If loan was paid in full prior to foreclosure. how do i get it off of my credit report?
If the Foreclosure proceeding had already begun it will remain on the credit and should show a zero balance. But it will continue to show the Foreclosure was in effect at that time. If it is still showing a balance contact the credit bureau to have the information updated. You must have proof in hand.
After foreclosure can the company continue to report you late on payments destroying your credit even more?
Short answer, it depends on the circumstance. Foreclosure just means that they took back their property according to the terms of the loan. You are still responsible for the entire amount of the note that was not satisfied when the property was sold at auction. Since you probably still owe money to the lending institution, they can still report that you are not making payments on the outstanding amount of the debt. At this point, your only option is to either pay off the remaining part of the debt or file bankruptcy.
If a credit card is not activated does it still reflect on your credit report?
Yes. If they extend the line of credit to you, and you do not activate it, it will still show up on your credit report.
Is it still considered repossession if you willing give the bank the keys to your property before it goes into foreclosure?
Yes, a voluntary foreclosure (deed in lieu of such) is a foreclosure just as a voluntary repossession of a vehicle is a repossession. All the same penalties/fees, recovery of debt laws apply and the information entered on the debtor's credit report will be as a foreclosure regardless of the circumstances involved.
Can a foreclosure be removed from your credit report after the property has been taken back?
No, the foreclosure will stay on your credit report for 7 years. After you will probably have to request it be removed by submitting a written request to the three major credit reporting agencies.I lost my job, and had to sell my house. My lender filed a petition of foreclosure on my house the same time I sold it. The house was paid off before any foreclosure was done. But it still shows on my credit report. Now I can't get a mortgage loan to buy another house. What can I do? "...the lender filed foreclosure at the same time I sold it...What can I do?"Since foreclosure proceedings were actually filed against you, their appearance on your credit report is correct. This type of information is supposed to show. This is what credit reports are all about. There is no legitimate way to have such information removed.All legal proceedings are public records, open for viewing at the courthouse, thus available to anyone who searches. So even a gimmick method of credit report would only yield temporary results. There are existing safe-guards which ensure that this type of information is reported for its' full time period, which is 7 years from date of filing.Instead of spinning your wheels at this hopeless endeavor; why not educate yourself on the reality of finances and credit.

In a few years, you will still have the foreclosure showing, but you will also have a record of efforts to recover from this disastrous financial and legal event.1) There is a difference between a bank filing a foreclosure suit, and actually having your house foreclosed.2) If you sold the house before a foreclosure judgment was made final in court you were not foreclosed on.3) Go to your county courthouse and get a copy of your cases dismissal. If one was not filed by your old mortgage company, get them to file it.

If the old bank does not modify the information, then send the copies of the dismissal to the credit reporting agencies, and have them notate the inaccuracies right into your report.
If a court has found a foreclosure illegal and strikes down the Motion to Foreclose with prejudice how do you get the foreclosure off of your credit report?
If the lender does not correct your credit report, then you could send a letter and a copy of the court's decision to the credit agencies. Still, a notice of foreclosure may remain, and I am not sure whether you can make that go away.

How long will your credit be bad after a home foreclosure?
The damage to your credit score and how fast it recovers depends greatly on the rest of your credit history. Someone who has no other issues will rebound faster than someone who had other late payments or a lower score to begin with. If the foreclosure is the only issue, the score should begin to rise within a few months and may slowly recover to pre-foreclosure leves over the next couple years. The score is separate from the actual foreclosure reporting as a derogatory item as far as obtaining new credit. It is possible to have an acceptable or good FICO score with a dated foreclosure on your credit and still not be able to get credit because of the derogatory item. The foreclosure itself will report for 7 years but it's impact on your score will less as time goes by.
If you make voluntary payments on a car loan that was discharged in a bankruptcy can they still report it as a repossession on your credit report even though the debt is not legally owed?
My guess is that they probably can still list a repo on your credit report. Normally you get a double-hit on your credit report when you surrender property in bankruptcy: you get hit with the bankruptcy (which knocks your credit score down by 75 to 150 points) and you get hit with a repo/foreclosure for the surrendered property. Just because a debt is discharged in bankruptcy doesn't mean that it won't be listed on your credit report, it simply means the debt is no longer collectable. The credit report will continue to show the debt on your credit report and should list it as "discharged in bankruptcy." Similarly, if a person surrenders a home in bankruptcy, the foreclosure still goes on their credit, and if a person surrenders a car in their bankruptcy, it still shows up as a repo on the credit report. So, my guess is that a repossessed car, even one for which the debt was wiped out in bankruptcy and one that was not repossessed for some time after bankruptcy since voluntary payments were made for awhile, will still show on the credit report as a repo when it is ultimately repossessed. I can't say this is a definitive answer, but this is how I think the process works. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
The mortgage payment has become more than you can bear you are going to give the house back to the bank is this still going to have a negative impact on your credit?
Yes, and be very careful. In some cases they will show it as a foreclosure on your credit report. Talk to an attorney that you know is reputable before your credit is ruined for the next 10 years. Your best bet is to try and sell it on your own. Been there! What you did is called a "friendly foreclosure"...just meaning you did the wise thing and saved the bank, (and hence yourself) additional expenses involved in an unfriendly one (Understand, your responsible for anything the bank would have to pay anyway). It is still a foreclosure. You still did not pay the loan as you promised and swore you would. You apparently couldn't handle the credit you were given. And, while not on the credit report, by your question here...you really don't even understand what it was you were doing with the credit or the asset! Why shouldn't that be a terrible indication against you by anyone looking to give credit in the future, or now?
What is the procedure for reporting a foreclosure to the credit bureaus and does it have to be hand-delivered and what can you do to have it removed?
Foreclosure is a legal procedure filed against borrowers who have failed to pay a mortgaged home loan. If the loan itself is reported to the credit bureaus, then prior to the filing of the legal action the "tradeline" (account listing) would be notated "foreclosure" or "foreclosure proceedings begun". This idicates the account is seriously delinquent and filing of legal action is imminient. This "reporting" is done by the lender/Data Furnisher. This entry would remain for 7 years from the month/year the account was last paid on time immediately prior to its' default. If no remedy is provided (quick sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or payment in full), then the lender proceeds to file the actual legal action. This does not "get reported". Rather, as with all public records, independent contractors scan public records and re-sells these to various databases, including the three major credit bureaus. By this method, the legal action of foreclosure finds its' way onto your personal credit report. The legal item would be displayed on your credit report for 7 years from the date of filing. So, it is possible to have two notations, one in the "account history" section and one in the "public records" sections, of the same foreclosure. Both entries would be correct. The public record would remain for slightly longer than the account entry notation. If the foreclosure is accurate, there is little a consumer can do to have it removed. This information would be considered vital credit data. Foreclosure is huge indicator of credit risk and is the exact reason that credit information is referenced by prospective lenders. If, on the slim chance, you did manage to have an accurate foreclosure item removed from your credit report; the public record at your local courthouse would still remain. Thus, the record would most likely reappear on your credit report in the future. It can be extremely difficult to obtain a mortgage loan with a foreclosure listed on your credit report. Obviously, this is the biggest indication to lenders that you do not repay home loans. It is also the best reason to avoid foreclosure at all costs. Even a deed in lieu of foreclosure is better than allowing a lender to file against you.
In Florida can you have a home equity line of credit and still file a deed in lieu of foreclosure?
You will not be able to keep your home equity line of credit if your house is in foreclosure or anything similar to it. This is standard across the United States.
