Refinancing Home Mortgage
In: Mortgage Lenders
28 Apr 2010I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and included my mortgage in the bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was discharged and I moved out of my property. Then I find out that the mortgage company has placed “Foreclosure Proceedings Started” on my credit report. These proceedings started after the debt had been discharged and I had moved out. Is this correct or is there a way to force the mortgage company to remove this from my credit report? Lenders are treating this like a foreclosure now instead of a bankruptcy.
This is about mortgage information questions.

If you mortgage was included in your bankruptcy and the debt was discharged your credit report should read “Included in bankruptcy” and show a $0 balance.
You can either dispute this account with the credit bureaus or have your lawyer fire off a strongly worded letter to your ex mortgage company.

This should all be included in your bankruptcy filings and seems to be a credit company issue more than anything. Be sure to contact your credit reporting company or all three in order to clear all of these matters up. They will most likely need something in writing along with your credit report. It takes a little bit of time and effort, but in most cases can be cleared up after a while. It is rather unfortunate, but this sort of thing happens all the time. For more information on credit reporting and how to find out more just visit credit reporting sites such as Equifax, TransUnion or Experian for more info. Free credit reports can be obtained at sites online. Do enough research and you will find plenty of answers in your particular area of need.
