What If?

I don't want to file bankruptcy, it is my house that has got me in such bad financial trouble. Which is worse between filing bankruptcy and foreclosure and which will effect my credit the worse? Say I paid the mortgage on the house for 6 months and the bank forecloses, can I still write off the interest on taxes for that 6 months?

Hi,

A cut and dry answer to your question. BK is worse than a Foreclosure. You can foreclose on the property, and still be balance billed for all negative equities, taxes, etc...........ultimately causing you to file BK post foreclosure. :eek:

Good Luck! :)

Also, do you want to keep the house or not? Is their any equity in the house? and, are your payments up to date?

But yeah, generally speaking a BK is worse than foreclosure, but their are other factors to consider.
