11yo Mortgage TL GONE!!!

01mommy · ‎05-22-2012

I disputed the lates on my mortgage and they responded by removing the entire TL on Experian and TU! Besides my student loans, my mortage was one of my oldest accounts at 11 years...could this be a bad thing? My EQ (myFICO) and EX (FAKO) are on a steady rise due to some other things falling off and I won't get the myFICO TU score until early July (Quarterly Monitoring) so I'm wondering should I leave it be or contact the mortgage company and risk them not deleting the lates from before I modified the loan? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Accounts usually age off your reports when they are approaching 10 years from date of closing, so it's possible that this account was due to drop anyway and your dispute just triggered it to fall off. When was this account closed ? What was your AAoA before losing this account ?

Are you saying mortgages don't report for the life of the note? The account is still open, I just had my loan modified and I was trying to get them to remove the lates from before the modification since it was technically a "new" mortgage. My AAoA was 7 years prior to them dropping off...I'm waiting until July to pull my other Power Score, so I don't know what or of it's changed, but my score doesn't appear to be hurting by it...now anyway

If open now, there's a chance it can re-report next reporting cycle.

I was assuming that the mortgage was closed. If it is still open then yes, it would still be reporting ~ items typically drop from your report at 10 years from the date they are closed.

Your creditor will likely report the mortgage again next month, so hopefully it will reappear. This is one of the problems with disputing ~ sometimes the account will just be deleted by the CRAs.

I would be careful in persuing the remvoing of the lates on your modified home loan. They can report old mortgage as closed with a zero balance and leave the late histroy alone. Then reported the modifed loan as adifferent account with only the payment history of themodified loan. The second way will have a greater impact on your score in opinion than if you leave the lates alone/. How old are the lates.

Were you issued a new account number?

I don't follow the logic of disputing your prior late payments. Even if this were a closed account, there doesn't appear to be grounds to dispute the lates as inaccurate. Even if your modified loan is considered a "new" loan, it doesn't mean that the late payments didn't occur on the "old" loan.
