NEW YORK, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights
litigation firm, reminds investors that June 20, 2017 is the deadline to petition the court for
lead plaintiff status in the securities class action lawsuit against Ocwen Financial Corp. ("Ocwen" or the "Company") (NYSE:
OCN). If you purchased Ocwen common stock between May 11, 2015 and April
19, 2017, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for more information.
Ocwen Financial Corporation is diversified financial services holding company.
The lawsuit alleges that Ocwen made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business,
operational and compliance policies, specifically its mortgage servicing practices.
On April 20, 2017, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued Ocwen and issued a
press release reporting that the Company had generated errors in borrowers' accounts, failed to credit payments, illegally
foreclosed on homeowners, and charged borrowers for add-on products without their consent.
On that same day, it was further reported that the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks and state
regulators from more than twenty states issued a cease-and-desist order to Ocwen's subsidiaries specifically prohibiting the
acquisition of new mortgage servicing rights and the origination of mortgage loans by a subsidiary of Ocwen, until the Company is
able to prove it can appropriately manage its consumer mortgage escrow accounts.
On this news, Ocwen's share price fell $2.91, or 53.89%, to close at $2.49 on April 20, 2017, harming investors.
