Information about the specifics of credit scoring is largely emphirical and based on trial and error. The Fair-Isaac company, who pioneered credit scoring, is very secretive about the exact working of their software. In addition, credit scores compute ALL the information showing in your credit report each time it is calculated. Changes in your debt to available credit, other derogatory information (like late payments and collection accounts) and when these things occured are taken into account. History, specifically what has taken place in the last twelve months, is factored a full 35%. So if the foreclosure was within that time period and was removed, your score would recover a significant amount of points. If the foreclosure was older, it would not impact your credit score nearly as much.
