The lender can come after you to recover the amount of deficiency. There are certain states which have strict anti-deficiency statutes which prevent a lender from getting a deficiency judgment against a borrower. You can check with a local foreclosure attorney and find out if there are any such anti-deficiency statutes in your state. If the lender is allowed to get a deficiency judgment against you in your state, you can file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. Once you include your home and the mortgage in the bankruptcy, the home will be sold to pay off the mortgage. The deficiency will then become unsecured and it will be discharged in bankruptcy.

You can file bankruptcy in order to get rid of your debts. But the foreclosure and the bankruptcy filing will have severe negative affects on your credit report and will lower your scores. Take care. _________________ Find me at FB: http://www.facebook.com/people/Sara-Jones/100002976822020
