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".


How do you know what constitutes a foreclosure?

Your first notification should be from your lender notifying you that forclosure proceedings have been filed. All states have very strict laws on how notice of foreclosure is given. This sometimes is a plus in staving off foreclosure, which is not as 'cut and dried" as some believe it to be.


What happens when you stop making mortgage payments?

The bank takes your house. * After a prescribed period of time the lender will begin foreclosure proceedings.

In states that require the lender to use prescribed legal procedure, foreclosure can take several months.

How bad is it to do a foreclosure and a bankruptcy at the same time?

You technically should not be able to do both at the same time. The bankruptcy should stop the Foreclosure proceedings in its track.


What is the meaning of reinstatement of loan?

This means that foreclosure proceedings have started due to a substantial delinquency of the loan. Once these proceedings start, the bank will no longer accept any funds except for the total amount that you owe. If you pay the total outstanding debt then you have "reinstated" the loan, which means you avoid the foreclosure. Even though proceedings may have started, it won't show on your credit report as a foreclosure unless the home was sold at an auction.


What happens if the person filing for foreclosure dies?

A person doesn't "file for foreclosure". A bank or other lender takes possession of property by foreclosure procedure after the owner (mortgagor) of the property has defaulted on the mortgage. The procedure varies in different states. If the mortgagor dies during the foreclosure proceeding the lender can continue the foreclosure process against the estate. The death of the mortgagor may delay the proceedings until the heirs have been given notice of the foreclosure, depending on how far along the foreclosure has progressed. If the mortgagee (lender) dies during the foreclosure proceeding their estate representative can continue the foreclosure once appointed by the court.


What means writ?

What does 'writ' mean?
