Me and my husband are going through some tough financial times and are looking at a possible foreclosure on a home we own in Florida. How can you repair your credit after an foreclosure?
 
This is tough. Is there a possibility that you can file bankruptcy instead? In most bankruptcy cases you can keep your home. A foreclosure is more damaging than bankruptcy. It will take years to repair your credit. Try to save your house first.
 
pay all your other bills on time. get a better paying job to pay your house bill and dont go through the foreclosure.
 
While I never did anything on the scale you are facing, I did mess up my credit pretty badly during my younger days after I lost my job and two credit cards were cancelled for non payment.

A few years later I had my dad guarantee a loan I took out for a replacement car after my old one was stolen. After paying it off I had excellent credit again. If you are young you don't have much to worry about, your credit will eventually fix itself, if you are older it might be tougher in the medium term.
