What is the difference between a foreclosure and to surrender deed in lieu?
Question:
Answer:
Foreclosure is forced upon you by the courts, whether you agree or not. Surrender means you and the lender reached an agreement where you give them the deed to the property and move out.
If you surrender the residence, it doesn't go on your credit report as in collections, but there are better options than a deed in lieu. Get with a credit counselor or your loan agent quickly if you are in trouble. The mortgage company would rather take your money than your house.
