...the former customers of the now defunct ContiMortgage, who had their loans purchased by CitiFinancial (a division of CitiGroup), who in turn sold the servicing rights on the mortgage loans to Fairbanks Capital Corp. (just read any of the Rip-off Reports on Fairbanks and you'll get an idea on what kind of company Fairbanks is), as well as others who have their mortgage loans serviced by Fairbanks, have a website set up specifically for them with information, message boards, articles and resources intended to help borrowers deal with Fairbanks. They also work in conjuction with this site for borrowers to share their horror stories. Former customers of Homeside Lending (a division of Washington Mutual) also have a website like this as well. I think Ocwen borrowers would benefit from having a resource like that as well. By the way, the people that administer the Fairbanks borrowers' site are also well aware of Ocwen and how it operates.

Does anyone have any idea on how this can be done effectively? We must all join together and act as one! We have the law and justice on our side! We need to make this fight as personnal for them as they have made it for us. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Please post any suggestions. But remember they are always watching! Let the whole world know what evil they are doing, including their friends and family.

I'm sending this to people in every state and especially those in or near Washington DC. You need to get some paper and a new printer ribbon and print off every one of these report. Then go to a copy shop and have several copies made.
Then call your local media. Most of the have a consumer help department. Tell them about how we are trying to make sure that our elected officials can't say they don't know about this company.
Then go to your state capitol, or possibly if you live near Washington, go there. Have the local media if you possibly can, TV station, local newspaper reporters, and give a copy to the State Attorney General (and if he says it isn't in his purview, remind him that the foreclosure sales take place in his state) and the Governor. Go to your state house and ask to speak to your senator and representative, or the leader of the Senate or House. Give them a copy.
Our government's only function is the protection of it's citizens, and they're not doing their job. If they try to pass you along, remind them of this. They know people who know how to stop this in it's tracks with an injunction against Ocwen until it can be investigated by the OTC and the Justice Department.
Also, by the way, it would be really great if we could have a way to communicate with each other. We have a huge battle before us.
People shouldn't have to go through this.

I too have written many letters, including one to the Office of the Attorney General (Bill Lockyer) in CA requesting assistance from his office. In return, I received a rather discouraging response. They said I needed to contact the "Office of the Comptroller of the Currency" as that type thing was out of their purview. Well that would be fine if I was having problem with a National Bank. But I'm not... Ocwen Federal Bank is a Federal Bank, and as such, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Better named by Mr Hanson as "Old Toothless Stinky" Oh well I guess if they are bright enough to figure that one out they wouldn't have been much help anyway.
