If you want to keep the home and if you can continue the payments, then you won't go into foreclosure. Filing BK doesn't mean lenders will automatically foreclose the loan. If you can not keep up the payments, then that's when the home is usually surrendered and included in the BK. Unforetunately, when you surrender the home (or do a DUI), the lender still has to foreclose, so in a sense, the home is foreclosed, BUT your credit report DOES NOT reflect the foreclosure. It will simply list the home as included in BK.Bankruptcy History:
