Foreclosure Removal
A foreclosure is the single most damaging mark you can have on your credit report. We specialize in finding the reporting errors that force bureaus to delete them.
The Heavy Burden of a Foreclosure
Losing a home is devastating. But the punishment continues long after you've moved out. A foreclosure stays on your credit report for seven years, signaling massive risk to any future lender.
It can drop your score by up to 160 points. It makes renting an apartment incredibly difficult, as landlords view foreclosures as a major red flag. And it typically requires a waiting period of 3 to 7 years before you can qualify for another conventional mortgage.
However, the mortgage industry is notorious for reporting errors, especially during the complex transfer of servicing rights and the foreclosure process itself.
If the bank, the servicer, or the credit bureaus cannot verify every single detail of the foreclosure with 100% accuracy, the Fair Credit Reporting Act dictates that the item must be removed.
Robo-Signing & Paperwork Errors
Banks process thousands of foreclosures. Missing signatures, incorrect dates, and lost promissory notes are incredibly common and can invalidate the reporting.
Servicer Transfers
When your mortgage is sold from one servicer to another, data is often lost or corrupted. This creates discrepancies across the three credit bureaus.
How We Attack Foreclosures
We conduct a forensic review of how the foreclosure is reporting across all three bureaus to find the fatal flaws.
Cross-Bureau Audit
We meticulously compare how Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are reporting the foreclosure. Any discrepancy in dates, balances, or status is a violation.
Verification Demands
We demand the bureaus verify the physical documentation of the foreclosure. If the bank cannot produce the original note or proof of proper procedure, it cannot be reported.
Aggressive Disputes
We use advanced factual disputing tactics based on the FCRA and Metro 2 compliance standards to force the deletion of the inaccurate foreclosure record.
