Fixing Credit After A Eastlake Short Sale Step 8: Checking Your Results


Eastlake CA – The next step in your credit repair process is a very important one. This is the time where you check the results of your efforts so far.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

The credit bureaus have now sent you their results, including a new credit report and a letter telling you what has changed on the report based on your disputes.

Don’t just read what they sent and file it away! Make a copy of it, and have it ready to file.

Take out your file that has the original copy of your credit report and put it side by side with the new report. Take out your copy of the letter you originally sent to the bureau that laid out all the things you were disputing.

Go through and compare these disputes against their updated credit report.

Their summary might say that an item was investigated but was verified, and so it still shows on your credit report, and wasn’t removed. They won’t say more than, “item verified.”

This could discourage you, but what folks who’ve been down this road before you will tell you is that no one called the original information provider to verify the item – that they used that eOscar dataset to check it out.

If they “verified” something on your credit report which clearly isn’t yours:
  1. Call the toll-free number at the top of the report
  2. Tell them your report reference number and ask for “the method of verification per FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) Section 611 (a) (7).
  3. If they say they called the original creditor, ask them for the phone number of the original creditor.
  4. Call the original creditor and ask for the records yourself.
  5. If they say the records are not available, call the credit reporting agency back at their number from the results report and tell them that the original creditor has no records, and that they need to open another dispute – provide them with the name and number of the person you just talked to at the original creditor.
This sounds like a lot of hassle, but it’s worth the extra effort.

On the other hand – you might find in your new reporting from the credit bureaus that the disputed item was investigated and the listing was found to be inaccurate or unverifiable!

If this is the case, the negative listing will either be deleted from your report all together or it will go from being a negative to being a positive. This is great news for you!

Fixing Credit After A Eastlake Short Sale Step 7: The Waiting Period

Eastlake CA – I mentioned in the last note that you’ll need to keep a file of records about your credit restoration process. This is an important part of the process, and deserves a bit more than a brief mention.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

The credit reporting companies have 30 days (by law), to investigate and handle the disputes submitted to them. This is why you submitted everything through certified mail.

That enables you to record the time firmly for the credit reporting firms to respond within. But it’s more than that. This file will become important for a long time for you.

Many people successfully removed items from their credit reports. Later on they found those same items show back up on their credit report months in the future! Having a record of your efforts and the results is needed to keep your record blemish free in the future.

Make your records easy to follow. You will need to keep the original copy of your credit reports here, as well as the copies you’ve made notes and comments on.

Keep copies of the letters you send to the credit reporting companies. Keep the Certified Mail slips. File any correspondence that the credit reporting companies send to you.

Keep a journal in your file of any telephone conversations you have with any of the creditors or credit reporting companies. Record in this journal the names, dates, times, and notes of these phone calls.

In addition, have a method to remind yourself of “action step dates” – those dates where you expect to have a certain action done by the credit reporting firms.

This can be a calendar you keep on the front of the file, or use Outlook’s calendar feature, or your calendar app on your phone.

This may seem like your credit report has become your new part time job, but with a little bit of organization and perseverance, it will be worth it!

Fixing Credit After A Eastlake Short Sale Step 3: Rank Items In Order Of Importance

Eastlake CA – The next step in going over your credit reports is to really rank the items being reported about you to find ones that are the most negative. Rank the negative items with the MOST negative ones given the lowest ranking.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

You want to rank the ones that will cause the most damage to your credit score.

Here are the most damaging items (in order of damage amount): bankruptcy; foreclosure; repossession; loan default; court judgment; accounts in collections; payments that are past due; payments that are late; being denied credit; inquiries to open new credit.

One thing to note about disputing things on your credit report – items like court judgments and foreclosures and child support arrears are verified by a different system, and are rarely if ever disputable.

Here is one of the best suggestions that I have seen work well. Take a Sharpie pen, and mark on the unused copy of your report.

Circle the items you are disputing and write a SHORT note about why you are disputing that item – for example “Not my account” or “Not Late.”

I am not advising you to lie or make misleading statements when you write to the credit reporting company. However, I will tell you that if someone is reporting something about you, they should be able to prove that what they are saying is the truth.

The credit bureaus are required to check out and investigate all the disputes they get that are deemed to not be “frivolous or irrelevant.”

What that means is that you need to not dispute every single item on your report right now, and you need to be taken seriously.

This means DO NOT use the dispute form that they sent with your credit report. They see those forms as “frivolous” 9 out of 10 times.

DO NOT use their online dispute center – the credit bureaus don’t take those seriously because they think you can’t be too serious if you just click-click-clicked away to dispute it.

Fixing Credit After A Eastlake Short Sale Step 2: Analyzing Your Credit Report

Eastlake CA – Once you have gotten your credit report, the next step in the process of restoring your credit score is to go over it with a critical eye. Analyze what the report says.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Put aside any emotion that looking at the report might stir up – you need to look at it objectively.

First, make two copies of your credit report. Save the original without any marks on it. You can make any notes you need on one of the copies, and put the other copy aside for a later step.

Your credit report will show all sorts of history on your credit accounts. Look for all the negative items on your credit report and highlight each one.

The credit reporting firms might not make it easy for you to know what they are considering negative with all the codes they use.

As a very general rule, Experian notes negative items with an asterisk or an inquiry; Equifax and TransUnion put “>>>” as a way to signal negative items or items that have a rating higher than l1, M1, or R1.

You can also look for these words: repossession, foreclosure, profit and loss write-off, charge-off, paid profit and loss write-off, paid charge off, settled, settled for less than full balance, included in bankruptcy, collection amounts.

Paid, unpaid (or anything indicating payment history); court accounts, liens, judgments, bankruptcy (chapters 11,7, or 13) divorce, satisfied liens, or satisfied judgments; or items that show more than 30, 60, or 90 day payments. All of these should get highlighted by you.

Once you’ve highlighted anything that is listed as negative, take out a pencil and put a note next to the items that are either inaccurate or inconsistent. Inaccurate items are the ones that aren’t yours, or show the wrong balance, etc.

An inconsistent reporting is where the same information on the report contradicts itself somewhere else. For example, showing one place that there are twelve 31-day-lates on an account, while also saying that the account was only reviewed for 4 months.

It is always surprising how often there are errors like that found on credit reports. Remember – there’s a whole lot of information being submitted each day to these companies, and mistakes can happen.

The next step will be important to take as soon as you finish highlighting your report. You will need to move quickly through these first few steps – your timing is all tracked and it’s important for you to be diligent so that your credit can be restored.

The First Step To Fixing Your Credit After A Eastlake Short Sale


Eastlake CA – One of the common reasons that people are concerned about a foreclosure or short sale in their history is because they are concerned about their credit score.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

While it’s true that your credit score will be adversely affected by these items, it is also true that you can move past blemishes on a credit report.

You may want to consider doing some credit repair or credit restoration. It isn’t hard to do, and when taken step by step, it can be handled in an organized, manageable way.

The first step that you need to do is to get and review your credit report. I’m always amazed by the psychology of just this step.

Most people don’t want to pull their credit report because they “just feel” like it will be bad, and they don’t want to see it.

However, you won’t know where you are at or how to get onto the next phase of recovery until you figure out where you are at.

You have seen all the commercials, and can sing the jingles, for some of the places to get your credit report. There are pros and cons for any of the places you can get your credit report.

The two words of caution I offer here are:

1. You can get an annual free credit report (the one that the government requires the 3 credit reporting bureaus to provide) from annualcreditreport dot com.

However – if you choose this route – it is free, but it then bumps up the time that a creditor has to investigate any of your disputes from 30 to 45 days.

This isn’t a great option, in my opinion. You’ll understand why after you learn about the dispute process.

Also, be aware that this service doesn’t have to give you your 3 digit credit score – which you might want to know.

2. Most of the other services offer you a free 30 day trial period, and then you get “enrolled” in their credit monitoring program. If you aren’t one to keep track of the 30 day trial timeframe, you could end up sucked into paying for something that you wouldn’t normally want to spend monthly money on.

In the next article about your credit report restoration, I’ll talk about how to review your report, what to look for, and how to analyze it.

I Want To Buy Another Home Right After A Eastlake Short Sale


Eastlake CA – The biggest advantage a short sale has over a foreclosure is that you can buy your next home much sooner.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Here was our answer to Dan’s Question.

Under current lending guidelines, you can buy another home in 3 years after a short sale. After a foreclosure you have to wait 5-7 years in most cases.

(FHA’s current guidelines state that you can get an FHA loan immediately after a short sale, provided that you never missed a payment. If you were in default at the time of the short sale, then you have to wait 3 years before they will approve your loan.)

But, what if did miss a payment and you want to buy another home sooner than that?

There are loopholes in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Remember, the law was written to protect consumers. It wasn’t written to protect the lenders!

You can use the law to your advantage to get a short sale removed from your credit history. Then, you can fix any other negatives on your credit report.

After that, your credit should be good enough to qualify to buy another home.

Here is why you can have the short sale removed from your credit report. The Fair Credit Report Act requires lenders do certain things before reporting negative credit.

If you lender misses any of these steps, then they are not allowed to post that item to your credit report. Don’t kid yourself; the lenders make mistakes like this all the time.

They are more concerned with getting paid than making sure every credit report is done perfectly. A good lawyer that specializes in this can help you.

They will know the intricacies of the law and help you get the short sale removed from your credit so you can buy another home.

Henry Pailles, houseinsandiego Realty, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

Eastlake Short Sales: Is My Hardship Legitimate For A Short Sale?
Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Dan. Here was Dan’s Question.

"I recently purchased another home and tried to sell my former home. It isn’t selling and I can’t afford to make both payments. The home won’t rent for even 1/2 of the mortgage payment.

An agent told me the house is worth about $50K under the mortgage amount. Is it realistic for me to try the short sale? The only hardship created was when I decided to move to a larger home for family. Dan."

Here was our answer to Dan’s Question.

Dan, I think you can short sale your house. Do you have a legitimate hardship?

I know you said you needed a larger house. However, if you also moved for a job transfer, then most lenders would consider that a legitimate hardship.

A hardship is not black and white. Some lenders would consider your situation a hardship. More often than not they will approve the short sale.

Others would not and won’t work with you on a short sale. In addition, the lender may not work with you until you have missed a payment or two.

Whether or not you miss a payment is your decision. You should weigh your options and decide whether or not you can live with the resulting credit damage.

Many lenders will work with you on a short sale even before you have missed a payment. If you were working with us, then we would help you. But, we would have the expectation that it would be a 6-12 month process.

Make sure that you work with a competent short sale agent. Look for someone that is a short sale expert. Ask them how many short sales they have sold.

Ask them if they have worked with your lender in the past. Then you will be able to judge whether they are qualified to help you.

How A Eastlake Short Sale Helps Preserve Neighborhood Values

Eastlake CA – Yes, short sales actually help preserve home values in a neighborhood. Here is why.

Most people short sell their home while they are still living in the home. They are maintaining the home, mowing the yard, keeping the air conditioning on, etc.

Most bank owned properties are empty for 3-6 months, if not longer. No one maintains the home during that time period. Empty homes are easy targets for vandalism and thieves.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

The grass and yard get overgrown. Pools deteriorate and the water turns green with algae.

In some Southern States, such as Florida, if a home is not air conditioned during the summer, then mold will grow on the walls inside.

In the Northern States, if a home is not heated during the winter, then pipes can ice up and break causing a lot of plumbing damage.

Even things as simple as sprinkler system can have problems when they aren’t used for 3-6 months. A sprinkler system contractor recently told us that if the system isn’t ran at least once a month, then it can have problems.

All these things added together cause bank owned homes to sell for much less than a short sale. That is why you should be proud that you are short selling your house.

You are doing a big part to help keep the housing market and your neighborhood. In addition, you are helping the entire economy because the housing market is such an important part of it.

Another Common San Diego Short Sale Myth: The Foreclosure Process Goes So Fast That I Don’t Have Time To Short Sale


San Diego CA – Another Common San Diego Short sale myth:   
The Stop foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Susan about short sales. Here was Susan’s Question.

“My home is scheduled to be going on the courthouse steps in about 2 months. I had thought about short selling, but a friend told me I wouldn’t have enough time to do it.

Because of that I didn’t pursue a short sale earlier. Recently I decided to look into it further. It looks like a good option compared to foreclosure. My question is this.

Do I have enough time to short sale my house, or is the foreclosure already too far along? Please let me know. Sincerely, Susan.”

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Here was our answer. Susan, we can still help you with a short sale. Most lenders will postpone a foreclosure when a short sale offer is in place. Yes, a short sale usually takes 2-6 months to process.

However, many lenders will postpone the sale while a short sale is in the works. In addition, some short sales go faster than the normal 2-6 months.

If your lender owns you loan in house, then the decision maker will be easy to reach. They can approve or deny the short sale in a matter of a week or two.

So, please let us help you. We have a good success rate even when the foreclosure process has already been started. As you well know, a short sale beats a foreclosure because you can buy another home much sooner.
