BK
My credit score is low (540 FICO). About 40K in debt and thinking of filing BK. From a lender's viewpoint, is it less favorable to have a BK than low FICO? Does it matter?

Sorry, but I'm having real heartburn with the idea you want to declare bankruptcy to wipe out your existing debt then turn around and try to buy a house. Take your time, get your financial house in order, then think about buying a house.
