The difference between bankruptcy and foreclosure is sometimes confusing to a
delinquent homeowner stressed out due to a bad financial situation. Bankruptcy and foreclosure are very
different procedures, but some homeowners consider filing bankruptcy to keep from losing their home in
foreclosure. Bankruptcy is handled through the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court and typically requires an
attorney to assist you.
While foreclosure, if Judicial, is
typically handled through the County Court system. Some states have the option of a non Judicial foreclosure
proceeding, check your State Foreclosure Laws for details. Foreclosure is the act of 'foreclosing' on your
mortgage and taking back the home that is securing the mortgage.
Bankruptcy is used to protect consumers
from creditors and, depending on the type of bankruptcy, gives consumers more time to pay their debts without
losing assets. While the difference is clear, the question of which is worse bankruptcy or foreclosure requires
closer scrutiny.
A bankruptcy filing can stay on your credit
report for up to 10 years which can make it difficult to get home loans after bankruptcy. However,
statistically 80% of the people who file bankruptcy have new credit in 2 years or less but at higher
interest rates for sure. Bankruptcy is typically not the best option for most people. It is far better
to keep your home.
Foreclosure can stay on your credit report
for up to 7 years and, while definitely making it difficult to get new credit, it is not as detrimental as a
bankruptcy filing. Foreclosures can be resolved without resorting to bankruptcy and all resolution
possibilities should be pursued before giving in to filing bankruptcy. Stop Foreclosure In 7 Easy Steps can help you stop foreclosure without the
