Credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information in a consumers' file at the time the score is requested. Without detailed data about the complete context, even a guess would be inaccurate. Credit scoring software is also proprietary. If Fair Isaac told us how they figure out scores, they would be giving away their business secrets.

There is a lot of general information on the factors taken into consideration. You can find general guidelines at www.ftc.gov and at www.myfico.com

How badly will one's credit be affected if a mortgage on a house goes into foreclosure shortly after closing on a second?

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.

I am not on the 1st mortgage loan but I co-signed a loan for the second mortgage The 1st mortgage lender is foreclosing If I stay current on the second will my credit show a foreclosure?

the second mortgage is based on the house as collateral. If the house is gone, the bill is due. It is not an unsecured line of credit. When the house goes the 2nd has to be paid in full or it will count against you. The only way around this is to get another line of credit/cash somewhere and pay it in full.

Does it effect your credit score when employers check your credit?

No it does not -- it is called a soft inquiry. The credit bureaus classify companies who pull a credit report. Some companies pull credit reports for lending, others use credit reports for non-lending purposes. Hard inquiries are those that count against credit scores and are from lenders upon an inquiry for credit. Soft inquiries or those used for non-lending practices do not count against credit scores. From the classifications used by credit bureaus, the credit scoring system can determine the type of inquiry (whether for credit or otherwise) that is pulled.
