Can a mortgage report foreclosure on your credit report if the mortgage was included in the bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman

Assuming it was a Chapter 7 and the mortgage was not reaffirmed, the mortgage company should not report anything other than either included in or discharged in bankruptcy and a zero balance in its trade line. However, the credit bureaus may be picking up the public record created by the foreclosure, so if you are seeing the judgment in the public records section of the report that is the cause of the problem. In either situation, you should dispute the references to the foreclosure with the credit bureau, based on the fact that the mortgage was discharged in 2010, and see if it is removed.

Can the bank enter new information against me if my bankruptcy was discharged?

If you reaffirmed on your mortgage during your chapter 7 and thereafter defaulted the the mortgage company can pursue after your chapter 7. If you surrendered your house in the chapter 7 they cannot. Either way they will most likely report a foreclosure on your credit report which will naturally affect your credit rating.
