Wow. That made my heard hurt a little, but here’s what I THINK he (or she? Meh…) is asking:

Can a foreclosure affect his friend’s current employment?
If he is currently employed, then not likely. If he is job hunting, some employers do run credit checks on applicants, though I don’t know what in the reports they would look for that might keep them from hiring someone. I imagine it would be a little different for every employer.

Does the ding to his friend’s credit only stay on his credit report for 2 years?
No. I thought it was at least 7 years. Someone else correct me if I’m wrong.
