Which is better on your credit ? foreclosure or bankruptcy ?
Question:
Answer:
Neither are really any better/worse than the other. The worst would be filing bankruptcy to save you home, not being able to keep up with the payments, and facing foreclosure after defaulting on the bankruptcy plan.
If you can save the house with a bankruptcy and make all the payments, then that would at least show you made an effort to repay your bills. A foreclosure clearly shows you took out a loan for a lot of money and failed to pay it back.
But both together would show you sought protection under the law (bankruptcy), failed in your obligations, and never paid back the high amount of the mortgage loan (foreclosure).
Try to avoid both if you care about your credit (and there are lots of reasons never to use credit or care what your score is). The "lesser of two evils" is the one that would fit your situation the best, regardless of how it affects your credit.
Good luck.

Neither of course! Between the two, I would think bankruptcy is the lesser of two evils.
Since bankruptcy is the worst, foreclosure is definitely the lesser of the two evils.
foreclosure - even if they sell the house and you owe some still and they get a judgment on you ... .it stays on there the same amt of time but it looks better than a bankruptcy. its one bad thing not 15 bad things. you look lik eyou couldnt pay one bill not allllll your bills and you may be able t ostill get a credit card.
