Any information regarding the payment history, performance, or resolution of a debt that is reportable to a credit reporting agency can only be reported for parties who obtained the debt. This means you would only see reporting on under your name if you co-signed for the mortgage loan that defaulted.

The actual foreclosure action on a home does not report to a credit agency any more than the sale of one does. What reports as "foreclosed" is the mortgage loan that did the foreclosing. This will only be reported on the credit for those who signed for and obtained the debt under which the home was foreclosed.

For example; if you own a home that is paid off and for which you carry no loans, you fail to pay the taxes, and the county "forecloses" by selling your home at a tax sale, you will not have a foreclosure reported on your credit report.

What is the law concerning 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 Fair Credit Reporting Act requires creditors to report your account accurately, and the credit bureaus are required to maintain records that match the reporting. The bureaus are not responsible for the accuracy of the reported account information as they do not have access to the account records for each creditor. If you dispute the accuracy of an item, they request a response from the creditor, at which point the creditor must either show that your dispute is invalid, that your dispute is indeed valid, or fail to respond in a timely manner (failure to respond will mean the dispute is accepted and the item corrected or removed).
