The bank is charging me a fee to do a deed in lieu of over $5,000.00 -- should I just go for the foreclosure? Also is it true that the banks do not take the time to garnish your wages when you do either one.
Hi Petuniapearl!
Welcome to forums!
There are some lenders who can charge you fees for deed in lieu. However, you can negotiate with your lender and check out if he can reduce the fees or not.
I don't think foreclosure is a good option. A foreclosure will badly effect your credit. Apart from this, the lender may sue you for the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. If you are unable to pay the deficient amount, the lender will be able to garnish your wages or your savings account.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
