Ocwen Finance unjustified interest rate increase, unwilling to work with us in time of need Orlando Florida

We had our mortgage sold to Ocwen by another company and as soon as Ocwen took over we had problems with proof of insurance and property taxes, after a few months the interest rates started going up every 6 months like clockwork by on whole percentage point every 6 months; till we ended up at 10.25% interest.We contacted Ocwen about this because our credit rating was fairly good and there was no reason to raise our rate other than greed, we were told at the time that they had the right to raise the rate all the way to 13%; at that time I asked if I should be contacting my congressman about this and was told there was nothing illegal being done, however 2 weeks later we got a letter that the rate was being dropped by 1 percent, down to 9.25%.We made all of our payments on time, and when the company I work for went on strike I tried to get Ocwen to defer the mortgage to help us out, and was told they do not do that; that they were a debt collection agency and not a mortgage company. They then gave me the run around when the payment was not made, telling me they were willing to help, but every route we went ended up in a dead end or Ocwen stating that they had not received the financial information that we sent to them.We are now 6 months late on our mortgage, and now I am going back to work with a rather large payment of over $3000.00 due.

Ocwen charging me late charges of $1520.25 and I have never been late and I have copies of my payments

ocwen has been sending me statements in the mail saying that i have current late charges of over a year old. i was never late and i told them this. now i receive an letter for them saying to aviod possible negative consequences of unpaid past due amounts on your mortgage loan without having to increase your payments.
they want me to sign this notice saying that they can add this amount to my mortgage or this may result in foreclosure. i will not sign this notice because i donot owe ocwen late charges.
this company should have never been in this business, they are only trying to ripoff as many people as they can, before they are closed down.
any type of suites filed against them i am with you all the way. someone has to stop them from ripping honest people off.
i am so thankful that i am one of those people that makes copies of everything.
my sugguestion to all the readers is to always check into any company you deal with(sometimes things may seem good at first but there may be a trick down the line).
Never late

Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC Ocwen not disclosing where our payments are going, always being told we are 'late' with added fees!

We also refinanced our home with Aegis Mortgage and went through a hardship which caused us to be late on our mortgage. Ocwen began calling and said they were a collection agency for Aegis and we needed to work with them. However, when I called Aegis, they stated they had no knowledge of Ocwen.Soon, we started receiving information that Ocwen was our new mortgage holder. We made a move across the country and have this mortgage in MI and a rental payment at our new home. We fell behind and they started foreclosure. We could not reach any human, and would wait up to 2 hours to be placed with a person who told us he was working in India. After continued calls, we finally reached an American named Kimberly.Kimberly worked with us to set up a restorative program, asked us when our paychecks came in, and then requested several thousand dollars the day BEFORE our paydate! We borrowed from a friend and then sent in the money.Our problems now come from the following:1. We received a notice we'd be getting back $1100 in an escrow overage. When the money was never received, and I called, we were then told an analysis of our account was $7000 NEGATIVE and they were raising our payment from $870 to $1100.2. Our payments, made through Money Gram, never are enough and there are charges and fees that appear on our statement that we cannot get an explanation for and appear to keep mounting.3. We were told by one rep that if they determine we send 'extra money' it is not applied to fees, or charges, but they keep it in a suspension account! There was over $700 in this 'account' by this person's estimate. A later phone call gave us a rep who denied any suspension account exists.4. Now, without explanation, our payment is now listed at $1200 per month!How does one get this type of problem resolved? Who can help?

Ocwen - REO Properties Stole our family home twice Nationwide

I can't help it anymore I have to vent. We have been dealing with this company since 2000 when we bought our home. Our loan was sold to Ocwen and after the first time we were lucky enough to refinance away from them, but unlucky us our refinanced loan was bought again by them several months later. We finally were doing well with our own business and then got ripped off by a family member we were partners with and lost everything. Ocwen made every attempt to take our house including during the bankruptcy we had to file although they were well aware of the situation. Then an attorney for REO Properties/Ocwen got involved (the law offices of les zieve) and they came after us hard even during bankruptcy. They attempted to keep our attorney hopping by filing various paperwork via the courts monthly. The kicker is Ocwen/REO sold our house TWICE within 5 months of each other all of this while they faxed us a loan modification form and accepted monthly payments through both sales. The attorney representing them Lisa cussed me out for questioning this action. Even after the sales they were sending us statements asking us to send payment. WOW. We currently were served with an unlawful detainer by the offices of les zieve although an attorney which we have passed on to our attorney. Our attorney is utterly amazed at what is going on. The kicker...Ocwen has a second attorneys office that is negotiating a remodification with our attorney. They do not know who is in charge at these offices, nor do they care. They put all their mistakes in writing and have no qualms about attempting to kick you out of your home right or wrong. Two days prior to thanksgiving they gave us a copy of the unlawful detainer in front of the kids (the server for process was a jerk). Anyway, we have joined a class action lawsuit against them and I am preparing to send all of this information to the Fair Housing offices and any other congressman or representative that will listen in the states of California and Florida. This company is scary and the information that I have provided is not a joke. I feel as if I am going to have a heart attack at any time. They don't care who they prey on and don't care who they hurt. People fall on hard times as we all can tell in this economy. Can't the government bail regular people out of dealing with OCWEN?

OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC ANYONE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC ORLANDO Florida

After reading many of the reports filed on this site, it has come to my attention that it is time the home owners should file a class action suit against this company. I too have had the same problems as many of you that have already reported. We were given to Ocwen when Aegis Mortgage Company filed Bankruptcy. We were on a forebearance program and then in November were sent a letter to bring the account current, that we would longer be on the forebearance program. The first certified letter came November 16 with a demand payment by December 16. Then we get a second certified letter dated November 19 with a demand payment for 1/2 the payment of the November 16 letter to be made by December 16. Then we get a third certified Demand letter December 17 demanding payment by January 17 with the same amount of money due (adding $5.21 more to the payment) that was due in the November Letter. We are current with our payments. We have proof of this. So what they are trying to pull, just does not make sense and to reach them by phone is a nightmare. To email them, you are really lucky if you get a reply of which they claim they will replay to you within 15 days. Whoop tee doo!! According to the Govenment Pamphlet on Fair Credit Practices, Section 805, clearly states that frequent calling (of which no one is on the other line either) is a form of Harrassment and is illegal. Well, with reading all the reports that have been given on this web site, maybe it is time that a class action lawsuit be filed to wake the company up. Oh, by the way, when they outsource to third world companies, and then ask for my social security number, are they crazy!!!! There is no way in 'Gods Green Earth' I am going to give anyone outside the United States my Social Security Number. I contacted my attorney and she said we have a great case. Maybe someone should put their money where their mouths are and prove to others that they honor what they say on their Web site. Do I have any takers. If you are interested in going with me in a class action law suit, please contact me through this web site and I will find a way that we can all communicate to get one started. I will watch this site daily to see how many people are really serious about starting the procedure. Without you there will be no releif for so many of us and more in the future.
