I was concerned about a lack of the mortgage being listed, but if an offer is accepted I've asked for more detailed itemized expenses.Since it's been sitting so long we thought we might be able to come in low.  

I ended up calling all of my negative accounts and asked them to remove the derogatory item completely from my report if I paid them in full.
