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.

A representative of Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC, who claimed to be an agent, Chirag
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
Christopher Stoller has refused to provide a copy of the insurance, Ocwen was
placing insurance on the subject property and would be charging $3,000 annually,

Ocwen is violating the consent decree Case No. 13-cv-02025. Ocwen has caused to be filed a fraudulent
Notice of Trustee Sale (Nov. 12,2014) on my family home located Scottsdale Arizona.

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.

Re: Ocwen is violating the Consent decree in Case No. 13-cv-0202
Mr. Smith
Ocwen caused a fraudulent Notice of Trustee Sale of my family home in Scottsdale Arizona. I have advised
Ocwen and their third party representatives to immediately withdraw the Notice of Trustee Sale scheduled for
November 12, 2014 see attached documents, notices of complaints, attorney disciplinary complaints etc.
Please direct Ocwen to vacate the said Notice of Trustee Sale which is scheduled for Nov. 12, 2014 see
attached. The said notice of Trustee Sale is a fraudulent document filed with the Maricopa County Recorders
Office in clear violations of numerous terms of the said consent decree which Ocwen signed and you are
responsible for enforcing. The accompanying documents support my claims. I need you help to enforce theConsent Decree against Ocwen, because they have ignored all of my correspondence.
If you need any other documents, please call me 312-283-9717

Dear Christopher Stoller:
Ocwen Loan Servicings office of the CEO and President acknowledges receipt of your e-mail
correspondence dated October 1, 2014. As the Consumer/Customer Advocate, the Office of the
Ombudsman welcomes the opportunity to respond to your inquiry.
Attached are copies of the signed original Adjustable Rate Note and Deed of Trust signed by Mr.
Philip B. Stone indicating that the loan originated on May 2, 2006, with Countrywide Bank, N.A.
Ocwen commenced servicing this loan from Bank of America (BOA) on September 8, 2012, with
the last payment satisfied on the loan being February 1, 2008 payment.
Please be advised that Quit Claim Deed only transfers the title of the property to the person named
in the deed but it does not relinquish the person who signed the Adjustable Rate Note from their
responsibilities to a lender. However, please note that you did not sign the original collateral
documents.
A review of the loan indicates that Mr. Stone filed for protection under Bankruptcy Chapter 7 on
March 30, 2010, which was eventually discharged on July 19, 2010. As the bankruptcy has been
discharged, Mr. Stone is no longer personally liable for the debt. However, this is still a valid lien
and Ocwen may foreclose its security interest in the Real Property under the terms of the original
loan documents if the required payments are not received in a timely manner.
Please note foreclosure proceedings can be initiated if the loan is delinquent by three (3) or more
payment. Consequently, foreclosure proceedings were initiated on the loan on February 21, 2014; at
that time last payment satisfied on the loan was February 1, 2008 payment.

Attached for your review is the Ocwen Payment Reconciliation History (PRH), which indicates that
Ocwen has not received any payments on the loan since they commenced servicing of the loan and
the resulting loan status.
In order to permanently remove Mr. Stones name from the loan, you may opt to either refinance or
assume the loan. In order to confirm if the loan is assumable and request for an Assumption
Package, you may send in a written request along with a clear copy of the Driver's License to the
fax number at (407) 737-5802. Please note that Ocwen is not in a position to refinance the loans
directly. However, you may wish to approach other financial institutions, in order to refinance the
loan or if required you may contact Ocwens Customer Care Center at (800) 746-2936 for further
assistance regarding this matter.
As of the date of this email, the last payment satisfied on the loan is the February 1, 2008 payment.
The foreclosure is presently on hold. Please note Ocwen will continue to service the loan according
to the terms and conditions of the signed loan documents in order to protect its lien position and
interest in the property.
If you and/or Mr. Stone require any further assistance regarding the loan, you may contact Ocwens
Customer Care Center.
The Office of the Consumer Ombudsman is an advocate in ensuring that Ocwen's servicing of the
loan remains fair, reasonable and proper. If you still have unresolved issues, please feel free to
contact this Office at (800) 390-4656.
Sincerely,
Nilekha Ghate

Ocwen is violating the consent decree Case No. 13-cv-02025. Ocwen has caused
to be filed a fraudulent Notice of Trustee Sale (Nov. 12,2014) on my family home
located Scottsdale Arizona.
Ocwen and its third party agents Western Progressive Arizona, Inc., are attempting

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.

conduct (Thornwood, Inc. v. Jenner & Block, 799 N.E.2d 756 (Ill. App. Ct.

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 consent decree.
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. See Bullock 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,

Mr. Stoller:
Thank you for your email. The Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight has beencreated to assist Monitor Joseph Smith in his court-appointed role to oversee the
participating banks compliance with the national mortgage settlement (NMS). The
Monitors role is dictated by Exhibit D of the Consent Judgments with Ocwen and,
unfortunately, we are unable to intervene on behalf of individual homeowners.
However, there are some resources available to help homeowners and your best
option would be to continue working with your states Attorney General. In addition,
you may also contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at
http://www.consumerfinance.govor 855-411-2372.

Mr. Smith
Ocwen caused a fraudulent Notice of Trustee Sale of my family home in Scottsdale
Arizona. I have advised Ocwen and their third party representatives to immediately
withdraw the Notice of Trustee Sale scheduled for November 12, 2014 see
attached documents, notices of complaints, attorney disciplinary complaints etc.
Please direct Ocwen to vacate the said Notice of Trustee Sale which is scheduled
for Nov. 12, 2014 see attached. The said notice of Trustee Sale is a fraudulent
document filed with the Maricopa County Recorders Office in clear violations of
numerous terms of the said consent decree which Ocwen signed and you are
responsible for enforcing. The accompanying documents support my claims. I need
you help to enforce the Consent Decree against Ocwen, because they have ignored
all of my correspondence.
If you need any other documents, please call me 312-283-9717
Most Cordially,
Christopher Stoller
