I believe the general idea is that a foreclosure is worse than a BK on your credit report. If you file a ch. 13, you will have some time to get back on your feet and keep the house, if that's what you want. If you file a ch. 7 then most likely you won't have to pay the CCs, of course you won't have them any more, but could you afford the house payment wtihout them? Search the archives - it's in there somewhere. good luck. Basically either one is gonna screw up your credit, but I believe that a foreclosure is worse because that was done TO you, whereas with a bankruptcy you at least took charge of your options and did something. Just my 2 cents worth.
