Due to unforseen business problems associated with the downturn in XXXX, I lost a business where I had personal guarantees that caused me to seek personal Bankruptcy in late XXXX through XXXX. At the time I owned XXXX homes with mortgages with XXXX different financial institutions. XXXX I lost through the bankruptcy, but the other I kept which is the XXXX I am writing about. As part of the process, I went through the HAMP ( Home Affordable Modification Program ) which resulted in a loan modification. The trial period was completed in XXXX and a loan modification was completed. I have made all payments fully and on time since the trial period began and continuing with a loan modification through today - additionally earning " pay for performance '' incentives from the program each month eligible. 

A large part of rebuilding my credit is the new history of on-time payments. As such it is important that all of my credit history be available. My mortgage holder refuses to acknowledge and report my mortgage performance to the credit bureaus, citing my bankruptcy as the reason they do not have to report it. They indicated that I did not " reconfirm '' in the Bankruptcy proceedings that I intended to keep the mortgage, although I acknowledged in my initial filing that it was my intent, went through the HAMP program during the Bankruptcy, signed new mortgage modification paperwork, and have made all payments on time since completing the trial period to qualify. Additionally, since they will not report anything, my old mortgage shows on my credit reports as in Bankruptcy without showing resolution. 

The Bank was not asked, nor did they offer, to reduce the principle amount owed on the loan. While the interest rate on the loan is less than the previous amount on the original mortgage, they will be whole once the note is paid off. 

I previously contacted the Bank on more than XXXX occasion, seeking to have payment information reported to the credit agencies. The farthest I have gotten was being referred to the Bankruptcy department where I was told that since I have not " reconfirmed '' my intent during the Bankruptcy they were under no obligation to report my information. My only option was to reopen my Bankruptcy ( at my cost ) to reconfirm the mortgage. 

While others did suffer because of my Bankruptcy, as well as me personally, this particular institution did not. The whole intent of Bankruptcy is to help people get out of overwhelming debt and get back on the right track to financial independence. I am working very hard to resurrect my credit rating which for many years was in the high XXXX. But that is made difficult by the fact that the Bank will not report my credit information. I can not accept that this Bank has the right to hold back such information since I have a modified loan in good standing.
