Having a foreclosure on your credit report can seriously hurt your chances of getting a new home mortgage or even other types of credit, including personal loans and credit cards. Credit Bureaus have a right to report foreclosure information that is accurate and has not reached its reporting expiration date. But you can have old foreclosures, and foreclosures that are not yours, removed from your report.
