Stiles Chief Financial Officer Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. 2-8 Avenue Charles de Gaulle L-1653 Luxembourg Grand Duchy of Luxembourg R.C.S. Luxembourg: B 72 391 Re: Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. Registration Statement on Form 10 Filed May 13, 2009 File No. 001-34354

Dear Mr. Stiles: We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Registration Statement on Form 10

1. Please revise your cover page to include the Commission file number associated with your Form 10.

Robert D. Stiles Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. June 11, 2009 Page 2 Summary, page 1

2. In the first bullet point under “Altisource’s Competitive Strengths,” you use certain term s: process outputs, solutions, process inputs, and seats. Please explain what those terms mean. Reasons for the Separation, page 4

3. Clarify that to preserve the tax free nature of the spin-off, the company will effectively be prohibited from using its equity as a capital resource for the next two years. How will existing stock options be treated in the Separation?, page 8

4. Advise how the company will value the company stock being distributed in the spin-off, and consider including a risk factor highlighting the fact that the value attributed to the com pany’s common stock in the spin-off might not be equivalent to the company’s market price following the spin-off. Risk Factors, page 11

5. Consider including a risk factor highlighting the fact that Altisource will be a foreign corporation unlike Ocwen. Discuss all the risks that stem from having operations, assets, and management located outside the United States. 6. Consider including a risk factor highlighting the possible dilutive effect the distribution m ay indirectly have on Ocwen shareholders due to the increase in the conversion rate under the existing Ocwen convertible notes. 7. In the second full paragraph on page 23, we note one reason that Altisource is separating f rom Ocwen is that Altisource can pursue clients who are competitors of Ocwen. However, Altisource and Ocwen will continue to have a close relationship because, among other things: • Ocwen generates 40% of the revenues of Altisource, • Ocwen and Altisource will enter into a Transition Services Agreement for a period of two years and three other agreements (the Services Agreement, the Technology Product Services Agreement, and the Intellectual Property Agreement) for a period of eight years, and • Ocwen and Altisource have Mr. William Erbey as a significant controlling shareholder. Given that you will have a close relationship with Ocwen for a considerable period of time, please consider an additional risk factor that addresses whether your close relationship with Ocwen will inhibit your ability to obtain and retain other clients who compete with Ocwen.

15. We refer to the disclosures in this section as well as the related risk factors disclosed on pages 11 and 12. Please revise to describe the transition services agreem ent and specifically address the changes in your results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, and trends that you expect to occur as a result of the separation from Ocwen. It is important for investors to understand your historical financial information when you operated as part of Ocwen and the extent to which management expects the trends and results of operations to continue or change after separation.

We note from the risk factor disclosed on pages 13 and 14 that a substantial part of your revenue and external cash flows will be generated by providing outsourcing services to Ocwen.

We consider “long-term” to be the period in excess of the next twelve months. Clarify whether management believes the company will have sufficient cash and other financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations beyond the next twelve months.

Please confirm whether this is true and, if so, please revise to properly identify Ocwen as the related party. Technology Products, page 51

32. Disclose the individual equity accounts of each of the incorporated entities for each period presented in the com bined financial statements and reconcile the information to total stockholder’s equity on the balance sheet. 33. We note from your disclosures on page 9 and F-8 that your historical financial results contained in this inform ation statement may not be indicative of your future performance as a separate company following the Separation and do not necessarily reflect what your financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had you operated as a separate stand-alone company during the periods presented. All costs of doing business should be reflected in Altisource’s historical financial statements. Please tell us why the financial information may not be indicative of your financial results in the future and as a stand-alone company and how you have complied with question one of SAB Topic 1:B.

34. We note from your disclosures on page F- 7 that Ocwen provides certain corporate f unctions to Altisource, including business insurance, medical insurance and employee benefit plan expenses and allocations for certain centralized administration costs for executive management, treasury, real estate, accounting, auditing, tax, risk management, internal audit, human resources and benefits administration and that management believes that the allocation of expenses is reasonable. We note your reference to a proportional cost allocation method. Please refer to question 2 of SAB Topic 1:B and for each material allocation made to you, revise to provide a detailed discussion of the allocation methods used by Ocwen. 35. Question 2 of SAB Topic 1B further clarifies that you should include footnote disclosure of m anagement’s estimate of what the expenses would have been if the company had operated on a stand alone basis, if practicable and material. We note from your disclosures on page 11 that your historical financial statements do not reflect the increased costs associated with being a stand-alone company including, but not limited to, maintaining a separate Board of Directors and obtaining a separate audit. Disclose management’s estimate of what the expenses

Expand the disclosure of your revenue recognition policy to describe the specific criteria you use to recognize revenue for accounts receivable m anagement, default management services, valuation related services, data processing and IT infrastructure services. Also, disclose the amount of revenues recorded at cost plus markup. 37. You disclose on page F-12 that you “reflect” some of the revenues from Ocwen at cost plus a sm all mark-up and the remainder of the revenues at a rate you believe to be market rates. Please revise your disclosure to clarify whether you recorded revenue at the historical rates charged to Ocwen or if you adjusted revenue to market rates subsequent to the date the transactions occurred. If you subsequently adjusted revenue to market rates, tell us why you believe this is appropriate. Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, page F-16

38. We refer to your amortization of “Component 2” goodwill in the Financial Services segm ent and the disclosures in MD&A at page 55.
