How can foreclosure on my credit report affect me?

A foreclosure will affect your credit and credit score by decreasing your score, and potentially lowering your overall credit scoring method. If you have a trust deed and the vast majority of home sales in the United States involve a trust deed once the sale takes place the lender simply gets the home back. There is no deficiency owed. However if there is a second mortgage or most likely a second trust deed that lender will normally not bid at the foreclosure sale and you will owe that as an unsecured debt. If you have only one mortgage or trust deed you can simply let the home go back if you are unable to sell the home. If you owe a significant 2nd loan then you may need to consult with a bankrutpcy attorney to resolve that debt
