Why Neither Bankruptcy nor Foreclosure Will Work For You

Most homeowners are concerned about how their legal action pertaining to their finances will affect their credit score. Both bankruptcy and foreclosure will but there are a few differences. If you allow your property to become foreclosed, you will have to face a 7-year statute of limitations but your credit score will have to suffer doubly, which means you will have negative figures on your legal entry and your trade line. This will make it very difficult for you to take out a mortgage loan down the line, even after your credit has improved. A foreclosure, quite simply, is a red flag to the creditor, who will be very wary about granting you a home loan.

If you file for bankruptcy, the entry will stay in your report for 10 years. Your credit score will take a hit but once that’s done and you are able to rebuild your credit, your score will do okay. Since no further actions will be taken against you by your creditors, your credit score will not suffer further. However, what if you do not want to take chances and prefer to protect your credit score? Consider looking for other options that will allow you to avoid a foreclosure. Some of these include:

Loan Modification – a process whereby the lender changes the terms of the loan to make payments more affordable for the borrower. Changes may be imposed on the term, the loan balance and the interest rate.


Short Sale – many times the lender agrees for the homeowner to sell their property for less than what is still owed. Most of the times the lender will forgive the deficiency and the credit score will not be hurt.


Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure – allows the homeowner to avoid a foreclosure by handing the property back to the lender. Instead of using bankruptcy to stop foreclosure, homeowners can take charge of the situation and walk away from a financial burden with their credit score intact.

Faced with foreclosure and on the brink of bankruptcy, many homeowners feel at a loss about what to do and where to go. If you feel unsure about handling the transition of your property on your own, working with a real estate agent, like me, will give you the confidence you need so you can use the best option available for you. Keep in mind that an informed decision is a better decision.
