deed-in-leiu of foreclosure to the credit bureaus? Home in Florida had been on the market 18 months with no offers and little interest when divorce and job requirements required move out-of-state. Mortgage company was contacted with request for deed-in-leiu of foreclosure on 3/14/08. Calls to mortgage company from then until 4/30/08 resulted in their saying request was "in process". When I requested a supervisor 4/30/08, they admitted they had not processed the request because they were "confused" about a previous short sale request which did not go through. (Of course, they made no contact to me to clarify their "confusion"). Finally, negotiater assigned 5/7/08, and requrest approved 7/21/08. I'd like now to try to negotiate how the lender reports the deed-in-leiu on my credit report. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
