With approximately one in five homeowners “underwater” – owing more on their home than it is currently worth – some homeowners are deciding to walk away from their house and the mortgage, often resulting in the lender foreclosing on the property.

  • A foreclosure is considered one the most serious defaults on a credit history, in the same category as a bankruptcy or a tax lien.
