Here's a small list of BIG reasons why everyone should do everything possible to avoid going through foreclosure:
- You may end up with a Deficiency Judgment and be sued by your lender(s) after the foreclosure. For more info see our post on the new CA deficiency laws.
- Many current employers run regular credit checks on their employees and a foreclosure on a credit report can be grounds for termination of employment.
- Credit scores can be lowered by 300+ points after a foreclosure. It is the most damaging credit issue in relation to future credit availability and costs.
- Foreclosure is the only credit item that will affect your future credit rates even when it is off your report.
- For the rest of your life you will have to disclose on all mortgage applications, and many job applications, that you went through foreclosure.
- A foreclosure on your record can result in losing Security Clearances for government, Military, law enforcement, and other job positions.
- You will not be eligible for any government insured loan for 5 to 7 years (but only 2 years in a short sale).
