CONSENT TO ENTRY OF SANCTIONS
WHEREAS, OLS, OBS, OMS, OFC and OFSPL, through their execution of this Consent Order, consent to the Commissioner’s entry of a Consent Order imposing the following terms:
| 1. |
Acquisition of Servicing Rights: (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, OFC, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including OLS, OBS, OMS and OFSPL (collectively, “Ocwen”) shall not acquire any residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) until April 30, 2018, nor shall Ocwen board any new loans onto its REALServicing platform at any time. The aforementioned restrictions do not apply to loans that are (i) already serviced on the REALServicing platform, including, but not limited to, those that are subsequently modified, refinanced or those that are subsequently converted to an arrangement whereby Ocwen acts as sub-servicer or (ii) required to be repurchased by Ocwen, including Homeward Residential, Inc.
| ||||||||||||||
| 2. | Escrow Account Audit: To demonstrate the adequacy of Ocwen’s current consumer escrow practices, to ensure consumer escrow accounts are accurate, and to identify any consumer harm, Ocwen shall engage an independent third-party (“Auditor”) to review all escrow transactions on the REALServicing platform through statistically significant representative samples of escrowed loans serviced by Ocwen between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2017 (“Escrow Account Audit”). The Auditor will identify the population and representative samples of loans to be reviewed by utilizing the methodology set forth in OFC’s Confidential Request for Proposal dated September 12, 2017 (“RFP”). The Auditor’s testing methodology shall be consistent with the RFP and shall be set forth in a plan (“Audit Plan”) agreed to by Ocwen and the Auditor and not objected to by the Commissioner. The Auditor may revise the Audit Plan to the extent revisions become necessary during its testing, provided it is consistent with the RFP and provided Ocwen agrees to the revision and the Commissioner does not object to the revision. In accordance with the testing methodology set forth in the RFP, the Auditor shall identify any instances where Ocwen did not administer an escrow account for a sampled loan in compliance with laws governing escrow under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, as implemented by Regulation X, the Truth in Lending Act, as implemented by Regulation Z, the Homeowners Protection Act and Connecticut mortgage servicing laws related to the administration of escrow set forth in Sections 36a-716 and 36a-719h of the Connecticut General Statutes, provided that any assumptions, definitions and conclusions made in such RFP to facilitate the Auditor’s review shall not be considered conclusions of law or determinations binding on this Department. | ||||||||||||||
| 3. |
Remediation Plan: Ocwen shall require that the Auditor issue, simultaneously to the Commissioner and Ocwen, no later than thirty (30) days after completion of the Escrow Account Audit, unless an extension is agreed to by the Commissioner, a final report detailing any and all findings, including, but not limited to, any identified errors and consumer harm (which shall include the name of each harmed borrower, the state in which the borrower and collateral are located, the basis for the conclusion of consumer harm and the amount of any actual monetary harm identified) (“Escrow Report”). If the Escrow Report identifies Errors previously remediated by Ocwen, regardless of whether they resulted in financial harm as defined in the RFP, the Auditor will confirm that the corrective actions were sufficient to: (1) remediate the Error, and remediate any other similarly impacted borrowers, and (2) prevent the Error from recurring. Ocwen will provide the Commissioner with documentation of any corrective actions to address any previously remediated Errors. If the Auditor determines that Ocwen did not fully remediate the Errors and/or that Ocwen has not taken sufficient corrective action to prevent the Errors from recurring, within sixty (60) days of issuance of the Escrow Report, Ocwen shall submit a corrective action plan (including remediation if applicable) acceptable to the Commissioner. If the Escrow Report identifies a non-remediated Error, within sixty (60) days of issuance of the Escrow Report, Ocwen shall submit a corrective action plan acceptable to the Commissioner that will remediate the Error, and remediate any other similarly impacted borrowers, including the provision of restitution to fully correct financial harm, and/or to prevent the Error from recurring. Any corrective action plan required by this paragraph shall include specific deadlines for the deliverables specified in the plan. The Commissioner must provide any objections to the corrective action plan within ten (10) days from the date Ocwen submits the plan to the Commissioner. Ocwen shall implement any plan not objected to by the Commissioner and shall adhere to the deadlines set forth within the plan unless an extension is granted by the Commissioner. All identified errors and problematic escrow practices that resulted in consumer harm shall be remediated by Ocwen at no cost to Connecticut borrowers, meaning that, in no instance shall Ocwen seek to recover monies from a Connecticut borrower relating to findings made by the Escrow Review Plan. However, in the event that a prior refund of escrow funds to a Connecticut consumer resulted in a subsequent escrow shortfall, Ocwen shall be permitted to adjust the borrower’s monthly escrow payment to collect such funds in a manner that is compliant with federal and state law. | ||||||||||||||
| 4. | Additional Audits: Upon implementation of any corrective action plan required pursuant to paragraph 3 above, for an error that was not previously remediated, Ocwen shall engage the Auditor to review an additional statistically valid sample of residential mortgage loans potentially impacted by each root cause of an error and/or consumer harm to confirm that the remediation efforts were successfully completed. Ocwen shall continue its remediation efforts until the Auditor is able to confirm that Ocwen’s corrective action plan and remediation efforts have been sufficient. Ocwen shall not board any residential mortgage loans with a known, unremediated error onto a new servicing system pursuant to the POAM. Ocwen shall require that any additional reviews conducted by the Auditor pursuant to this paragraph be done expeditiously. | ||||||||||||||
| 5. |
Complaint Plan: No later than sixty (60) days after the date this Consent Order is issued by the Commissioner, Ocwen shall submit to the Commissioner for review and determination of non-objection a comprehensive consumer complaint resolution plan (“Complaint Plan”) designed to ensure that Ocwen will properly document, timely investigate and remediate consumer complaints considered notices of error pursuant to 12 CFR 1024.35. Ocwen shall revise the Complaint Plan if deemed necessary by the Commissioner. If Ocwen does not receive any required revisions within thirty (30) days of its submission of the Complaint Plan to the Commissioner, Ocwen shall implement and adhere to the Complaint Plan. The Complaint Plan shall include, at a minimum:
| ||||||||||||||
| 6. | Escrow Account Disclosure Statement Review: Ocwen shall engage an independent third party to review and report on the accuracy of Ocwen’s preparation of its Escrow Account Disclosure Statement. Specifically, each month for a period of twelve (12) months following the date this Consent Order is issued by the Commissioner, an independent third party shall review five (5) of the most recent Escrow Account Disclosure Statements prepared by Ocwen for Connecticut borrowers utilizing the methodology set forth in Sections 2.1(b)(3) through (10), inclusive, and (12) of the RFP. The independent third party shall provide a monthly report to the Commissioner on a periodic basis, not later than sixty (60) days from each month-end during the twelve (12) month review period. The Auditor will begin testing Escrow Account Disclosure Statements that are sent in January, and the first report will be provided to the Commissioner no later than April 1, 2018 (sixty (60) days from January 31, 2018). The final report will cover Escrow Account Disclosure statements that are sent in December 2018, and the final report will be provided to the Commissioner no later than March 1, 2019 (sixty (60) days from December 31, 2018). As further described in paragraph 15, Ocwen agrees to pay the Department a penalty of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) if it fails to submit the final report on the Escrow Account Disclosure Statement Review by March 1, 2019. In addition, for a period of twelve (12) months, on a monthly basis commencing on April 1, 2018, Ocwen shall provide a detailed reporting of each escrow account relating to loans secured by residential real property in Connecticut that includes each receipt and disbursement within the preceding month for borrowers in Connecticut. | ||||||||||||||
| 7. |
Financial Condition: No later than thirty (30) days from the date this Consent Order is issued by the Commissioner, OFC shall submit a written plan demonstrating how it will remain a going concern for a period of one (1) year from the date this Consent Order is issued by the Commissioner (“Financial Condition Plan”). The Financial Condition Plan, at a minimum, must take into account, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, all known and reasonably anticipated future liabilities including, but not limited to, costs of necessary audits and anticipated regulatory, law enforcement, or other litigation liabilities or costs exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) arising from any final orders/judgments or settlements and must also demonstrate how OFC will comply with all applicable liquidity and capital requirements. An additional update shall be provided every six (6) months going forward for a period of three (3) years, unless the Commissioner releases OFC from this requirement earlier. OFC shall notify the Commissioner if and when any event occurs that could materially impact OFC’s financial condition, including, but not limited to, any actual or anticipated liabilities or costs exceeding five million dollars ($5,000,000) or if OFC drops below or projects to drop below any applicable liquidity or capital requirement, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of any such event(s). OFC will further submit the following reporting for monitoring compliance with the Financial Condition Plan, with these reporting requirements to be in effect for the period of three (3) years and one (1) month from the date this Consent Order is issued by the Commissioner:
| ||||||||||||||
| 8. | Cease and Desist Requirements: No later than the date this Consent Order is executed by Ocwen, Ocwen shall not act as a mortgage servicer or consumer collection agency in Connecticut without a license, in violation of Sections 36a-718 and 36a-801(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes, respectively. Ocwen agrees to pay a monetary penalty of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) if it fails to comply with such requirement for any office location as further provided in paragraph 15. In addition, OLS shall not violate Sections 36a-498e(7), 36a-716(a), 36a-719d(b), 36a-719h(2), 36a-719h(4), 36a-719h(5), 36a-719h(17) and 36a-719e(2) of the Connecticut General Statutes. | ||||||||||||||
| 9. | Loss Mitigation Outreach Event: During 2018, Ocwen shall partner with one or more non-profit organizations to participate in one loss mitigation outreach event in Connecticut and shall partner with local housing counselors to implement a targeted loss mitigation mailing campaign designed to benefit at-risk Connecticut borrowers. Ocwen agrees to pay a monetary penalty of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) as set forth in paragraph 15 for failure to comply with this paragraph. | ||||||||||||||
| 10. | Complaint Representative: No later than the date of execution of this Consent Order by Ocwen, Ocwen shall identify: (a) an employee with sufficient knowledge and expertise to work directly with the Department to address written complaints from Connecticut borrowers and/or any other complaints brought to Ocwen’s attention by the Department, and (b) a senior executive in its Compliance, Legal or Ombudsman Department to handle any matters requiring further escalation. | ||||||||||||||
| 11. | Quarterly Complaint Reporting: Ocwen will provide a quarterly report to the Commissioner listing all new written borrower complaints received by Ocwen during the preceding calendar quarter and updates regarding the progress of processing previous complaints until those complaints have been resolved. The report will also include a summary of the resolution for closed complaints, including any remediation provided to the consumer. The first report is due on April 15, 2018, and fifteen (15) days after the end of each subsequent calendar quarter, with the last report due on January 15, 2020. | ||||||||||||||
| 12. | Escrow Hotline: Ocwen will develop a dedicated escrow hotline where Connecticut consumers can direct escrow related inquiries. This hotline will be staffed by United States-based personnel and will be available weekdays (excluding holidays) from 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Ocwen shall implement the hotline in a manner so that it is operational not later than March 1, 2018 and maintain the hotline for a period extending three months following the date of transfer of all Connecticut residential mortgage loans from the REALServicing platform to Ocwen’s new servicing platform. Ocwen will include the hotline telephone number on periodic monthly billing statements for all Connecticut borrowers during the period in which the hotline is required to be operational. | ||||||||||||||
| 13. | Notices: All reporting information, whether provided by the independent third-party auditing firm or Ocwen, shall be directed to Carmine Costa, Director, Consumer Credit Division at carmine.costa@ct.gov, or at the Department of Banking, 260 Constitution Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103-1800.

No extension of a deadline will be granted for a reason which is known or reasonably foreseeable by Ocwen at the time of its execution of this Consent Order. | ||||||||||||||
