Credit Consequences of Foreclosure




What are the credit consequences of foreclosure you may ask?

Foreclosure is a tragic event affects the lives and futures of many people just like you. The credit consequences of foreclosure are severe—it will stay on your credit for seven years, making it much more difficult to receive all forms of credit and especially in receiving loans to pursue the dream of owning a home again. Remember, foreclosures are public record and will make virtually every situation that requires a credit check more difficult for you.
You probably already know some of the penalties associated with foreclosure —loss of home, loss of equity, et cetera. However, there are other issues you could face that many people are unaware of.





In some situations, foreclosures can trigger a requirement to pay capital gain taxes furthering an already complicated and difficult financial situation. This typically occurs if you have taken out home equity loans that are not repaid in the foreclosure. You may also be responsible for taxes based on the loss occurred by your lending bank due to short sales.




Another potential financial nightmare that can come from foreclosures is related to junior liens. A lot of people have the impression that they will not be responsible for junior liens because the security on the lien is lost due to foreclosure; however this is often not the case. You may find yourself being required to pay junior lien lenders and can even be subject to court action if you fail to do so.
