A foreclosure will only affect the borrowers who are on the note. Since she has had no financial obligation to this property the foreclosure would only effect you.

Same for your second situation, who ever is the financial obligor is the one who will be sought after for repayment.

Correct, even in community property states an individual debt is still an individual debt - you would not be liable since you are not an obligor of the note.

Hi ignacio!

If you sell the house for a lower amount than you owe, then the lender will ask you to pay off the deficient amount. This will be in case of short sale. If you cannot pay the deficient amount, the lender may place liens on your other properties or can even garnish your wages.

If you are going for a deed in lieu, then your deficient amount will be forgiven but your credit will be affected by around 250 points and you will also have to pay taxes on the forgiven amount.

Thanks.

Hi erma,

I don't think the student loan will be affected in any way if you are going for a loan modification. As far as defaulting on the payments are considered, lenders do not agree on a loan modification until you have defaulted in paying the debts.

Thanks

Hi rob

As your name is not on the mortgage deed, your credit will not be affected. Moreover you will not be liable to pay off the mortgage to the lender. However, if you want to save the property, you can pay off the loan. As far as your name in the mails are concerned, you will have to speak to the lender regarding this.

Thanks.

I am heading for foreclosure and I have borrowed some amount from my line of credit on the house from the same bank. my wife is on the title but not on the loan.
1- other than the house, can the bank take any amount from our bank accounts?
2- since the line of credit is againt the title, could that affect my wife's score too.
3- How should I save my wife's score of getting bad?
thanks,
peter

Hi,

To Peter,

As your wife's name is not on the mortgage docs, her credit score will not be affected by the foreclosure. If you cannot pay the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property, then the bank may garnish your savings account.

To jeff,

If your property is foreclosed, it will be mentioned in your credit report. Apart from this, your credit score will go down by 250 points.
