Complaint #1687377 submitted on 12/08/2015 relating to Ocwen. Complaint relates to Mortgage Other mortgage - Loan servicing, payments, escrow account .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 16th December 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I purchased my property through a sheriff sale on XXXX XXXX, 2015 in XXXX XXXX, CA. Cashier 's check was provided to the sheriff 's office for all the outstanding liens and obligations. The sheriff recorded and transferred the property to me on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Around XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a notice of default from Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC . The notice informed me of Ocwen 's intention to proceed with the foreclosure of the property. It took 2 months of me trying to establish communication with Ocwen and {$35000.00} in legal fees to finally realize the basis for their claim. Ocwen argued that they had not received payments. The original loan amount paid off by the sheriff 's office to Ocwen was {$250000.00}. Ocwen was now demanding and additional {$44000.00} to stop the foreclosure. Upon subpoena of sheriff 's record, it was found that the payment for the exact amount of loan was mailed out to the address provided by Ocwen promptly after the completion of the sale. Ocwen refused cooperation and the investigation into what happened with the check. Furthermore, Ocwen tried to quash the subpoena for their internal records to clarify the mystery of the lost check. In a court appearance on XXXX XXXX, 2015, the judge 's interim decision was that Ocwen needed to stop the foreclosure proceeding, fill out and sign under oath, a statement indicating that they had not received the check. This statement needed to be forwarded to the sheriff 's office before another check could be reissued. Ocwen did not forward the signed letter to sheriff 's office until XXXX XXXX, 2015. After 6 months of deliberate delays by Ocwen, now that they have the reissued check, they are asking us to pay an additional {$13000.00}. or face foreclosure. The attorney for Ocwen knows that challenging their outrageous demand, will cost the consumer much more in legal fees. Therefore, the helpless consumer will most probably choose to pay the unjust fees than to go through a costly legal battle and/or face foreclosure. Ocwen has created a cloud on my title. Ocwen 's lack of cooperation, excessive and deliberate delays, as well as their reluctance to resolve this matter is due to their policy of adding up costs and fees for the consumer. They do not conduct their business in an ethical and honest manner.
