Foreclosure Removal in Syracuse, NY

If you're a Syracuse resident dealing with foreclosures on your credit report, The Credit Repair Guy can help. We specialize in foreclosures removal for clients throughout New York.

Foreclosures can significantly damage your credit score and make it harder to qualify for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and even apartments. Our proven dispute process leverages the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to challenge inaccurate items with the credit bureaus.

Foreclosure is the legal process by which a mortgage lender takes possession of a property when the borrower fails to make mortgage payments. The process varies by state. Some require judicial foreclosure through the court system, while others allow non-judicial foreclosure. After foreclosure, the home is typically sold at auction. If the sale doesn't cover the remaining mortgage balance, you may owe a deficiency balance (though some states prohibit deficiency judgments). On your credit report, foreclosure appears as a severe derogatory mark that can prevent you from obtaining a new mortgage for 2-7 years depending on the loan type.

We analyze your foreclosure record for reporting errors that can be disputed. Common inaccuracies include incorrect dates (date of first delinquency, foreclosure completion date), wrong balance amounts, accounts showing as foreclosed when they were actually a short sale or deed-in-lieu, and continued derogatory reporting after the seven-year period. We also review related accounts such as second mortgages or HELOCs that may be reporting incorrectly. By disputing specific errors, we can often improve how the foreclosure impacts your credit profile.
