Actually farbet it does indeed depend on the mitigator but all of the mitigators whom I have dealt with at Wells Fargo, Wilshire Credit Corp, and other companies at least have some sort of clue. Wilshire was actually pretty bad with respect to losing things as well but I can very honestly say Countrywide has taken the cake. This is not the first short sale I have done with them either. I have done 4 others and none of them worked out due to problems we had with them with regards to processing times even knowing the duration that is standard in short sales.
