Just the people that are on the home loan will hurt his/her credit. Title is different from loans mortgage. Once a house is foreclosured the bank will show this on the credit report for 7 yrs.
If two people own property and only one signed a mortgage then the lender doesn't have the right to foreclose on the property rights of the owner who didn't sign the mortgage. If you didn't sign the mortgage then the default shouldn't be reported on your credit record. You should have your legal situation reviewed by an attorney.
You can give back the home to the lien holder without going through foreclosure. You just need to make arrangements with the lender. It is not smart at this point to surrender your house after so many payments.
A foreclosure will severally hurt your credit rating but you need to avoid using credit it costs you more than you can earn in the long run due to interest. Just save to buy what you want.
It depends on how soon you stopped it. If a foreclosure is stopped after three missed payments, then It may only show up as a 90 day late. This can be recovered from fairly quickly, as long as the rest of your payments were on time. If the home is actually foreclosed on, it will show as a foreclosure on the trade line and in the public record section. The best way to see how it effects your credit is to get a copy of your report. You can probably get a free copy from one (or all) of the three credit bureaus. Experian Equifax Trans Union
Foreclosures can be removed from your credit report like any other negative item. You must dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the foreclosure or it must be removed from your credit report. With the higher amount of foreclosures lately you have a better chance of it being removed. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Foreclosure from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "foreclosure account" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The bank that held your mortgage may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.
Yes, it could. Any lien holder can initiate the foreclosure process - so if your 2nd mortgage goes into default, the mortgage company could choose to start foreclosure proceedings based on the default.
No
Your son can only sell his own interest in the property if you are a co-owner. However, he will have trouble finding a buyer for his interest because the bank is taking possession of the property by foreclosure. His selling of his interest would not stop the foreclosure unless his buyer paid all the outstanding debt on the mortgage. If he did find a buyer the buyer would become a co-owner with you. He cannot sell your interest. The foreclosure will affect your credit record as well as his.
Generally speaking, at some point the creditor is not going to spend the money to keep a deragatory on your credit report. In the case of Bankruptcy it stays on you credit report for 10 yeas. In the case of foreclosure it stays on your credit report for 7 years.
Going thru a foreclosure is very hard on a family. You can be foreclosed on in as little as 90 days.
Yes, and be very careful. In some cases they will show it as a foreclosure on your credit report. Talk to an attorney that you know is reputable before your credit is ruined for the next 10 years. Your best bet is to try and sell it on your own. Been there! What you did is called a "friendly foreclosure"...just meaning you did the wise thing and saved the bank, (and hence yourself) additional expenses involved in an unfriendly one (Understand, your responsible for anything the bank would have to pay anyway). It is still a foreclosure. You still did not pay the loan as you promised and swore you would. You apparently couldn't handle the credit you were given. And, while not on the credit report, by your question here...you really don't even understand what it was you were doing with the credit or the asset! Why shouldn't that be a terrible indication against you by anyone looking to give credit in the future, or now?
A foreclosure will cause a significant decrease in your credit score. The entry will count against you once in the "trade lines", which is the part of your credit report that contain information about your accounts. It will show again in the public record portion, once the legal action of foreclosure is actually filed. The legal entry has its own statute of limitations which may extend beyond what the trade line will. The hit to your score for these double entries are calculated based on their reporting/filing date. History accounts for 35% of the score. So two significant hits in one 12 month time period would add up to a huge deduction. In addition to the computation on your credit score; lenders also look at the details of your credit as well. No mortgage lender is going to look favorably on a foreclosure, no matter what the details.
No. Who knows if the foreclosure will actually happen? Besides, the federal Protection of Tenants in Foreclosure Act give the tenants at least 90 days to get out, after the foreclosure sale.
