I have sent the attached letter and attachments to each of the credit bureaus, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, original counsel for XXXX and the law firm that sent me the copy of the Release of Deed of Trust. My letter explains my issue which is the outstanding balance for a short sale that occurred and was closed in 2010 still remaining on my credit report. I have recently been turned down for a loan due to this remaining balance appearing on my credit report. I spoke to one of the credit bureaus and they said I had to contact the lender because they only report what they have been given by the lenders. I am now working with another lender to approve a construction loan for me and they have indicated that I may need to get an attorney. I would prefer not to incur this cost or time delay and therefor I am filing this complaint.
