The specific impact foreclosure may have on your credit will vary, and credit bureaus have been unsurprisingly tight-lipped about just how much of an impact mortgage delinquency and foreclosure may have. Last year, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) released some helpful information regarding this topic.
Some of the average hits that your credit may take are as follows:
- 30 days late on mortgage payment - 40 to 110 points
- 90 days late - 70 to 135 points
- Foreclosure, short sale or deed in lieu - 85 to 160 points
