Name change delaying my closing date
Hello,
Needing some suggestions on how to update my name asap with the major credit bureaus!
I was supposed to close on our first home yesterday, but due to a name change formality with the major credit bureaus, the loan underwriting team are not able to get this done. Loan’s already been approved and my loan officer said this is just a “formality.”
I sent in the documents proving my name change the same day he told me. The name change with social security had been done long ago. I just delayed it with the bank and creditors because I’m a terrible procrastinator (yeah, I know, I’m paying for it now)
I know the documents reached one of them and it’s in processing, but it needs to be done by all 3- Experian, TransUnion, Equifax.
Has anyone ever experienced this or know how to get this done asap? I’m so anxious that we’ll lose the home because we were supposed to close within 21 days. Thanks in advance!
