I have been trying to complete a short sale. I am 16 months behind in my mortgage payments and can not continue to pay the mortgage. The bank keeps evaluating me and approving a loan modification because they say my credit score is over XXXX. The reason it is still over XXXX is because they are purposefully failing to log derogatory information on my credit report to keep my score inflated so they can tell the investor I qualify for loan retention. I wonder how many other non performing loans are in this similar situation.
