Closed Vs. last report date

[Anonymous]

Hi all! I am a noobie and have found a wealth of knowledge and help here. I have a mortgage creditor reporting 04/2005 after the account was closed due to an unfortunate short-sale in 04/2003. It Shows closed as of 04/2003 as a foreclosure but it was a short-sale (HUD1 form not sold or repo). It shows a report date of 04/2005. Is this normal? What would be the chance of getting it removed via GW it was with IndyMac/ Thanks!

I have had no luck with Indymac removing anything from my credit report.  A couple of years ago, we sold a house and the closing was delayed.  The payoff was made 31 days after the payment due date and they refuse to remove the late pay.  I had the mortgage for 3 years with perfect payment history.   It never hurts to try though.
