Ocwen has admitted that its mortgage servicing policies and loan processing systems are a “trainwreck”. As regulators and the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau (CFPB) tighten the noose on Ocwen, we recommend that Livinglies readers who have experienced issues with Ocwen contact their state Attorney General offices, the CFPB, state banking regulators and government representatives to express your outrage and share your experience NOW.
Although Ocwen is being investigated for predatory servicing practices, please make regulators aware of the deeper level of fraud that is occurring and consists of fabricating and forging loan instruments including notes and assignments. If you have been subjected to any of Ocwen’s tactics that push homeowners into default please provide this information to the aforementioned agencies.
The regulators found that Ocwen manipulates escrow accounts to create defaults and problems with taxes and insurance, does not respond accurately to submitted Qualified Written Requests, fails to properly post payments, revokes loan modifications without reason, and engages in other tactics designed to create loan defaults. Now is the time to speak up about your experiences. If homeowners damaged by Ocwen inundate the CFPB with complaints, perhaps this predatory servicing operation will be shut-down for good.
It appears that Ocwen’s business model and policies were designed to maximize the chances that a homeowner will default through processes that create confusion, disinformation and a deliberate lack of accountability by Ocwen. Ocwen is not the only loan-servicing entity that engages in these practices, but it is the one currently in the regulatory crosshairs. If these issues are brought to light, other loan servicers may be forced to change their business practices or suffer the same fate.

My hope is they will have to file bankruptcy, so I can file a claim!
WHERE TO FILE A MORTGAGE RELATED COMPLAINT IN RHODE ISLAND? . Why there is no representation in this state? Rhode Island is also a state in the USA acutely lacking oversight for illegal foreclosures and defects in mortgages.
This is just what I was looking for someone to mention the bigger fraudulent ocwen loan servicing not only them worse is their company western progressive Llc and the lawyers Zeive they are robo robo bullshit scam it’s on such a fraudulent scale still to this day they seeped in as trustees and stole my house a few weeks ago

I emailed my “relationship manager” at OCWEN when the news broke ,, restating the failures I have been harmed by and copying every attorney listed in the Pam Bondi suit.

It would probably be a good idea to retain any money you might be considering sending to Ocwen, and keep it in your own separate escrow. Sometime in the next ten days to ten years, the US will rescue OFN and assign you a new servicer. You may experience some turmoil.

Excellent! Thank you so much!
Appreciate your information. Ocwen’s been jerking me around for 10 years. In process of Appeal to Superior Court in North Carolina next month with their henchmen.
Have loads of paperwork, can prove they counterfeit. This may help! Thanks, Neil
