You will be surprised how many times a homeowner in foreclosure will give up, perhaps they don't understand the process or feel like they no longer care or have a choice. Does this sound like you or someone you know? Please consider the following reasons why you should avoid foreclosure.
1. You will always have to disclose that you had a foreclosure on any mortgage application and many job applications you submit in the future and this can have an adverse affect on your future mortgage rates. This is the only credit item that is asked specifically and does not rely on what is on an individual's credit report.
2. Your credit score will be lowered by 300+ points and a foreclosure is the most devastating credit issue you can have in relation to future credit availability.
3. A foreclosure is the one credit report item that is almost impossible to have "repaired".
4. Your lender can seek a deficiency judgment against you and collect for any amount they do not recuperate at bank sale.
5. Many employers run credit checks on prospective employees and foreclosure is one of the top items that will put a potential new hire in jepardy.
6. Many current employers run credit checks and a foreclosure can put a current poosition in jepardy.
7. Security clearance and government positions including but not limited to military and law enforcement can be jeopardized by a foreclosure.
8. You may be responsible for any deficiencies after foreclosure for an indeterminate period of time depending on state guidelines. This can place you in a never ending collection situation.
