The big talk now is about "walking away" or "letting it go" when it comes to our upside-down home mortgages. Be VERY careful about doing so, the credit implications are significant. Watch this video to learn the Truth about Foreclosures and Credit.
I let got of my severely underwater house. It was foreclosed upon last year. I have no other loans and less than $600 in c/c debt. All other bills are paid on time. House was bought back so no deficiency judgment. I checked my FICO on Credit Karma just today and it was 728/850 (GOOD). So the "foreclosure will severely damage your credit" rhetoric is the banks just trying to scare you. At least in my situation.
