Best Answer

Foreclosure is, without question, very damaging to your credit report. All item on your credit report stay there for 7 years, so consider looking into other options. There are actually companies that will work with you for free to buy your mortgage away from your mortgage company and avoid your foreclosure. I would advise looking into this first.

If foreclosure proceedings were initiated, and that is all that is claimed on the credit report, then the bank cannot change the report. If the credit report shows that the foreclosure took place, however, the bank would have to correct that. Similarly, a credit card company won't take back any delinquent payments reporting just because the card was paid off. They are legally obligated to report accurately.
