Getting attacked when I don't have a bounty?
I'm in the Dark Brotherhood on the quest recipe for disaster, but when I go to get the guy from the town the guards try to kill me even though I don't have a bounty. I checked if the same happened in other places and they still attack me and I don't have a bounty. How can I fix this?

You can try to use the command "paycrimegold" - simply use your curser and tap on a guard, then write this command. If this doesn't work, please say what is attacking you - normal guards, bandits, the emperor men(The Occuloti) because if they attack you you can kill them and the guards might even help you.

This is said to be due to a thief being in town when you arrive. Surrendering to a guard should fix this. To surrender, sheath your weapon and try talking to them. Holding block should help if they won't talk normally.How do I stop being attacked in Skyrim?

An NPC bounty hunter will come after you and he'll actually talk first, giving you the option to pay the bounty and it'll clear it up. Show activity on this post. Leave town and wait 48 hours if all the people are attacking you in the town.Why am I being attacked in Understone keep?

Have you tried going to some far away place and rest for 30 days? This resets the quest area and NPCs and might fix the problem.

I can't comment yet, but I/we need more info. Is it when you enter Markath to speak with Anton Virane? Having this info, will help us help you.
If that's the case, there's a well known bug, that the guards at Understone Keep will be hostile due to an earlier bounty. Unfortunately it's not fixed by the (Un)official patch yet. Have you tried reloading a save from before you get the quest, and then enter the area before taking the quest? My guess would be to reload an older save.
In general, and especially with mods installed, it's time saving in the long run, to make a hard save every 30 minutes or so. As in Esc > Save > New Save. It takes less than 30 seconds, but can save hours if you run into a bug like this. After a while, when you're sure you don't need the saves, it's simple to delete them to save harddrive space.

Wait and rest in another town or in the wilderness for 30 days or more to reset guards.
