how long before a foreclosure comes off of your credit
A foreclosure remains on your credit report for 7 years, but its impact to your FICOÂ® score will lessen over time. While a foreclosure is considered a very negative event by your FICO score, it's a common misconception that it will ruin your score for a very long time. In fact, if you keep all of your other credit obligations in good standing, your FICO score can begin to rebound in as little as 2 years.
