While the record of the foreclosure is valid and should remain regardless of the fate of the bank, technically it may be possible to remove it from your credit. Like any other item on your credit report you must dispute it. If you can supply reasonable evidence that the debt item is not yours, the credit agencies (Trans Union, Experian & Equifax) have 30 days to verify that the debt item is yours and reporting correctly. If the bank is no longer operating this may not be possible. However, if the bank was purchased by another entity or its records are otherwise managed by an exisiting company, verification may be possible.

Can a foreclosure be removed from your credit report?

Foreclosures can be removed from your credit report like any other negative item. You must dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the foreclosure or it must be removed from your credit report. With the higher amount of foreclosures lately you have a better chance of it being removed. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Foreclosure from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "foreclosure account" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The bank that held your mortgage may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.

If You Paid The Bank All Moneys Owed, And At Present Are Credit Wise Clear With The Bank. Take Your Report To A Loan Officer Then File A Report With The Credit Reporting Company, This Should Clear This From Your Credit Records.


You had foreclosure proceedings started but you sold the home and paid off the bank in full Can the foreclosure proceeding started be remove from your credit report?

If foreclosure proceedings were initiated, and that is all that is claimed on the credit report, then the bank cannot change the report. If the credit report shows that the foreclosure took place, however, the bank would have to correct that. Similarly, a credit card company won't take back any delinquent payments reporting just because the card was paid off. They are legally obligated to report accurately.

Could a pending foreclosure cause a bank loan to be declined?

Yes, if one got the loan after foreclosure proceedings began. When banks make credit decisions, they want to consider as much up-to-date information as possible. If a foreclosure is coming up but is not on the credit report, the bank may grant the loan. Once the foreclosure shows up on the report, the bank will conduct due diligence and see if they would have granted the loan knowing about the foreclosure. Most banks would not and will call the loan, making you responsible for paying immediately.
