    2/1/2015 Ocwen to Pay $3.7 Million to Settle Massachusets Claims - Bloomberg Business

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-16/ocwen-to-pay-3-7-million-to-settle-massachusets-claims

    The Massachusetts settlement follows last years accord with regulators in which Ocwen, th

    fourth-biggest mortgage servicer in the U.S., agreed to provide $2.1 billion in relief to

    homeowners to settle claims over abuses in its handling of borrowers loans. Massachusetts

    claimed Ocwen broke state laws by failing to send notices to homeowners whose loans were

    in default and to execute and file public notices when mortgages were assigned to other

    parties.

    Litton Home Servicing LP, a company acquired by Ocwen, also violated state laws by

    starting home-foreclosure proceedings without holding the underlying mortgages, the

    Massachusetts attorney general said.

    Ocwen, which is a loan servicer and not a bank, is also being investigated by New York

    Department of Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky.

    John V. Britti, chief financial officer for Atlanta-based Ocwen, didnt immediately reply to

    phone call seeking comment on Coakleys announcement. Ocwens media relations team

    also didnt immediately reply to an e-mailed request for comment.

    Unnecessary Challenges

    Massachusetts homeowners faced unnecessary challenges due to these companies failure

    to provide proper notices and by initiating illegal foreclosures, Coakley said. This

    agreement provides for direct relief for affected borrowers and requires that Ocwen

    undertake efforts to repair problem titles in the Commonwealth.

    Lawsky, in February, asked Ocwen for information about potential conflicts of interestbetween the company and affiliates that supplied it with mortgage-management services

    and were controlled by Ocwens Chairman William Erbey.

    The superintendent in April expanded that probe to include a review of possible conflicts o

    interest with a related auction service.

    Hubzu, an online auction site used to sell homes facing foreclosure, seemed to be charging

    Ocwens customers three times as much as others, according to an April letter from Lawsky

    Hubzu is a subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions SA, an affiliate of Ocwen.

    The relationship between Ocwen, Altisource Portfolio, and Hubzu raises significant

    concerns regarding self-dealing, Lawsky said in the letter to Ocwen.

    Energy Bargain Hunters Plow Record AmountsInto ETFs

    (Bloomberg) -- Bargain-seeking investors have turned bullish on embattled energy stocks,

    plowing record amounts into the industry.

    More than $3.13 billion went into exchange-traded funds holding stakes in Exxon Mobil

    Corp., Schlumberger Ltd. and other energy stocks this month, even as the price of oil fell 22

    2/1/2015 Ocwen to Pay $3.7 Million to Settle Massachusets Claims - Bloomberg Business

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-16/ocwen-to-pay-3-7-million-to-settle-massachusets-claims

    , .

    year and more than the prior record in December 2007, when oil was trading near $91 a

    barrel.

    There definitely seems to be evidence of investors seeking to bottom-fish this market and

    pre-position for 2015, David Mazza, head of ETF research at State Street Corp., said in a

    phone interview. Some investors weve spoken with dont believe the negative picture on

    energy thats become consensus.

    Investors are betting on a higher long-term price for crude oil. Brent, the global benchmark

    has traded around $60 a barrel since mid-month, after dropping by half from its June high

    A stabilization in futures prices since Dec. 15 has helped energy stocks rebound for the past

    two weeks.

    Oil slipped to a five-year low of $56.74 in London. Brent futures have plunged 51 percent

    from their June high.

    Longer-term investors, two to three years from now, will look back on this and say, God,

    that was a good buying opportunity, said Fadel Gheit, a New York-based energy analyst

    for Oppenheimer & Co. For short-term investors, its not going to be very pretty for the nexfew months.

    ETFs are increasingly seen as a bellwether of investor sentiment because they allow broad

    bets across a sector with lower transaction costs than buying individual stocks. Year-to-

    date, energy ETFs have attracted $9.25 billion of new money, the most of any sector behind

    real estate funds and more than triple the same period in 2013.

    Analysts Bullish

    Analysts remain comparatively bullish on energy, forecasting that 44 companies in the

    Standard & Poors 500 will rise 23 percent in 12 months. Thats more than twice as much as

    the next-best industry, the materials sector that includes International Paper Co. and

    Monsanto Co.

    2/1/2015 Ocwen to Pay $3.7 Million to Settle Massachusets Claims - Bloomberg Business

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-16/ocwen-to-pay-3-7-million-to-settle-massachusets-claims

    The fall in prices has caused several oil companies to cut back spending for 2015. The S&P

    500 Energy Index dropped 27 percent from a June high, when oil peaked for the year,

    through Dec. 15 when prices began to stabilize. The index, which includes Exxon and

    Chevron Corp., has risen 10 percent since the middle of the month.

    Per-share profit for the coming year is expected to rise an average of 69 percent among

    energy stocks, according to the analysts.

    Peel Onion

    If you peel back the onion a bit and look at earnings expectations from analysts and the

    fundamentals, the picture is not as bleak as it may seem, Mazza said.

    State Streets Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, the largest ETF comprising energy stocks,

    has taken in $1.85 billion this month, the most of any industry-based exchange-traded fund

    Almost $460 million was invested in the past week. The ETF is trading at a slight premium

    to the underlying value of its holdings. A share costs 21 percent less than the June record,

    when oil prices were above $100 a barrel.

    Investors who put money into the State Street SPDR during the prior monthly record for

    inflows, in December 2007 when the average price was $79.35, saw it climb to above $90 by

    May. The ETF then declined by more than half as oil prices collapsed during the 2008

    financial crisis.

    Trading volume in the State Street Energy SPDR this year is 44 times higher than in 2000,

    according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

    The market value of sector-specific ETFs has risen 78-fold since 2000 to $312.6 billion as of

    yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Energy ETFs climbed 129-fold, to

    $44.4 billion over the same period.

    FORM B18 continued (12/07)

    EXPLANATION OF BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGEIN A CHAPTER 7 CASE

    This court order grants a discharge to the person named as the debtor. It is not a dismissal of the case and itdoes not determine how much money, if any, the trustee will pay to creditors.

    Collection of Discharged Debts Prohibited

    The discharge prohibits any attempt to collect from the debtor a debt that has been discharged. For example, acreditor is not permitted to contact a debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise, to file or continue a lawsuit, to attach wagesor other property, or to take any other action to collect a discharged debt from the debtor.[In a case involvingcommunity property:There are also special rules that protect certain community property owned by the debtor'sspouse, even if that spouse did not file a bankruptcy case.] A creditor who violates this order can be required to paydamages and attorney's fees to the debtor.

    However, a creditor may have the right to enforce a valid lien, such as a mortgage or security interest, againstthe debtor's property after the bankruptcy, if that lien was not avoided or eliminated in the bankruptcy case. Also, adebtor may voluntarily pay any debt that has been discharged.

    Debts That are Discharged

    The chapter 7 discharge order eliminates a debtor's legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, butnot all, types of debts are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed. (If this case wasbegun under a different chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and converted to chapter 7, the discharge applies to debtsowed when the bankruptcy case was converted.)

    Debts That are Not Discharged.

    Some of the common types of debts which are not discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case are:

    a. Debts for most taxes;

    b. Debts incurred to pay nondischargeable taxes;

    c. Debts that are domestic support obligations;

    d. Debts for most student loans;

    e. Debts for most fines, penalties, forfeitures, or criminal restitution obligations;

    f. Debts for personal injuries or death caused by the debtor's operation of a motor vehicle, vessel, or aircraftwhile intoxicated;

    g. Some debts which were not properly listed by the debtor;

    h. Debts that the bankruptcy court specifically has decided or will decide in this bankruptcy case are notdischarged;

    i. Debts for which the debtor has given up the discharge protections by signing a reaffirmation agreement incompliance with the Bankruptcy Code requirements for reaffirmation of debts; and

    j. Debts owed to certain pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, other retirement plans, or to the Thrift SavingsPlan for federal employees for certain types of loans from these plans.

    This information is only a general summary of the bankruptcy discharge. There are exceptions to thesegeneral rules. Because the law is complicated, you may want to consult an attorney to determine the exacteffect of the discharge in this case.

    Patel, on March 26, 20141, informed Christopher Stoller, that he was required to

    have insurance for his property pursuant to a residential mortgage and since

    placing insurance on the subject property and would be charging $3,000 annually,

    for a home owners insurance policy that would generally cost about $300.00 per

    year.

    Trustee Sale with the Arizona Maracopa Counter Recorders office which is attached, against the former owner,

    Philip Stone, of the said real estate, who's debts were discharged in bankruptcy.

    Ocwen is in complete violation of the consent decree which is evidences by their latest Notice of Trustee Sale

    documents which are attached. Ocwen is in contempt of court by the said filing.

    I have contacted Ocwen, their third party agents, their attorneys, Robert R. Maddox, J.Riley Key,who are

    aidding and abetting, Ocwen in their wrongful conduct (Thornwood, Inc. v. Jenner & Block, 799 N.E.2d 756(Ill. App. Ct. 2003)) and Indirect Criminal Contempt of a criminal (Rule 42(b) is not to be tested by the more

    stringent standards set for an indictment. SeeBullock v. United States, 265 F.2d 683, 691-92 (6th

    Cir.), cert. denied, 360 U.S. 909 (1959)).

    I have demanded that Ocwen and its attorneys Robert R. Maddox, J.Riley Key, take the necessary

    remedial action and withdraw the Notice of Trustee Sale for November 12, 2014 and Ocwen and their

    attorneys have thus far refused in violation of the said consent decree. . I have filed attorney disciplinary

    complaints against their lawyers in Florida. See attached.

    The Alabama Bar has advised me that if Ocwen's attorneys Robert R. Maddox, J.Riley Key do not

    immediately take the necessary remedial action to advise their client Ocwen to issue a

    letter permanently rescinding the Notice of Trustee Sale attached hereto, the Alabama bar will

    seek disciplinary action against Robert R. Maddox, J.Riley Key and the Georgia Bar will seek

    disciplinary action against Timothy M. Hayes, General Counsel to Ocwen.

    I have contacted Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight, Monitor Joseph Smith, who informed me

    that I should contact your Office of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and make them aware of

    Ocwen's violation of the consent decree, evidence by the attached fraudulent Notice of trustee Sale. Mr. Smith

    also directed me to the respective State Attorney Generals who have an interest in Ocwen's violating the consentdecree.

    I am requesting that you direct a letter immediately to Ocwen, its officers and directors demanding that Ocwen

    issue a letter to Christopher Stoller advising that the Notice of Trustee Sale set for November 12, 2014 is

    permanently vacated otherwise we will be forced to file a Petition for Indirect Criminal Contempt against all of

    the officers, directors and attorneys who represent Ocwen (a criminal contempt petition filed under Rule 42(b) is

    not to be tested by the more stringent standards set for an indictment. SeeBullock v. United States, 265 F.2d

    683, 691-92 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 360 U.S. 909 (1959).

    Please respond by October 5th, 2014.

    Most Cordially,

    /s/ Christopher Stoller
