How Foreclosure Affects Credit

Foreclosure and Credit Scores in Orange County

Today there are many families that are facing foreclosure on their homes as a result of a financial crisis. If you are in a situation where you are confronted with losing your home, then you may be wondering what kind of toll this will have on your credit. Unfortunately the answer is that it will have a very negative impact, as well as the possibility of some devastating financial ramifications. It can affect your credit so adversely that you will not be able to apply for any type of loan for two full years.

It can make applying for rent extremely difficult, as well as any other financial issue that requires a decent credit score. Foreclosure can be visible on your credit report for 5 years, and many people experience trouble obtaining credit during that time period. If you are facing foreclosure, then it is safe to say that your credit will be severely damaged and you may suffer the consequences for years after this event.

It is important for you to have skilled representation on your side that understands the difficulties you are facing, and can provide you with the representation and assistance you need. Call 1st California Law, Inc. today at (714) 881-7300.

“Awesome attorney”
I recently filed for my Chapter 7 through Mr. Kevin’s law firm and I could not be happier with his services. All of my concerns and worries were eliminated when Mr. Kevin thoroughly explains the process of bankruptcy filing and court hearing. The actual court hearing is very simple and to the point, just as Mr.Kevin said. In all, i highly recommend Mr.Kevin as an attorney for anyone who is in need of financial debt relief. He is kind, transparent, and dedicated to his profession. I'm glad i have had a chance to work with Kevin.
