There are many reasons foreclosures take place, and few people choose foreclosure voluntarily. It is usually the result of an unforeseen tragedy such as loss of job, interest rate/payment adjustment, or divorce. When someone's home is foreclosed upon, they not only lose their home but destroy their credit. A foreclosure is second only to bankruptcy in doing damage to credit. In fact, a foreclosure will stay on a person's credit report for between seven to 10 years, making it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to purchase a new home, buy a car, get a cell phone, or borrow any money.
