It depends on how a mortgagee's credit was before the foreclosure, but a drop of several hundred points is common. Foreclosure makes its greatest impact for the first three or four years and remains on a report for seven.

How does surrendering your house in chapter 7 affect your credit report?

If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy.

If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.
