I have been trying for two years now to find my VA certificate. I paid off my mortgage with Countrywide in 2007 and they still claim that my VA cert has been mailed to the County Recorders office. The recorders have nothing on file. That goes to show you what a debacle Countrywide was been and deserves to be a big bust for our economy and the status we are in today with our mortgage crisis.
My only recourse is to reapply for another cert and hope the VA will reissue me another one.

I had a Certificate of Eligibility under the Old G.I. Bill – Vietnam Era, and received it in 1976. I believe the value back then was for either $15K or $20K. I used the certificate towards my first home in 1983. Tragically, in 1988, while going through a nasty divorce, an overseas transfer to Germany at the same time, my home was foreclosed upon while I was stationed in Germany. Now, 21 years later, having had 2 divorces since that time, and gone through 2 Chapter 7 bankruptcies, can I now have the Certificate restored. There were some fairly extreme, undue hardships back then, with major depression. Presently, I am a homeless veteran, living out of my personal pickup truck. In January 2010, I will be living out of my truck for seven years since my last wife made up a lie to get me out of the family home. I need a home so that I can start my life more fresh than ever, and have a second home to my 2 under-18-years-old children. I need a second chance. I am a 100 percent, service-connected veteran. My latest Chapter 7 was filed June 2005 and discharged. I have since then, restored my credit with most of my debts paid off in the past few years.
If there is a chance to have my COE restored, what do I do, so that I can now have the best chance of owning a home without having to go through a marriage – divorce as I had happen to have lost it in the first place in December 1988. Please help.

Yes the certification until i know its for life, if you will buy a home that you will leave to my understood they do not charge you the closing money… then if you pay this house and decide to move to a new one you will need to pay a certain % of the seccond home closing and for the third one its own youre own this certificate will assure you a lowest % this is why veterans for the banks are named the Inmortals Cheers

Is this the address to send the request in for a Certificate of Eligibility if you live in Arkansas

Yes he can still use it. They may request an updated copy but he is still authorized to use it, most definately! And they will probably use the copy he has if it has never been used. They will know when a credit check is done.
