Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Deed in Lieu or Short sale(If possible)

I may possibly be losing my home. I have excellent credit. Spoke with bank. Bank will not do a loan modification, they of course suggested the above. My question is this: Chase bank said they would still put on my credit a foreclosure? I have read on the web and other financia websites this isnt true. Could someone please give me the correct answer?

It is up to the lender. The acceptance of a deed in lieu of a foreclosure may also be reported by the lender if they so choose. You should hire an attorney to represent you and try to work this out to your benefit.
