund would NOT alter the payment due for January, 2015 (which is now $323.72 higher than the payments I made in 2014), until I requested, and they completed, an Escrow Analysis. So, on that date (12/29/2014), I ordered the analysis. And for those of you who may be interested, don't try sending them a mortgage payment for the "pre-screw up" amount (as I did). They wouldn't credit it to my account, and they called me twice a day, everyday (including Sundays), until I sent in the additional $323.72.

    In late January, 2015, I received a notice from PHH that the servicing of my contract was being transferred to Nationstar Mortgage, LLC on February 3, 2015. As of this date (02/06/2015), not only does Nationstar Mortgage NOT have my mortgage in their system, but PHH informed me today they had NOT completed the Escrow Analysis, which, when I requested the analysis (12/29/2014), they claimed would be completed in no more than ten (10) days. Therefore, I was forced to pay PHH (since they still had control over my mortgage), another mortgage payment, which included the $323.72 increase.

    So there you have it. In the last two (2) months it has cost me an additional $644.47 in my mortgage payments. But not to worry, PHH's borrowers are not the only ones they're screwing over. When I asked them today when I would get a refund/credit for my two (2) overpayments, I was told they would forward the Escrow Analysis to Nationstar Mortgage when it was complete, and Nationstar would be responsible for issuing a refund/credit. How convenient, since PHH collected the overpayments PRIOR to actually releasing my contract to Nationstar, which means, under the law, they are NOT required to forward any payments received to the new service provider. So Nationstar is forced to issue a refund/credit from their own funds. I wonder how many other borrower's contract have they manipulated in order to screw new service providers.

    This is the worst company we have ever done business with. We have a mortgage with them for principal and interest only. There should be no escrow on the account. We pay our own insurance and taxes. They continue to escrow our acct., call us and tell us we are behind on our payments because we have not paid the escrow. We have given them the insurance policy information numerous of times. Our insurance agent has given them the information and nothing changes.

    I hope never to have to deal with this company ever again. They are the worst. You can not speak to anybody from the US. Just employees out of the country. Very frustrating.

    Was sold out to Ocwen from GMAC originally. November 2015 started getting letters that I didn't have a flood policy, which is escrowed... and confirmed paid by escrow in June. Policy runs June to June. Notified Ocwen, spoke with Najib (of course) and he noted the error. I uploaded my declarations page to the website as suggested. January 2015, received a 2nd notice of no flood insurance with the "threat" that they shall purchase insurance if I don't have it, "please provide declarations page." Called again, got Mohammed on the phone in India, because this is were it's outsourced to.... of course India doesn't know about flood insurance... they don't have floods! Anyhow, I explain it all to him again, he checks my file, sees I've called before, no declarations page... he calls my agent while I'm on hold, speaks with them, says they will fax declarations page. We finish our call, my agent calls me to confirm they have faxed the document.

    January 29 I get a letter that I am in violation of my loan by not having flood insurance policy, they have "provided" one for me (double the cost I usually pay)! I check online, no declarations page uploaded to my account, they have taken the flood payment out of my escrow (IN DECEMBER) and now I'm in the battle again to get the documentation to my account and refund my escrow. I'm hiring an attorney. I'm not dealing with idiots in India. They have been provided this information more than once. It's a money-grabbing scam!

    I was a self-employed proprietor who rented a house to tenants from 2008 to 2014. I was also employed as a sales representative at a shoe store from 2001 to 2010, but was laid-off due to no more full time positions. My unemployment benefits had run out in 2012. So that's when I started falling behind on my mortgage. At this time, I was only receiving rental income which was sporadic, not what my tenant was supposed to pay me. My original mortgage company was Bank of America, but I was switched to Ocwen but not by choice.

    Ocwen Loan Servicing claims to help homeowners save their homes, but they don't. When I first received a foreclosure notice, I called Ocwen and they told me they would mail me a loan modification package for me to fill out and mail back the completed form and they would schedule an appointment to speak with a relationship manager on the phone.

    When the relationship manager called me, she said I needed to send out more documentation. So I sent out the documentation, but after they went through the process, I was denied the loan modification. A year after, they put me on a 3-month trial payment plan and when it was over, I tried to get a renewal but was denied. The last thing was to fill out a form for a short sale and that was denied. As a result, I'm stuck with a foreclosure as of February 3, 2015. Ocwen is nothing but a scam and they shouldn't be in business anymore. Helping homeowners is not what they do.

    I bought my home in June 2006 and it has been sold to various mortgage companies over time. The most recent, sadly, was Ocwen. I experienced a severe reversal in income and applied for a loan modification, which was approved as an “unemployment forbearance” for 12 months. I was advised that I could reapply for another modification. I completed all required documentation, submitted it all and was denied. I had to call THEM to find this out because they told me they are not allowed to call customers without a scheduled appointment and cannot e-mail a response to a customer's e-mail.

    Now, they tell me I owe them $16,000 because my loan is in default due to the modification. They say I owe them the difference between the modification payment and my regular payment. I signed nothing agreeing to this nor was I advised of this when I originally was approved for the "unemployment forbearance". I am now denied ANY type of modification, although they cannot explain to me why in any language I understand! I did review the online criteria for a HAMP modification and I DO meet them - all of them, yet they say they I am denied.

    I asked for additional help and no one knows what to tell me! They did say "Although your loan is in good standing, you have never been late or missed a payment, you can be foreclosed on any time without further notice." I am 65 years old, in failing health, unable to work full time and now I will be homeless. This company does not know what they are doing.

    In September 2014, an all-cash offer was made on a property mortgaged with PHH Mortgage in North Vernon, Indiana. This (short sale) offer has been pending over four months and we cannot get any answers from the seller or his agents because they cannot get any answers from PHH. A local title company advised the property was posted for foreclosure at the Jennings County courthouse on Jan. 12, 2015. Other complainants in this thread stated PHH went ahead and foreclosed on them while allegedly they were in the midst of loan-modifications/workouts. It further appears that post-foreclosure, over time, PHH conveys foreclosed properties to an auction company for disposal but this process could take months. We were told the day we first toured the property with our realtor that PHH had changed the door locks the day before we looked at the house. (Is that legal?)

    The realtor had trouble getting us inside but somehow got in through the back door. Two thousand mile trips have been made from DFW, Texas to North Vernon and over a thousand dollars already spent for gas and lodging. PHH's attorney representing the foreclosure procedure is Zarksis ** and I have attempted to contact him without the favor of a reply. I understand privacy restrictions forbid him to discuss a pending foreclosure with a 3rd party but you would think he could at least say our offer would be considered IF a foreclosure were to happen. I've tried to line up a realtor as a buyer's rep for us in North Vernon but they all say our offer has to go through the mortgagor through his realtor-agents and not directly through PHH. I have no way of knowing what PHH has or hasn't told him and his realtors cannot tell us anything except he is "working with his lender".

    We are 100% OK with that but if PHH forecloses, (and at this point that appears certain) the realtors and the former mortgagor are immediately out of the picture and cannot sell something they no longer own. If anyone knows, who or how could we negotiate directly with PHH once a foreclosure has taken place? A relocation to North Vernon, IN has been put on hold now for 4 months and no one can provide any answers (least of all, PHH Mortgage). I feel for the poor souls who put their trust in this firm, it seems not to care even if they could make more money by negotiating a sale. (Again, all-cash; a proof of funds letter is part of the offer) I'd welcome any suggestions but please don't advise giving up as the time, money, and effort invested thus far are substantial. I'll post an update if anything changes.

    Five months ago our flood insurance charged too much from our escrow. The mistake caused an escrow shortage and a higher monthly payment. The flood insurance attempted to refund the amount to Ocwen but after several weeks of claiming the check wasn't received... a stop was put on the check. The refund was then sent directly to me. I then mailed a personal check certified mail. The check was confirmed delivered 5 weeks ago and once again they claim it wasn't received. They instruct me to call every 3-5 days to get the same run around.

    Today they called me to inform me they received the first check mailed 5 months ago with the stop on it. Way to go Ocwen! I'm sure it would be faster to just refinance, which I fully intend to do once this is resolved. Oh and don't bother asking for a supervisor...they are always busy and never call you back. Hope this company gets shut down. They are completely incompetent.

My house is deteriorating, the electricity is off, and the basement has flooded due to sump pumps not running and broken pipes.

    My mother mails her mortgage payment to Ocwen every month. In January 2015, Ocwen wrote her a letter claiming the payment had not arrived. She immediately contacted them (the letter arrived after business hours) the very next day & spoke with heavy accented man whom identified himself as Nithin. He confirmed the payment had not been received & suggested she pay $19.50 to make an electronic payment. My mother agreed, the payment was made & she was provided a confirmation number. Nithin then suggested she contact her bank & place a 'stop payment' on the check & promised Ocwen would not attempt to present the check for payment as she'd now paid her January 2015 payment.

    The next day she was notified by the bank that Ocwen had attempted to present BOTH payments & the bank refused both as suspected fraud. I contacted Ocwen & the representative insisted that this normal practice. I asked why Nithin misled my mother & the representative keep trying to coerce me into having her sign a loan modification & asking why she was having problems making her mortgage payments. I tried repeatedly to explain the problem & he kept saying the same thing over and over as though he were reading a script & didn't understand English.

    In the meantime, we'd contacted the bank & they lifted the hold off ONE electronic payment. I then authorized the payment & Ocwen attempted to charge ANOTHER $19.50 fee to which I refused. This was their error. They acquiesced & the payment was made. Ocwen then applied the payment to December 2014 & began insisting my mother was 42 days behind because they didn't receive a December 2014 payment. They then placed me on hold & came back with yet another story that they'd received it as an electronic payment but my mother had called them & reversed it, so they subsequently sent the money back to her.

    By this point my mother was livid. She does not make electronic payments but chooses to pay her bills by paper check. She was adamant she'd not paid them an electronic payment except for January 2015 at their insistence. I then contacted her bank to get a list of the last 13 payments to Ocwen so that I could see a year's worth of payments. Sure enough they'd received a CHECK payment EACH month & cashed each and every one with the exception of January 2015. I contacted them again, got another heavy accented person who appeared to not have command of the English language.

    I do not speak any other language, no communication was happening, I was extremely frustrated & insisted on speaking to a manager. He promised he'd have the research department look into the missing payment & contact me back in three business days. Two days later my mother receives a demand notice in the mail and a loan modification application. I contacted them on the third business day just prior to close of business. I insisted on speaking to another manager. At first the agent tried every excuse to dissuade me, but I remained firm & refused to discuss the situation with anyone except a manager.

    A manager finally took the call 42 minutes later, stated he'd emailed the previous manager & been told there was nothing to report yet. I asked why my call had not been returned & he stated because it takes [now] FIVE business days. He stated the account was only 22 days past due because of the electronic payment in January. I asked if they were reporting her negatively to the credit bureau & they said "no" but were going to in a few days. I insisted that was not fair in that she was not behind, they'd lost a payment. They said until it's straightened out they'd report the account negative.

    I explained she was going to attempt to refinance the home as we were tired of dealing with a company obviously not familiar with the US laws & based in India not the US. I felt (and still feel) this is an attempt to prevent her from refinancing with USAA at a prime rate in order to keep the account. To date, the problem has not been straightened out & we are going to attempt to refinance prior to the negative info is reported. I don't understand why the US will not rein this company in. They purchased our loan. We never agreed to do business with them but couldn't afford to pay the mortgage in full. We'd not experienced problems & therefore just paid the mortgage and some extra on time each month in an effort to get done dealing with them. Now they've stolen over $800 & are refusing to correct their error.

    I had forgotten to pay my mortgage two days after its due date of the first of the month, then made the payment online. Nonetheless, I received a collections call on the third day. I have a very high credit rating, the account was not beyond the date where it would have been considered late, so it was hard for me to understand why collections was calling me. During the conversation I explained that I had paid online. The woman told me that she could not see that a payment had been made. Fortunately, she accepted my explanation. There is no reason for Ocwen to make a collections call when the account is not past due.

    Additionally, in the other dealings I've had with Ocwen, it has taken multiple phone calls to resolve issues. For example, I wanted to set up an escrow account. Following the instructions on their website, I provided the required letter and documentation by fax. That was "never received". I sent it again. I didn't receive a response and had to call again. The person I spoke to couldn't find the information but said that he would contact the appropriate department, and that I should call back. On the third try, I was finally able to confirm that the documentation had been received. Regarding payments on the website, there is no way to make an additional payment into the escrow account. There is an additional payment blank on the form, but there is no way to designate how that money is distributed.

    Lastly, I don't trust how payments are made to my mortgage loan. It seems to take at least two days before the money is credited to the loan, which makes me wonder if they are accruing interest during the time that the payment is not credited. This company is definitely not committed to its customers.

    So, I check my account monthly. I've paid monthly. Suddenly, I log in today and it says I owe $700+. When I call, the automated system says my last payment of $250 was made on Dec 20th. However, when I look at the statement, there is NO $250 payment indicated. The payment is MORE than $250. Now, they are showing my account as delinquent. When I logged in to pay bills around Dec 31/Jan 1, the amount due was showing as $0 so I did not make a payment. So, I pulled my full statement. It only shows payments... no charges. How can one analyze it? They obviously do not want you to!

    I was unlucky enough to inherit Ocwen through GMAC's collapse 2+ years ago. Since day one of transition, I have been littered with billing issues that seem to be deliberately engineered. It appears as though they create problems so that they can tack on additional fees. I have not missed payments and I'm already been hit with close to $500 in additional fees. Don't bother wasting time trying to fix anything; the second you think you've solved these mysteries, a new problem appears. I have $1800 sitting in an account they call un-applied/suspense and I cannot apply it to anything. Ocwen, incompetence is not an excuse.

    Ocwen has also been deliberately leading me from understanding what my new payments will be from anticipated rate changes and loan balloons. If you ask them before a change, they will tell you not to worry about it, the payment will be the same. I've received formal amortization schedules from them that show this specifically. It does not appear that a loan Modification is an option with them, doubt anyone qualifies. I've been trying for two years, meanwhile my second loan through Wells Fargo qualified for HUD years ago. They are eating me alive and there's nothing I can do.

    I would recommend taking detailed notes of all conversations and cover yourself when dealing with these guys. It is a shame that a company can like this can assume our property notes and act in such a manner. Justice cannot be met fast enough.

I ask what is wrong (since I filled it out exactly as they instructed) and she says she can't tell me what is wrong but to simply send a new one.

    Ocwen took over servicing our mo. mortage to freedom mortgage on about Oct.1, 2014. Wife and I paid twice/month with $75.00 /mo. Add'l principal, all was well. Foreign-speaking Ocwen Service Reps who had no schooling when I asked, said, since our 2nd half of payment came post 15th month, that our pmt. was overdue-applied late fee charges. Add'l principal went either n2 interest, or a "suspense" account. (Tried changing to 1 pmt/mo. Didn't work.). Ocwen changed name @ r Bank of America acct. And w/d 1 1/2 times mo. amt. In spite of us cancelling everything. Ocwen had our routing number and called themselves something like "real America". We have complained to BBB, CPC, County Prosecutor, ok. State atty. Gen. & Criminal atty. Since Ocwen changes their name, cancels their website, we will have to cancel bank acct. And of course applying to another loan co.

    We have been hung-up on 4 times in 3 weeks by foreign-speaking Ocwen Reps who have stated that it is their right to record us on phone, but we can't record them???? On last call to foreign-speaking rep, in spite of asking if there was someone there who spoke English. Have 2 degrees, 1 in acctg., Never seen so many add'l payments put into suspense, which all had add'l principal, and being charged over due & payable late fees. Then changing their name and withdrawing from our bank acct. Another 1 1/2 mo. payment because Ocwen is an LLC, and has our bank routing numbers and can bill from any of several locations. (This is unquestionably felonious and must be stopped and severely punished. ) Just like me robbing a bank. Most all Ocwen Reps speak little English & use this to their advantage in order to hang up & blame miscom on me. Must be busted!!! Please help.

    We had a double wide trailer that was financed. The mortgage was bought by Ocwen and shortly after we paid it off. We had no problems whatsoever getting the correct payoff and no problems processing the payment through our bank. We received a letter from Ocwen stating they had indeed got the correct payoff and the loan was paid off but we have waited 10 months now for our title which in the case of a mobile home is more like a car title than a site built house on a foundation sold with land. I have been unable to reach anyone who speaks English well. When I ask to speak to someone else like a supervisor or someone in the United States or in another department they tell me there is no one else.

    I have a mortgage with PHH Mortgage in Mt Laurel NJ and I am in the process of paying it off (with another lower interest loan). So I send my cashier's check via certified mail to the prescribed address (above) on Dec 24, 2014. A week goes by and I notice my account still has a $36,***.** balance so it is not paid off as I would expect. In the meantime, I have made several calls (and beware-the calls go to the Philippines) they say they have no record of receiving my check. I finally get the people at Mt Laurel, NJ and they also do not see my check. Meanwhile, I am very concerned and have initiated communications with the Senator, Filed a complaint with the Attorney General, and also the New York State Dept. of Financial Services, and attempted to stop payment on Jan 16, 2015 (yes-it's been two weeks with no sign of my payment) and yes- we find the check was cashed by someone.

    During the course of this and prior, I obtained proof of: my check number, a picture of my certified mailing, signature of the receiver at Mt Laurel facility, and a copy of the "cashed" check as deposited on Jan 2, 2015 by PHH Mortgage! I did notice that someone scribbled my account number on the memo-area of the cashier’s check and it was not my writing - if I recall correctly, I neatly wrote my account number on it.

    Furthermore, after many other unmentioned tasks, PHH Mortgage finally said on Jan 16, 2015 that they deposited my check in someone else account and will reverse the charges to my account and honor the January 2, 2015 receipt of the check and will consider that my payoff date. At this time (Saturday Jan 17, 2015) I have yet to see my account as paid off-understanding it is a weekend and they should have the offices open on Jan 19, 2015 to complete my pay off and send me a copy of the lien release.

    In conclusion, my question is: what about other people that attempt to pay off a loan like I did? What protection will they have? How can this be avoided? What if I do not have the fortitude and know-how to navigate the web, consult with institutions, make cold calls and other skills it takes to track things like this? Who would have looked out for me if I did not push through all of the obstacles? Who checks the hand of the bankers at the level in which I had to? These are the errors (or crimes?) that dishevel our security. Who accounts for our losses? Although, not as bad as it could have been. My family and I had to chew on: a week of mental despair, for me, a day off from work and a few days loss of time with my family due to the footwork, writing, phone call, etc...

    I refinanced my loan to settle a divorce through a mortgage company called Beacon around 10 years ago and believe the company was GMAC during that time. My payments kept rising, using the excuse that there was not enough to support my escrow and eventually the payments were so high I could not make them.

    In the process, Ocwen took over the loan and then all hell broke loose, but I took on a new job that paid better and worked all the over time I could to pay my bills to get my credit score back in line and was able for a refi. But the interest was still high but I was able to swing it with overtime.

    That loan was for $129,000.00 but one month after the loan was approved I was laid off and 5 months later I had a heart attack and fell way behind... I healed up and was able to find a job that I could do with my heart issue but it paid half of what I used to make, so got further behind and ended up filing bankruptcy and with my low income was eligible for a low interest HARP loan but still could not swing the payments because my pay off went from $129k to $156k due to all the fees Ocwen tacked on like foreclosure fees, appraisal fees and numerous other fees my attorney never heard of.

    When my attorney contacted Ocwen (and I use that term loosely) and demanded proof of these fees, they never responded back which I believe she has a lawsuit against them for not responding with in 30 days(?). In the meantime I kept getting behind and Ocwen contacted me again and offered another work out program, dropping my interest rate from 5% fixed to 2% fixed and when asked about the over $20,000.00 fees they added on to the loan, I was informed that if I made my payments on time after 3 years, that $3000.00 would be taken off the loan until the fees were gone! That was 7 years ago and it has yet to happened and am still showing delinquent on the loan and when extra money is sent to them, they deduct it from the so called foreclosure fees on my statement rather than taking it from my principal even if I fill the spot on the statement stating to apply the extra towards the principal!

    This is getting very old. The payments keep going up to so called increased escrow fees even though my taxes have only went up a $100.00 a year once since this loan and did not raise in 2014 because I found a cheaper mortgage insurance by dropping my coverage down to the minimum which I doubt is enough to replace my home but had no choice and wonder what excuse they will have this year to raise the payment again(?).

    Help, I am at a loss. I am 58 years old with a heart condition that did help me get approved for the refi but still owe $146,000.00 on this loan. My credit score is in the low 700s but who will touch me or who can help me get a loan and get all these fees erased so that I can get the payment down enough that I will be either be able to pay it off or have a payment low enough so that I can retire by age 67 and be able to enjoy my retirement!

    It stinks. I think I have paid my dues. My loan at the time of my divorce was $89,000.00 and 10 years later owe $146,000.00 and have not been able to afford to buy the things to take care of my heart because of having to give almost half of my check to these crooks! This is the United States of America, what's wrong with this picture...

Their website is a joke, it doesn't even work right half the time. They call you and stalk you within the grace period of paying your mortgage. They cheat you of late fees that you do NOT owe.

    And in addition, they said I needed to mail in letters to make a cancellation of my required home insurance. When I sent it, they said they never received it, stalled to change my payments and then said they sent me the refund check of what they owed me, when I have no letters or checks in the mail. Unorganized, shady, thieves. I want OUT of their mortgage. If you have to finance with them, RUN AWAY!!!

Now in 2015 they changed my rate from fixed to adjustable and again my payment doubled and they now tell me that I need to refinance. I'm also fighting with them because of my home insurance. Ocwen sent a bulk check to my insurance agent with the wrong policy numbers and this has been going on for months.

    With everything I'm readin, there should be a class action suit against Ocwen! My experience is very similar. First off when they bought my loan I was notified that nothing would change and that my loan agreements would remain the same. The 1st month I get a notice saying I'm more than 90 days past due and that I must modify my loan or face foreclosure?! (I'm convinced they get government kick backs for modifications) My payments had always been auto withdrawal and I'd had more than 5 years of one time payment!

    After going round and round, I finally agree to a modification because I've worked too hard to lose my home because of a shady company! We go through everything, I send it all in. Our document states my first payment will be due February 2015. Instead it came out today! Putting my account over $700 negative and they are basically saying tough!

    I'm dumbfounded as they are in breach of their own contract! They sent it out to me filled out!! Now they are saying there is nothing they can do about it?! They have actually caused my financial situation since they bought my mortgage to be worse than it's ever been! I never had a problem paying my mortgage for over 5 years! While on my street over 6 houses were foreclosed on! I prided myself in never having gotten greedy. During the boom, I never took out seconds, I bought wisely and am not upside down, yet now my credit report shows major delinquency and they've made my account negative so much it will be tough to recover by the time the next payment comes due!

    They are bullies, run a very shady business and with what they've done to my account I couldn't even refinance. I am stuck with this company that I believe are simply crooks! A company operating on American Greed and has found a way to defraud the government and make people's situations worse! Something needs to be done!

    This company took over my loan - I have had nothing but problems. Long story short, there is no communication between any departments. I was in a court monitored mediation program, I was told to submit modification package for a VA HAMP modification. I did and was denied because they don't honor VA HAMP. Strike 1. Next time told to submit traditional modification. Denied...strike 2. (The over $4000.00 a month money I make didn't qualify) Every reason I was told was because of investor agreements. When dealing with OCWENs lawyers in court even the judge stated "why not?" when asked about honoring my income.

    To add insult to injury I am a disabled Navy veteran with guaranteed income for the rest of my life, but to OCWEN certain funds don't qualify as income. I am now using a CT state program for assistance and the woman I work with has asked OCWEN for a simple written statement from the company. This BS started 3 weeks ago and we still (after many attempts) are waiting for a reply. I spent 1 hour on the phone today and still got a run around. To top it all off, after another frustrating day with their reps, they hung a random inspection notice on my door.

    Approximately 3 years ago, my mortgage servicer was changed from Saxon Mortgage to Ocwen. This happened immediately after I was approved for a HAMP. I completed my trial payment period with Saxon and then my loan was transferred over to Ocwen. I also made my next payment, post trial period, to Saxon. Saxon reported to Ocwen that I had made my trial period but did not show the next payment. I proved to Ocwen that the payment had been made but they claim the payment was supposed to go to them not Saxon so I was a payment late. For three years, they have attacked my credit rating.

    While this was going on, I was a single father raising my 2 daughters by myself. I proved over and over again to Ocwen that all payments had been made. Every time we tried to discuss the situation, they would lie and change their story. I then took all of this to the Illinois Attorney General's Office. I sent them all of my paperwork and they agreed with me and said they would help me get this cleared up. 3 years later, the Illinois Attorney General's Office is giving me as big a run around as Ocwen. Ocwen has collected thousands of dollars in late fees and additional interest from me over the last three years.

    I currently have the opportunity to start up a small business. However, I am unable to get any funding because Ocwen STILL has my credit score ruined.

I got it taken off within 2 months, faxing confirmation to Ocwen and calling them to verify they received the proof. They informed me my DIL was under review.

    Okay, my wife's mother, who has Alzheimer's and is completely incontinent, was in a care facility. Last April the facility was completely flooded. My wife brought her mom home. Imagine what load that put on her. This corresponded with a renewal of our insurance policy which somehow my wife overlooked in the frenzy. OCWEN then placed forced insurance. The next month my wife got a mortgage statement showing that our mortgage had gone from $1500 per month to $4153 per month. She was confused and didn't know why the amount had gone up so much.

    Accordingly, though she meant to call Ocwen, she didn't have the time. Plus she didn't tell me because of my high anxiety problem. Long story short, I paid $12,600 in December for past months plus December. I then appealed to the Ombudsman for help. In the meantime I couldn't pay $4153 for January because I am over 65 years old. Instead of helping the Ombudsman office told me that my escrow is in arrears for over $15000!!! That is impossible. I wouldn't have had anything to do with GMAC had I known their debt was bought by OCWEN.

    Ocwen is a debt collecting agency and treats everyone like a deadbeat. My wife and I have owned many homes over the years and have never had a mortgage issue.

The bank said since electronic, they can’t help me- they (Ocwen) can enter for any amount. I faxed several letters demanding my checks to be deposited so I have proof- I blocked electronic checks. They then said they bounced for they ignored my written request to deposit and my calls to supervisors documenting my request. I finally write one check (my friend suggested so I can have peace) for they are too stupid to do their job correctly..

    I was assigned a account manager and I sent her all the faxed proof I sent in many times and my photos of my mailed checks where they cashed them for less - to charge me late fees. She was nice and after many months I got a generated letter basically telling me they could not support my claim, and they deposited the correct amount (but could not produce a copy of it as I did!) so will not waive the late fees. (They shorted 4 checks 100.00 over a year and a half's time- I pay a little more- 25.00 bucks or so each time to make it up.) I get foreclosure letters all the time for my whopping 200.00, I'm still short.

    Why can't people/companies fess up to their mistakes when I send written proof- waive the fees at least. I know I still own the 200 since they shorted my check, but the fees should not be billed, that is fraud. Shorting checks to charge fees and if I did not realize over years, I would be foreclosed on. That's wrong. Who does that? I guess I'm lucky they don't pull more than the check is or I’d really be screwed. I feel I have no one to help me and they do whatever they want.

    The State of North Carolina Attorney General's office was wonderful. They jumped right on this and wrote an official letter to OCWEN. OCWEN gave me the data that I needed within two weeks. I then had all the data necessary to pay off my home mortgage.

    Jump forward to about a month ago. Have requested documentation for title. No reply from OCWEN [anyone surprised?]. Wrote them a letter letting them know that if no response in 72 hours, the NC State Attorney General will be engaged [am hopeful that rattling that sword will result in a response].

    Will let everyone know the outcome.

    My GMAC loan was also sold to OCWEN. Have contacted OCWEN 5 times between 11/13/14 and 01/09/15 requesting the details of my payment history prior to March of 2014. Each time told I would be contacted within specified period of time with the data. Never receive a response. I believe that OCWEN has not applied my mortgage payments correctly prior to March of 2014. I am in contact with the NC Attorney General's office and HUD for assistance with this request. Not sure if the AG or HUD will/can help. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I did a refi on my home in 2005 with Option One. American Home Mortgage took over my loan in 2007. AHMSI called me constantly on my cell, at my business, at home always saying I was behind. I never was. I started making two payments a month. In April 2010 I audited AHMSI. My CPA found $28,000 was not applied to principal or interest but eaten up in illegal fees, late charges or held in "suspense". Ocwen is criminal. They are guilty of RICO.

    We were behind with our monthly payments. When we were able to get caught up I tried to make a payment through money gram. Because of a system problem the payment did not go through. Money gram never accepted my payment. (A letter from Ocwen confirming that money gram did not collect my payment was even sent to me.) The following Monday I went to our bank and sent a bank check. I have a receipt. I have documentation that Ocwen received the payment. We have been current since. Confirmation numbers for each payment.

    Now Ocwen is claiming they sent the original attempted payment back to money gram.... Over 60 days later. Money gram has assured me that no payment/reimbursement was received and if they had they could only accept it within a three day period. Why would Ocwen send money gram over 6,000.00 when money gram never took the payment from me? I don't know. However, Ocwen seems to think I should have to find their accounting mistake. And are claiming we are now late again??? Help!

    We bought our home in 2006. We went to home counseling with NHS of SI. The loan was originally through HSBC. We didn't really have any issues with them and were paying on time. One of us lost hours from work during the economic crisis. With a diminished income, we inquired about our options. We applied for a modification to lower payments and interest. The payment went down a mere $100 per month and the interest rate from 6%-5.5%. This was of no help to us at all. We were a family of 7 at the time and needed more of a payment break.

    Subsequently, our loan was sold, traded, transferred (We weren't made aware of anything) to PHH mortgage. From the first monthly payment there were issues. I couldn't pay it online. I called more than 3 times to ask HSBC for help and no one told me that it was changed to PHH. Eventually someone told me of the transfer and what my new account number was. They said that the loan was still with HSBC but being managed by PHH. None of it made any sense to me. We felt like we were sent to PHH because of the modification request.

    In 2014, we missed a payment and two months later another one. They denied a refinance and said the only option was a 6-month repayment plan, which was $800 more per month. We paid from July 2014 to December 2014. Every month that I called to make the payments, I was told that the repayment was until February, or March, or April, or July. Each month my blood pressure increased when I had to speak to them. I reviewed all payments we made through the bank, all the way back to 2013. We only missed the two payments. They don't have their information straight and I don't see how $4,100 in missed payments could equal $9,550 that they want to receive from us.

    At this point, they would not accept our payment this month January 2015. I called the case manager to tell him, and he said that they will not accept less than the repayment amount. I am seeking legal counsel, as they are basically behaving as though I am delinquent and causing harm to my credit score by not taking this month's payment. I don't have the extra money anymore. I have not paid a lot of other bills for these six months in order to sacrifice for this home. With the upcoming winter bills, we are going to need to pay for heat, as well as other bills. I agreed to six months and I don't feel the company is practicing an honest and legitimate business. Who charges more when someone says they can't pay the original fee? I would never recommend this company to my enemy.

    I received a bill from my insurance for my homeowner's policy. As it turns out, the bill was sent to Ocwen but they have not paid. In fact the day I called my agent in regards to this, someone from Ocwen (rather India) had called my agent and said that my insurance policy was for a house in Maryland. My agent said they need to get their records straight and that the policy number was for my address in Georgia and they didn't even insure homes in Maryland! He continued to argue and said he would look into it. From my experiences with Ocwen, their records will continue to be wrong and nothing is ever corrected. Last year I changed insurance companies and my escrow paid the new policy. Then Ocwen paid two payments from my escrow to my old policy.

    They then denied I had insurance and tried to take more money from my escrow that they put in a deficit because of the two payments made to a closed policy to buy insurance from their organization! They also changed my loan number and assigned the old number to someone else. When I accidentally made a payment from online bill pay to the old account number, Ocwen denied I paid them. B of A got involved and they still would not return my money or apply it to the new account number. To make a long story short, I read complaints on this website. It was here that someone said to contact Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It wasn't until the Federal government got involved that Ocwen corrected their mistakes. Since they have messed up my insurance policy AGAIN, I have filed another complaint with the CFPB! Everyone needs to do that. This company needs to have the government close it down!

    We have been in the process of acquiring a loan modification since the beginning of 2014. Things were going fine until Oct 2014 when a random person knocked on my door and told me to contact our mortgage service. We called and were told there is an issue with the modification and we need to set up an appointment to speak with the account counselor. 2 weeks later, we were told there was a problem with the notary stamp. There was a period of approx. 3 weeks when they said my wife wasn't authorized to discuss anything about the account. We got that straightened out and set up another appointment to talk with the counselor. The issue regarding the notary stamp was addressed again and we were then told they would speak to another person in the company and set up another appointment.

    I was then contacted on Dec 30 2014 and told they would not adhere to the modification agreement due to the notary stamp being illegible and we have to make arrangements and pay them $13,000. We questioned the legitimacy of the accusation regarding the "illegible" stamp and they quickly switched the problem to documents that were not properly filled out which hadn't been mentioned as a problem in previous conversations. The next problem told to us, we failed to return documents that finalized the modification that we never received. This company is unscrupulous! I would like to put together another class action lawsuit against this unethical company and its underhanded business practices.

    I have been behind on my mortgage with Ocwen but it is less than the 89 days that requires them to start foreclosure procedure. I make a monthly payment every month to keep it below the 89 days because that would just open up another problem of dealing with them. I made a payment on Dec 22 and money was supposedly taken out the Dec 23, 2014. The following week I noticed the money was still not taken out and I called them about it and then mentioned the holidays so it probably did not show up in my account yet. I received a email confirmation that it was taken out and a statement that it was paid. Well today is the 6th of Jan. 2015 and the money is still in my account and I get the same answer from them, "Don't worry, you're good, there is nothing wrong with your account, its paid." How am I supposed to deal with people like this when there is something clearly wrong and they won't acknowledge the problem.
