With deed in lieu you will lose your home. Did you talk with your lender on whether any loan modification can be possible or not so that payments can be affordable for you? You should first look into that.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy & deed in lieu of foreclosure will both dent your credit score, so trying to avoid both of them should be the main thing for you.

I want to lose my home, it has been on the market for months and won't sell and we are being transferred to a different state entirely.

Do you suggest an attorney or is just the bank and i sufficient.

Scorpioluv, for dil attorney will not be required.

You inform the bank about your financial problem and intent to give back the house through deed in lieu. After that it depends on bank whether they accept your request for a deed in lieu or not.

Thanks

Hi scorpioluv,

Welcome to the forum.

A chapter 7 bankruptcy will be more harmful on your credit report. This is because if you file bankruptcy, it implies that you are unable to pay off your debts and hence you are less credit worthy.

In a chapter 7 bankruptcy, all your non-exempt properties are sold off in order to pay down the debt. However, debts such as child support, student loans and unpaid taxes cannot be paid under this form of bankruptcy.

I think you should go for a deed in lieu. Through this process you will be transferring the ownership of your property to the lender who will then sell it off and try to recover the unpaid debt. And the advantage here is that the lender will not ask you for any deficit incurred in case he sells the property at a price lower than the unpaid debt.

Hope this helps...

God bless you.

It will be better if you speak with your Lender and check what options are available before going for Ch7 or FC, both will affect your credit score no doubt abt that.
