|

We are not yet in foreclosure, but are soon facing it. We have had our house on the market over a year and are sinking fast. What happens to our credit when they finally foreclose? What are the lasting effects? and how long does it effect your credit? Any and all information regarding this will be helpful and appreciated.

Foreclosure will result in your credit score dropping by a lot and it will remain on your report for the next 7 years. You will have problems getting loans after foreclosure appears on your report.
You need to take steps so that foreclosure can be avoided. Can you give more details, then I would be able to tell whether any other options are still open for you to explore or not.

Before allowing the house to go into foreclosure, discuss some of the loss mitigation plans listed on this page and let us know what the lender is saying: http://www.mortgagefit.com/loss-mitigation.html
As Miller said try to avoid foreclosure if it can be possible.
Thanks

Hi Terrib,
The greatest of foreclosure is that you lose your home. It really has a lasting effect on your credit as it leaves a derogatory mark on your credit report for at least 7 years. And if you still owe the balance even after foreclosure, the lender may probably file a suit against you in the court.
So before going for foreclosure, you must talk with your lender so that he can suggest you with some loss mitigation plan. |

Hi Deborah,
Yes I missed a word. Actually I meant to say the greatest 'problem' of foreclosure. Thank you for pointing the mistake.
