In todays environment, 3Q '07, it is becoming increasingly hard to Refinance a Mortgage or Purchase a Home if you have had a NOD (Notice of Default) or NOF (Notice of Foreclosure) letter issued to you, even if you have fixed the problem.
A good Mortgage Broker can help you locate a company willing to look at your loan request anywhere from 24 to 36 months from the date the notice is reported on your credit report.
If the date on the actual notice differs from the date on your credit report, then you can dispute the report data if it works in your favor.

Does the lender of a second mortgage have any recourse if the payments become late?
Yes, they will report the late payments to the credit bureaus which will damage your credit score, and if enough payments are missed can commence a foreclosure action on the property.
How does foreclosure impact my credit score?
Foreclosure can have a drastic effect on your credit score. Your credit rating decreases with missed payments on your home, as well as other bills. In addition, the foreclosure itself can lower your score by over 100 points. In addition, a foreclosure can stay on your record for seven to ten years. Forclosure can and will have a very negative impact on your credit score. This is an unfortunate by product of the recent economic crisis.
What is the impact of a foreclosure on your credit score?
Foreclosure and FICO The total impact of a foreclosure on ones credit report is estimated to be between 200-300 points. The foreclosure itself accounts for 125 -175 points and the late payments that led up to the foreclosure account for the remaining point deductions. Ironically, the higher your score was to start with the more points will generally be deducted. After several years (2-3) your credit score will have rebounded substantially as long as other payments are maintained. You can expect anywhere from a 50-100 points penalty remaining on the report at this point.
Can I lose my house in Wisconsin because I have bad credit?
As long as you were given a mortgage and are keeping up the payments, you are not likely to lose it. However, if you fail to make payments on time, bad credit is likely to increase the chances of foreclosure.
Does is make a difference if you have one foreclusure or 2?
The first foreclosure will have the largest impact on one's creditworthiness as the home is considered the most important asset to protect (largely by keeping up with mortgage and tax payments). The belief is that if one does not keep up payments on their home, why would they keep up payments for anything else as anything else is insignificant in comparison. The foreclosure will stay on your credit record for up to 10 years and will negatively impact your credit score throughout the entire period. If you got your second foreclosure within those 10 years, your credit rating will be lowered, but not as much that resulted from the first foreclosure. If you got your second foreclosure more than 10 years after getting the first, your credit rating will be negatively impacted to the same level as the first was.
How does a foreclosure that has been stopped compare to the foreclosure actually going through on your credit report?
It depends on how soon you stopped it. If a foreclosure is stopped after three missed payments, then It may only show up as a 90 day late. This can be recovered from fairly quickly, as long as the rest of your payments were on time. If the home is actually foreclosed on, it will show as a foreclosure on the trade line and in the public record section. The best way to see how it effects your credit is to get a copy of your report. You can probably get a free copy from one (or all) of the three credit bureaus. Experian Equifax Trans Union
How long will it affect your credit if you stop making payments on your ex wife's mortgage and the house is in foreclosure?
A foreclosure will show on your credit for seven years from the date of last activity. The federal statue of limitations is also seven years for the legal notice of foreclosure in the public records portion of your credit report. There may be other state laws which extend this statue of limitations. The Fair Credit Reporting Act is worded "...whichever is longer..."
How long does a foreclosure stay on your credit report?
A foreclosure will typically remain on your credit report for seven years.
If foreclosure proceedings are started but the loan was reinstated will it show negatively on a credit report?
Yes. Foreclosure proceedings do not begin in most states until you are a number of months behind in payments. That will negatively impact your credit report. I had foreclosure proceedings begin on my home, but I was able to short sell the home before it went to auction. On my credit report it says, "loan was paid for less than amount owed".
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.
Is there still a past due amount on your credit report after foreclosure?
The foreclosure will be on your credit report indefinitely.
How do you proceed with a deed in lieu of foreclosure and what are the advantages?
One advantage is that the foreclosure process will end sooner. Once the bank accepts the deed in lieu of foreclosure, all of the legal procedures come to a end immediately. The bank accepts the deed as payment in full for the loan, and the homeowners are no longer in default of the mortgage. Another benefit is the homeowners will not have as badly damaged credit as if they had gone through the full foreclosure. With the foreclosure process ending sooner, there are fewer missed mortgage payments. The bank typically reports late payments up until the month of the county foreclosure auction, which can result in many missed payments. With a deed in lieu of foreclosure, some of these can be avoided, as the foreclosure process is terminated early. This, in turn, allows homeowners to begin recovering financially more quickly than if they had let the home go through with the entire foreclosure process. They can begin working on credit repair sooner rather than later.
