Best Answer

Foreclosure can ruin your credit. When you apply for credit, lenders will look at your credit report. Foreclosure stays on your credit for 7 years. However this does not mean that you cannot get credit after foreclosure. You may not get credit immediately after foreclosure. However if you have taken steps to repair your credit immediately after foreclosure, lenders will be willing to consider your application positively. But you may have to pay more interest and provide collateral. Lenders understand that people go though financial up and downs. You must show that you have learned from your past financial mistakes. Even if you the general banks and lenders are reluctant to lend to you, there are lenders who specialize in lending to individuals who have been in foreclosure.

Could a pending foreclosure cause a bank loan to be declined?

Yes, if one got the loan after foreclosure proceedings began. When banks make credit decisions, they want to consider as much up-to-date information as possible. If a foreclosure is coming up but is not on the credit report, the bank may grant the loan. Once the foreclosure shows up on the report, the bank will conduct due diligence and see if they would have granted the loan knowing about the foreclosure. Most banks would not and will call the loan, making you responsible for paying immediately.

foreclosure is a conditon where a lender (the bank) acquires title to and uses the value of the property to offset the outstanding balance of the loan. If your property goes into foreclosure you will LOSE ownership of that property but will also no longer owe the unpaid balance of the loan. This is called 'defaulting' on your loan.
