Exact same thing happened to my ex in Denver just over a year ago. She was able to fix it after 9 months of calls, paperwork, and lawyers. She then sold. Almost put her in the hospital. I've since heard of it happening to several other people. Their mortgage gets sold, they aren't given the ability to keep paying on it, their home goes into foreclosure. More common than a lot of people realize.

It is an extremely embarrassing thing to have happen to oneself, so I assume, others like myself do not go telling anyone.

The issue is that while the credit rating system is utter bullshit - there is a LOT attached to it WRT life...

Basically if you have shitty credit, people look down on you.

I make 228K per year, but due to that issue, and regular life circumstances (divorce, etc) my credit is poor - and I just got denied a card from Chase, due to Equifax saying I owe Comcast $128 (for a device I returned to them - but they still are dogging my credit)

Credit industry needs to get ITS CREDIT up.

I've tried to return Comcast equipment that I'm not using, and then they ship me a new one a few days later. I think part of their business model is forcing you to buy equipment they decide you must have lost.
