Current EventsMaine and 20 other States take action against Ocwen. On Thursday, April 20, 2017 the State of Maine Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection joined mortgage regulators around the country in issuing a Cease & Desist order against loan servicer Ocwen, its affiliates and subsidiaries, prohibiting the company from accepting new servicing business or originating new loans until it improves its loan servicing practices to prevent further harm to homeowners. Multi-state compliance examinations confirmed large-scale deficiencies in the company's mortgage servicing practices, including failing to properly credit consumers' payments and mis-handling of escrow accounts established to ensure timely payment of homeowners' taxes and insurance. A review of consumer complaints from Maine residents showed a pattern of deficiencies consistent with those uncovered in other states. The company has the right to appeal the Cease & Desist order.
