our house is being threatned to be forclosed for non payment of assosiation dues. We have been fighting with them for over a year and they just keep racking lawyer fees up. only owe them 1200 want us to pay over 3000. The house is only in my husbands name, was purchase before we were married. They payments are current to the bank. If this is forclosed, will this hurt my credit score or just his? We hate our house and just want out, so many around us going short sale for 70,000 and we still owe over 100,000 on ours, what should we do, stop paying mortgage and let them forclose? go into a short sale? if so can I buy a house? or do we have to wait a few years?
thanks!
thanks!
The credit reporting and payment history is being reported under the buyers/borrowers name. However, with you being the wife you can be listed on the deed of trust, but you may not be on the note/mortgage statement. So if you are not on the note it does not affect your credit, just the borrowers or your husband credit will be affected.
For your next question, a short sale is always a better choice than a foreclosure. A short sale is a form of settlement, unlike a foreclosure. a foreclosure will affect your credit for many years longer than any short sale. With a short sale you can straighten your credit back out in about 2 yrs. A short sale is a much better choice in so many ways.
