I'm sorry, but why should banks become guarantors of your purchasing decisions?

Quite honestly, if the OP's house has lost half of it's value, and they still owe tons on it, the smart thing to do is walk away from it. The trick is to purchase a new home before you walk away from the prior home. I've seen it done numerous times, it's can be done, even now. Sure it dings your credit, but you get out of a no win situation, move into a different, sometimes better home that is worth more than your current home.
What's the difference if you have a bad credit score if you don't use credit anymore? That should be everyone's goal, get off the credit addiction. You can settle with credit card companies for 30 cents on the dollar or less if you want to.
