<< MAP >> << Email >>In the last five years, over 2 million individuals filed for bankruptcy. Millions more are in serious financial jeopardy. Economists estimate that for every family that declares bankruptcy, there are seven more that should based on their debt load.

Credit card abuse, for the most part, is a myth perpetuated by the credit card companies. The truth is the majority of individuals and families in financial trouble can be directly linked to circumstances beyond their control: the loss of a job, a medical crisis, or a family crisis such as a death or divorce.

And while bankruptcy is one avenue for dealing with debt issues, there are other alternatives.

Whatever you decide to do, DO NOT FALL for "consolidation" or "credit repair" schemes.

Generally, letting a property go into foreclosure or conducting a 'short-sale' are both ineffective and potentially destructive choices to your credit when considering your property status.

How is the Seller's Credit Affected?
Sellers will take as big a hit on their credit report by going through foreclosure as giving the lender a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The points lost on a FICO score are as follows:

Foreclosure or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure
Both of these solutions affect credit the same. Sellers will take a hit of 200 to 300 points, depending on overall condition of credit. This means if a seller's FICO score before foreclosure was 680, it could dip as low as 380.

Short Sale
The effect of a short sale on a seller's credit report is identical to that of a foreclosure. The ding on credit will show up as a pre-foreclosure in redemption status, which will result in a loss of 200 to 300 points. This means a short sale with a previous FICO of 720 will see it fall from 520 to 420.

In essence, according to numerous mortgage brokers, "..the effect on a consumer's credit report -- foreclosure vs. short sale -- is the difference between being hit by a train or a bus."

Bottom Line: - Despite common wisdom, a properly filed Chapter 7,11 or 13 can be far more beneficial to your credit and to your property status in the long-term.
