this is kind of a tuff situation. there are a few things that come to mind. the first thing that comes to mind, if this ocwen/nationwide collection agency did purchase your account from the original creditor then most likely they would have the title and be able to reposess the vehicle. now if capital one maybe just used them as a 3rd party to try and collect on it then i can understand what they are saying. from what i understand with your conversation with Capital one they claim to still have posession of the title. so if that is true then i wouldnt worry about this ocwen agency. now the part about you not sending that last pmt, every company is diffrent so i can only speculate at this point, but i would figure with the account already being charged off, and having such a small balance they probably just considerd it a settlment, at this point its well worth it to them to eat the remaining 300 and somthing dollars to be able to get rid of the account. depending on how long its been charged off. i know some companies when a balance gets down to a certain percent they will just go ahead and close the account and consider it paid in full, but i'm talking 20-30 dollars in those cases, not the 300 and somthing. hope any of this helps or makes sense, there are other questions and facts i would need to know in order to make an educated guess, but if capital one says they are sending you the title i would be a little cautious until you recieve it. but they can tell you what day it was processed and mailed out? that way you can look for it in the mail.
