One thing that hasn't been mentioned here is that in many cases, if you do not reaffirm your mortgage, they stop reporting to the credit bureaus.
Our lawyer contacted our lender when we filed and they confirmed this.
It would seem that if you do reaffirm, it would be helpful in rebuilding credit.
Our situation may be different than some, however, as we do not owe more than what it is worth and our home isn't very expensive ($120k).
