A foreclosure does not disappear from the public records section of a credit report. It is much like a judgment that is not satisfied. It stays on the report forever.

How would you know if the house is under foreclosure?

The house that is already foreclosed is a public record which means that you'll be able to find the foreclosure at the registry of deeds in your jurisdiction.If the foreclosure has not been completed you may find a notice to foreclose in the public records. However, in many cases the notice is all you will find. Lenders often hold back on recording a foreclosure until the property has been sold.


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

Can a bank post your name online as owner of a foreclosing home preforeclosure?

Both your ownership of a home and the Notice of Default that is the official start of the foreclosure process are public record. Some states require that the foreclosure sale (trustee sale) be published, either in a newspaper or other public media. Since this information is available to the public there is no violation of privacy when the information is posted.


How long does a deed in lieu of foreclosure take to give back the property?

With the consent of the property owner and lender, the deed is valid immediately after it is recorded in the county public records. It is a good way to avoid the foreclosure process, but, oddly, many lenders will not accept such a deed and insist on the expensive and tedious foreclosure process.
