If foreclosure was started over 2 years ago then we paid back payments and penalties so we still have our mortgage can we refinanc

Hello, when you state your foreclosure started 2 years ago, what is the status of your loan now? Did the back file a Lis pendens? (Foreclosure proceedings), if so did they vacate the filing or stop the filing? I know these are lots of questions. First thing you need to do is contact your current lender servicer. Find out the status of your loan. Secondly, look at your credit report(s), to see what damage was done, and what verbiage is placed under the tradeline (the loan on your credit report). Thirdly, you need to know what your scores are in order to refinance. Also have you made timely payments in the last 12 months based on the agreement you had from the lender (assuming your lender modified your mortgage)? My company can verify this information for you for $1. We provide tri-merged reports for $1. Not trying to sell you a service however you need to know what your credit scores are. Have a wonderful day.

You very possible could qualify. I recommend you consult with an Illinois licensed mortgage broker/banker who can analyze your particular qualifications and give you a clear perspective on where you stand in obtaining a refinance. If it is similar to a "modification" rather than a foreclosure (proceedings only begun but never completed) you could very well be eligible. As Christina answered your question, there are variables in your situation that need to be reviewed by an experienced mortgage planner (mortgage broker/banker.)

It could be possible, there would be more that would need to be considered. Talk with a local lender to put a full application together and see what they can do for you.

Much more info needed.. but in general, If you have been current for 2 years, then it's possible, but some lenders apply the same mandatory waiting period if you were more than 90 to 120 days late.. or if your loan has goes into foreclosure.. in which case you would need to wait 3 to 7 years.. but this is an overlay.. meaning some lenders choose to apply this guideline, but others don't.. it's best to use a mortgage broker since they will have access to numerous lenders with each one having a different set of lending rules.. the more lenders, the more lending options and the greater likelihood your loan scenario will be accepted..

With a foreclosure having started and been brought current, in addition to making sure the foreclosure was officially "cancelled" it will also depend on the type of mortgage you refinance to. Your most recent 12 months history will be most important to show not any late payments
